Need help installing PHP

[intosite]

Trying to run a webserver on the imx8mpevk.

Managed to install Nginx and run. But having issues with PHP.

in local.conf, added IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " php"

bitbake imx-image-full with no errors.

Loaded the image onto emmc, but trying to run php -v gives command not found.

In /opt/yocto/imx-6.6.52-2.2.0-build/build_fsl-imx-xwayland/tmp/work/armv8a-poky-linux/php/8.2.20/temp install logs show no errors.

Not sure how to proceed

This works now and compiles. Flash the image and load it. php -v works. But apache2 still unable to serve .php files

Please check whether this file exist in your system.

/usr/lib/php7/build/run-tests.php

I didn't find other *.php file provided by php package.

[intosite]

I uploaded my own php file to '/usr/share/apache2/default-site/htdocs'.

// /usr/share/apache2/default-site/htdocs/info.php
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

When I try to access it, browser returns 'File not found.' index.html and plain text .txt files work, so I can confirm apache is server files from the folder.

root@imx8mpevk:/var/files# ls /usr/lib/php7/build/run-tests.php
ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/php7/build/run-tests.php': No such file or directory

Found the file in '/usr/lib/php8/build' and ran it. Below is the output.

root@imx8mpevk:/usr/lib/php8/build# php run-tests.php

Would you please create a new thread to address the apache2 server running problem?

[intosite]

Yes this works now. Flashed the image and in console php -v works. But the apache2 server cannot serve any .php files. It returns 'File not found. '

In my conf/local.conf i have set this

PACKAGECONFIG:append:pn-php = " apache2 mysql sqlite3"

[yipingwang]

Please add the following line in file conf/local.conf.

IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " php-dbg php-cli php-cgi php-fpm php-fpm-apache2 php-dev php-staticdev php-doc php"

Then rebuild rootfs filesystem.

$ bitbake imx-image-full

[intosite]

Does not work.

Get error and it stops there.

Reading package lists...

E: Unable to locate package php-staticdev

If i try to bitbake them individually, i get all the same errors.

bitbake php-dbg
ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'php-dbg'. Close matches:
  php RPROVIDES php-dbg

bitbake php-cli
ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'php-cli'. Close matches:

bitbake php-fpm

bitbake php-fpm-apache2
ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'php-fpm-apache2'. Close matches:

bitbake php-dev
ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'php-dev'. Close matches:
  php RPROVIDES php-dev

bitbake php-doc
ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'php-doc'. Close matches:

Only bitbake php works and completes.

[yipingwang · Accepted solution]

Please delete php-staticdev from the list.

Please add the following line in file conf/local.conf.

IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " php-dbg php-cli php-cgi php-fpm php-fpm-apache2 php-dev php-doc php"

Then rebuild rootfs filesystem.

$ bitbake imx-image-full

If your problem persists, please provide your build error log.
