Web Hosting Configuration Help

[Chris Jordan]

I am using a web hosting service for my web site and it is running Apache
1.3.27 with PHP4 however when I try to run some of my PHP code it doesn't
have all the required libraries. Error message:

Warning: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php4/readline.so' -
/usr/lib/php4/readline.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory in ...

I am developing locally on Windows XP so my question is where can I get a
pre-compiled readline.so library and when I get that do I just need to
upload it into the directory shown above? Will that solve my problem?

Best Regards,

Chris

What is the exact php version ? What is the function or code portion
produicing such an error ? Did you read php manual pages related to that
function ? Does it require php to be compiled with specific libs/options
? did you try to load readline with dl() function ? http://php.net/dl
(providing you know lib's path and it's already made on box). Did you
take time to get phpinfo(), check installed libs and make options (the
fist table row).

nobody is perfect ;) You should considere using the same configuration
for dev and production purposes. That will prevent you from wasting time
while going "live".

This is not windows™ ;))) compilation is required on each cpu because
it links needed libs using « real path » to them ... Probability that «
copying .so » solves your pb is REALLY low :)
