Installing 4.1.1 on OS X - issue with iconv

Jani Tarvainen	Sunday 10 May 2009 1:08:04 pm eZ Publish 4.1.1 requires iconv support to be enabled in PHP. Normally installation is a snap, but Idiscovered that it is quite tricky to get iconv support to work on OS X (at least using PHP built from source and iconv from Ports installed). And to just to be clear - this is not an issue with eZ Publish, just the platform :) Just incase you hit the same issue - here are the steps that worked for me (OS X 10.5.6, PHP 5.2.9): - get PHP source, extract, etc., have your current configure command available (from phpinfo(), for example) - run configure: ./configure --with-apxs2 - run make - reconfigure with your current configure command (remove "--with-apxs2" and make sure you use: --with-iconv=/opt/local) - make - make install - restart apache More info: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43189 -- http://ezpublish.fi/
Łukasz Serwatka	Monday 11 May 2009 12:14:00 am Hi, Thanks for sharing your experience. Another easy way is to just install PHP via MacPorts[1] where the iconv is enabled by default. Works great in my environment. Using MAMP[2] should be easy as well, it has iconv enabled too.

It has pretty much everything built in and installation is a snap: http://www.entropy.ch/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=3937&sid=a96908f62deacc8232d36b36438ffcb7 -- http://ezpublish.fi/

Just incase you hit the same issue - here are the steps that worked for me (OS X 10.5.6, PHP 5.2.9):

- get PHP source, extract, etc., have your current configure command available (from phpinfo(), for example)
- run configure: ./configure --with-apxs2
- run make
- reconfigure with your current configure command (remove "--with-apxs2" and make sure you use: --with-iconv=/opt/local)
- make
- make install
- restart apache
