how to install php53-mcrypt on centos

To install manually php53-mcrypt on your server follow the steps below,

when you are facing the issue of conflict then these steps will help you to resolve the issue.

First install some required packages:

yum install php53-devel libmcrypt-devel gcc gcc-c++

Then download the php 5.3.6 source code from php.net and unpack it:

wget http://mx2.php.net/get/php-5.3.6.tar.bz2/from/us3.php.net/mirror
tar xvjf php-5.3.6.tar.bz2

(Please note that the download link will change with every subsequent PHP release.)

Go to the directory with the mcrypt extension source code and compile:

cd php-5.3.6/ext/mcrypt/
phpize
aclocal
./configure
make

Then install:

make install

Create the configuration file for PHP /etc/php.d/mcrypt.ini containing:

extension=mcrypt.so

Restart apache:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

Create a file with phpinfo just to check if the extension was loaded:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

postgresql: Error connections  limit exceeded for nonsuper users.
to check how much connections are there.

try netstat -an|grep 5432

installing Mysql-server mysql Table 'mysql.servers' doesn't exist

This should solve the problem. Not sure how this problem started for me but I have used the below query and its eliminated the error.

CREATE TABLE `servers` (
`Server_name` char(64) NOT NULL,
`Host` char(64) NOT NULL,
`Db` char(64) NOT NULL,
`Username` char(64) NOT NULL,
`Password` char(64) NOT NULL,
`Port` int(4) DEFAULT NULL,
`Socket` char(64) DEFAULT NULL,
`Wrapper` char(64) NOT NULL,
`Owner` char(64) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`Server_name`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COMMENT='MySQL Foreign Servers table';
