Linux – How to recompile PHP

linuxPHPssh

I have changed some settings in various things on my site and I am being told i need to "recompile PHP" via ssh.

can anybody tell me how to do that?

OOF, harsh – people wanna shut this one real fast.

Heres the situation. I have some nice preg_matches going on throughout my site, but the server I am on is throwing up errors left and right, complaining about my PCRE not being UTF-8 friendly.

After researching the problem, it seems the only way to make it friendly is by recompiling PHP with a few flags in the conditions.

And that is where I'm at.

Begin by figuring out how to connect to your server via ssh. Then use wget to download the latest php sources. cd into the directory with the unzipped files. Run configure with the options you want, then run make.

Linux Bash – How to Sort du -h Output by Size

As of GNU coreutils 7.5 released in August 2009, sort allows a -h parameter, which allows numeric suffixes of the kind produced by du -h:

du -hs * | sort -h

If you are using a sort that does not support -h, you can install GNU Coreutils. E.g. on an older Mac OS X:

brew install coreutils
du -hs * | gsort -h

From sort manual:

-h, --human-numeric-sort compare human readable numbers (e.g., 2K 1G)

Nginx – How to restart php-fpm

Note: prepend sudo if not root

Using SysV Init scripts directly:

/etc/init.d/php-fpm restart    # typical
/etc/init.d/php5-fpm restart   # debian-style
/etc/init.d/php7.0-fpm restart # debian-style PHP 7

Using service wrapper script

service php-fpm restart    # typical
service php5-fpm restart   # debian-style
service php7.0-fpm restart # debian-style PHP 7

Using Upstart (e.g. ubuntu):

restart php7.0-fpm         # typical (ubuntu is debian-based) PHP 7
restart php5-fpm           # typical (ubuntu is debian-based)
restart php-fpm            # uncommon

Using systemd (newer servers):

systemctl restart php-fpm.service    # typical
systemctl restart php5-fpm.service   # uncommon
systemctl restart php7.0-fpm.service # uncommon PHP 7

Or whatever the equivalent is on your system.
