uploadprogress extension fails

[richardbporter]

Hi - Quick question, should I be able to install the pecl-uploadprogress extension with this module? I'm having trouble and just want to know if its something I'm doing wrong. It looks like the module is trying to install "php-pecl-uploadprogress" when it seems like it should just be "pecl-uploadprogress"

Thanks.

Hmmm, I'm going to need more details. The package name you mention clearly isn't valid for RHEL/Fedora, so I'm guessing you use another distribution. I thought the recent changes that others contributed to also covered Debian/Ubuntu now, but maybe not.

Please provide the details about the distribution you are using as well as a copy/paste of the relevant puppet manifest bits where you're calling php::module (and maybe others).

I think you're right. This package might need to be installed differently on CentOS. Anyway, here is some info.

I'm using a Vagrant box running CentOS 6.5 provided by PuppetLabs: http://puppet-vagrant-boxes.puppetlabs.com/

The package I'm trying to install is : http://pecl.php.net/package/uploadprogress

Here is the relevant manifest info:

...

# EPEL
class { "epel": }

# PHP
php::ini { "/etc/php.ini":
  allow_url_fopen         => "On", 
  error_reporting         => "E_ALL | E_STRICT",
  expose_php              => "Off",
  display_errors          => "On",
  memory_limit            => "256M",
  upload_max_filesize     => "50M",
  date_timezone           => "America/Chicago",
}

include php::cli

php::module { [ "pecl-apc", "devel", "gd", "ldap", "mbstring", "mcrypt", "pecl-memcache", "mysql", "pdo", "soap", "pecl-uploadprogress", "pecl-xdebug", "xml" ]: }

I think your problem is simply that this PECL module is not packaged as an RPM in EPEL, so puppet's yum provider will never find it...

[root@el6 ~]# yum list '*upload*'
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Installed Packages
libreport-plugin-reportuploader.x86_64           2.0.9-19.el6           @os

abrt-plugin-reportuploader.x86_64                1.1.16-3.el6           optional
perl-Flickr-Upload.noarch                        1.32-2.el6             epel    
php-pear-HTTP-Upload.noarch                      0.9.1-5.el6            epel

I see that Remi's repository does include that module for the versions of PHP he builds and maintains : http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/6/

In any case, this is not a problem with my module : There's no magic, the RPM package must be available before it can be installed... so closing.

Yep. Sorry, I'm fairly new to this. Thanks for your help.
