Multiple versions php: sphinx module php version mismatch

yehudigt

Basic Pleskian
I've already posted this but I'm opening a new post to better illustrate the problem that has not been solved, hoping that somebody from official plesk support can help...:
I'm trying to install sphinx module for php 5.5 (alternate php-cgi version) on a centos 6.6 plesk 12 server.
The problem is this that this module is not loading due to a version mismatch error :
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: sphinx: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20100525
PHP compiled with module API=20121212
These options need to match

To install this module basically two steps are needed (after having installed sphinx of course):
1) configure libsphincxclient from sphinx source:
cd sphinx-2.0.6-release/api/libsphinxclient
./configure
make
make install

2) install sphinx module: /opt/plesk/php/5.5/bin/pecl install sphinx

It seems like the module or the library have been installed with the wrong version of php (the system's one).
My questions are:
1) which one of the two isn't correctly compiled the module or the library?
2) how can I achieve to install this module with php 5.5? Module is already working on system's php 5.4.

I already tried this without succeeding:
/opt/plesk/php/5.5/bin/pecl config-set php_ini /opt/plesk/php/5.5/etc/php.ini
/opt/plesk/php/5.5/bin/pecl config-set php_bin /opt/plesk/php/5.5/bin/php
/opt/plesk/php/5.5/bin/pear config-set php_suffix ""
/opt/plesk/php/5.5/bin/pecl install --force sphinx

Thank you for your appreciated help.
 
Hello,

/opt/plesk/php/5.5/bin/pecl install sphinx
doesn't register extesion into php.ini, you should add it manually:

# echo 'extension=sphinx.so' > /opt/plesk/php/5.5/etc/php.d/sphinx.ini

Note, I succsessfully compiled this extension and load it into php 5.5:
Code:
# cd libsphinxclient && ./configure && make && make install

Thank you for your reply.
of course, I've already added those l ines to php.ini, and if I check phpinfo() the sphinx.ini file is loaded but the module no.
Reading your code, it's exactly what I have done. My version is sphinx-2.2.9-release.
I noticed you only used ./configure but didn't "make" and "make install"
 
Hello,

I did make && make install after configure (update post). Could you send an output of /opt/plesk/php/5.5/bin/pecl install sphinx command (may be in PM) and php.init entry with extension load?

Libraries have been installed in:
   /tmp/pear-build-rootB2KAuo/sphinx-1.3.3/modules

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

Don't forget to run 'make test'.

Yeah, this is a source of problem - pecl command appends bin_dir to PATH, and then execute phpize, so system one executed.
You need install devel files for Plesk php 5.5 by yum install plesk-php55-devel and then run /opt/plesk/php/5.5/pecl install sphinx again
