Would like to run PHP on my YUN, I have run the following on the YUN:
opkg update
opkg php5
Using WinXP and PuTTY connecting to root, I expect to type PHP and see the CLI version (like I can type python2.7). I have tried to find - name "php", expecting to find something like php5.4, no luck.
If I opkg install php5, I get "Package php5 (5.4.17-1) installed in root is up to date."
What am I missing?
Thanks...
Argh, I'm sorry: it seems like my previous instructions were wrong. You need to install php5-cli or php5-cgi: those will install an actual executable
hello so i had the same problem and i did:
opkg update
opkg install php5-cgi
i restarted the yun and when i type php i dont get the php cli.
Also putting a .php file into the www dir, does not open, it asks to save it.
What am i doing wrong?
if i try to reinstall i get:
Package php5-cgi (5.4.17-1) installed in root is up to date.
thanks in advance
Here is a link that might help:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/lamp?s[]=mysql#installing.and.configuring.php
@takissd when you install php5-cgi you install the cgi version of php (program is called php-cgi).
If you need the cli version you need to install php5-cli
hello there that did not work either...
i have installed both cli and cgi.
Also the link that @EdwardE send, i think i have everything it proposes there but still i cannot run php files...
Any detailed step by step procedure ?
Thanks again for your time!
Check out this link, make sure you 'uncomment the extension interpreter line for PHP in the main section of the uHTTPd config file':
Thanks for the reply, i am not quite sure where the uHTTPd config file is located,could you please let me know?
@takissd
It's /etc/config/uhttpd
Can you paste the sequence of commands you run to test the php is not working on the command line?
hello thanks for the reply.
Is there an easy way to edit this file?
I usually connected with Filezilla download it on my pc edit it and then upload again, but now i cannot do this with the yun, now idea why.
How do you guys edit the file?
Once i will edit it i will post what happened and the steps i took.
Thank you again
I haven't worked with the linino distro yet but I would assume that vi, nano or emacs are available. Try -
vi
move the cursor to where you want to edit
i to start editing
when done press esc then :wq then enter(: goes to command mode, wq stands for write and quit)
If you need to move the cursor around press esc first then i to insert
nano is much simpler if it is available, try opkg install nano if not
vi cheatsheet - http://www.lagmonster.org/docs/vi.html
@liomry: thank you very much vi worked fine! I forgot about that 
@Federico: Found the file and edit it, my steps where:
opkg update
opkg install php-cgi
opkg install php-cli
uncomment line on: /etc/config/uhttpd
Created a file callled hello.php that contains:
Uploaded the file on the sd card.
(BTW tested the file on my apache server at another machine it works fine)
I try to see the file from my browser as a hello.php, asks me to save the file (firefox)
renaming the file to hello.html i cannot see Hello World.
Any ideas?
Thanks again!
I think you just need to restart uhttpd. You've changed its configuration file but it's still running with the old configuration. Type
/etc/init.d/uhttpd restart
Given the hour of your last post, you have probably powered your yun off. When you'll turn it on again, your php file will be running fine
you are correct, i actually had it up and running till now but i restarted anyway It works now, thanks for your help!
