Problem width brew-php-switcher and macOS Sierra

[alisamii]

Hi,

Ever since I upgraded to macOS Sierra, I am having a problem with brew-php-switcher.

When I issue the command bps (I set an alias for brew-php-switcher) I get the following error:

 alisamii@alisamii  /usr/local/etc/apache2/2.4  bps 70

All done!

When I check line 172 of my https.conf file I see the following (lines 168-175):

LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so
#LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

LoadModule php7_module /usr/local/opt/php70/libexec/apache2/libphp7.so

#LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/opt/php56/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

LoadModule hfs_apple_module libexec/apache2/mod_hfs_apple.so

When I check the location of libphp7.so I see it is there:

 alisamii@alisamii  /usr/local/etc/apache2/2.4  ls -l /usr/local/opt/php70/libexec/apache2/
total 11268
-rwxr-xr-x 1 alisamii admin 11537132 Oct 25 17:39 libphp7.so

and same thing for libphp5.so

 alisamii@alisamii  /usr/local/etc/apache2/2.4  ls -l /usr/local/opt/php56/libexec/apache2/

-rwxr-xr-x 1 alisamii admin 11362692 Oct 25 17:24 libphp5.so

How do I solve this issue?

[alisamii]

Hmmm...it also looks like bps thinks I am using Homebrew apache2, which I am not. I am using apple's built-in apache2.

[philcook]

@alisamii yes this looks like a big issue, I too have upgraded and notice things have changed! I will mark this as a bug.

FYI I am without an internet connection outside of work currently but this should be resolved soon and will be then able to update this project.

[alisamii]

Any update on this big issue?

[oncode]

@alisamii The php formulas all seem to have removed the libexec modules by default. When installing a php version with the option --with-apache a new apache gets installed and linked by brew. With brew unlink httpd24 we can use the built-in apache again. This has to be done everytime we install a new php version. But maybe someone wants to use the Homebrew apache, so I would recommend getting the path to the httpd.conf file dynamically:

replacing line 27:
apache_conf_path="/etc/apache2/httpd.conf"
with:
apache_conf_path=$(apachectl -V | grep "SERVER_CONFIG_FILE") | cut -d '"' -f 2

This will output: /etc/apache2/httpd.conf or /usr/local/etc/apache2/2.4/httpd.conf (for Homebrew apache)

No update as yet, very busy in personal life at the moment. Hoping to pick the project in the new year.

@oncode when you refer to line 27 in what file are you referring?

I am finding that this issue is plaguing me in multiple ways. First, when I switch php versions using brew-php-switcher XX it appears to link/unlink various things, but regardless what I do, on the cli, when I issue the command

When I switch to PHP 70, this is what I get:

brew-php-switcher 70

All done!

So, I assume I'm using php70, including on the cli...but not so:

php -v
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/opt/php56-varnish/varnish.so' - dlopen(/usr/local/opt/php56-varnish/varnish.so, 9): image not found in Unknown on line 0

which php
/usr/local/opt/php56/bin/php

So, despite supposedly switching, it isn't.

But, when I load phpinfo in the browser, it is the correct version

PHP Version 7.0.14

Any ideas?

BTW, it really doesn't make a difference for me anymore, because for reasons completely unrelated to this, tonight is the last night for me. I will be no more. But maybe your answer will help others who may be in my situation (regarding PHP, not regarding ending my life, that is a whole other can of worms).

@mikebranderhorst How would I integrate my setup of dnsmasq?

Currently, I have the following setup:

dnsmasq.conf File

address=/.dev/127.0.0.1

Virtual Host File

# Virtual Hosts
#
# Required modules: mod_log_config

<Directory "/Volumes/sites">
  Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride All
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>

</Virtualhost>

@mikebranderhorst Did you see my question to you above?

[vrkansagara]

@philcook Can we take a reference form this gist
this very nicely couple of line near Linking new modphp addon... in this gist. which work perfectly fine for me, but some how it wasn't work for me.

I tried to install apache 24 with brew, and get it's already installed and it's located on /usr/local/Cellar/httpd/2.4.27_4/ I'm unable to remove that version and reuse brew-php-switcher for example when I switch to php71 I try to restart apache but can't open localhost at all, which is not case with php56. On the other hand I can restart apache only with sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl start and restarting with sudo apachectl start did pretty much nothing expect showing up AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using vaske-mbp.local. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message httpd (pid 21859) already running any idea what I did wrong? or what I should do to make running apache with php7?

I get this:

I was blocked by my corporate LAN from upgrading to High Sierra, but if or once I'm added to a Beta testing group, I will be able to and I can ditch this entire mess.
