Mhash for php

[phirschybar]

Hello all,

I need to integrate my shopping cart with authorize.net using their SIM (simple integration method). This requires that I use the mhash function which unfortunately is not available in php on my server, yet. Based what what I have gathered from various sources, including here, I need to recompile php with mhash. Is this correct? If so, could anyone please give me or point me to a "step-by-step" instruction on how to do this while maintaining the same basic configuration I have now (in other words, just adding the mhash). I am a linux nOOb.

I am on a Media Temple server running Red Hat Enterprise 3 and Plesk 7.5.2 in an "out of the box" configuration. I have php 4.3.2 installed.

My phpinfo() page: https://o-secure.com/php_test.php

Thanks for anything in advance!!!

You must install some PHP RPM packages with mhash support. Search on this forum for ART for example, he compiled such RPMS.

Thanks.

Do I need to rebuild php completely to use ART's mhash package. Or can I simply install the RPM on top of my php 4.3.2?

I am running:
php-imap-4.3.2-19.ent.swsoft
php-odbc-4.3.2-19.ent.swsoft
php-mysql-4.3.2-19.ent.swsoft
php-ldap-4.3.2-19.ent.swsoft
php-pgsql-4.3.2-19.ent.swsoft
php-4.3.2-19.ent.swsoft

Thanks

You have a Virtuozzo server. You can upgrade the current RPMs with the ART ones, make sure that you match the OS.

How do you know its a Virtuozzo and what is that, exactly?

.. And how do I match the OS?

Sorry, i am completely new to this.

Thanks.

Can anybody help me out on this? I am desperate to get this function running.

They're all availble on my site, I recommend installing those packages through yum

 

[phirschybar]

HEY ART!!!

So, should I just get one of these:
http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/packages/yum/

Configure it, and then run it? Is there anything else I would need to do?

 

[atomicturtle]

Thats it, assuming you dont already have it installed, you'd install the package, configure the channel(s).

 

[phirschybar]

So, I am running Red Hat Enterprise 3 and Plesk 7.5.2

However, on your page (http://www.atomicrocketturtle.com/m...ns&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=18&page=1) it says:

Note: Red Hat Enterprise Linux users should use up2date, as Red Hat does not provide free access to binary updates

Should I not be using one of your Yum RPMs then?

 

[atomicturtle]

I'd recommend using both, after all you are paying for their rpms

 

[phirschybar]

I am worried that I am going to screw something up and lose php for all of the domains on my server.

Does anyone know if SW-Soft is willing to perform a service like this for me? Or are there any good server maintenance companies out there who can work around Plesk who I can hire to perform this action?

I am clueless as to how to proceed and I desperately need to get mhash() working.

Please help !

A bunch of other folks do this as well, us, 4psa, cranky, etc.

It's because the rpm's you posted all end in .swsoft - that's used by Virtuozzo VPS application templates.

 

[atomicturtle]

Right, .swsoft means the source is SW-Soft
.dag and .rf mean the source is dag.wieers.com/rpmforge.net
.atrpms and .at means they come from www.atrpms.net (ATR)
.art mean they come from atomicrocketturtle.com (ART)
.sp means they come from serverpeak.com

AFIAK, Dag/Rpmforge, and Serverpeak/ART rpms have been included in PSA in the past.
