Using SAP RFC SDK for SAP Logon via php via Host Provider

[Former Member]

I'm trying to do this. I have moved all the files up to one directory available via /home/sapsuper/public_html/SAPRFC by a host provider. When I do "phpize", that runs fine with just a couple of messages re: some function being recursively called.

But when I do the ./configure, I get messages which seem to imply that the php.ini system settings are not being overwritten with my own php.ini settings in the SAP directory:

checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out

checking whether the C compiler works... yes

I have the includes in /home/sapsuper/public_html/SAPRFC/include and the extensions in /home/sapsuper/public_html/SAPRFC/includes. The directory itself is /home/sapsuper/public_html/SAPRFC and here Is a list of the files it contains:

My pertinent php.ini settings are:

extension=saprfc.so

Anyone done this before? What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

you need RFCSDK (can be downloaded from SAP Service Market Place) for compilation and run of saprfc. Standard paths where must be RFCSDK placed are: /usr/sap/rfcsdk /usr/local/rfcsdk /opt/rfcsdk . You can change this paths in the config.m4 file. You also have to shared library librfccm.so from RFCSDK in the some system library directory (/etc/ld.so.conf).

Sorry to bother you, but there is not so much information about saprfc and Linux set-up, and I can't wait to use your php module...

Hum, could you be more specific? Maybe I m missing something here....

I m trying to run SAPRFC on a Linux box (<b>Ubuntu with PHP 5.2.1</b>)

I m using the rfcsdk in /usr/sap/rfcsdk/

Everything looks fine while I run ./configure... except it say:

Checking dynamic linker characteristics... cat: /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf: No such file or directory

Buy the Way:

I did changed the php.ini, adding the lines: in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; SAPRFC Extension ;

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;http://saprfc.sourceforge.net/

;

extension=saprfc.so

;

and the php module : /etc/php5/conf.d/saprfc.in

1. configuration for php SAPRFC module

extension=saprfc.so

I also took care of my /etc/services

##> All those are set-up for SAP RFC

##

#

1. SAP services

sapdp00 3200/tcp

sapdp01 3201/tcp

...

I also tried to fix the <b>/etc/ld.so.conf</b>

1. Begin /etc/ld.so.conf

include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf

/usr/local/lib/*

/usr/sap/rfcsdk/lib/librfccm.so

1. End /etc/ld.so.conf

And run ldconfig to update it... But this is the first time I hear about this file... maybe I m doing it wrong... Or maybe it doesn't work with php 5.2.1 ... or I just should move to OpenSUSE 10.1 ? All our production servers are under Debian... it will be a big fuss
