    phpize
    ./configure
    make
    make install
    added extension=saprfc.so in php.ini file

      Hi Prajay, please make sure saprfc.so file already exists.

      1. Prajay Verenkar

        Hi Gia,

        saprfc.so does not exist in default php extension directory.

        After make install i got that following line
        Installing shared extensions: /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226/

      3. Prajay Verenkar

        Hi Gia,

        updated php.ini file
        extension=/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226/saprfc.so

        following error i am getting in /var/log/apache2/error.log

        caught SIGTERM, shutting down
        PHP Warning: PHP Startup: saprfc: Unable to initialize module\nModule compiled with module API=20131226\nPHP compiled with module API=20121212\nThese options need to match\n in Unknown on line 0

        1. Gia

          “/usr/lib/php5/20121212/saprfc.so” are you sure saprfc.so file exist in that directory?

  2. Prajay Verenkar

    phpinfo page saprfc module not shown

    i have installed saprfc-1.4.1 on linux 4.0.4-x86_64 (ubuntu14) machine.

    Aya, the error “Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/src/saprfc-1.4.1/modules/saprfc.so’ – libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0” is and indication that you have SELINUX enabled. It is not recomended, but for testing you can disabled it using:

    # echo 0 >/selinux/enforce

    Restart apache using:
    # service httpd restart

    Look at the httpd error log under /var/log/httpd/error_log and the error should be gone. If you get an error about compat-libstdc++ you can install it using:

    # yum install compat-libstdc++-33

    Hope this helps someone.

      Hi Gia,

      /usr/lib/php5/20121212/saprfc.so is missing.

      i updated php.ini
      extension=/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226/saprfc.so

      and i m getting following error

      caught SIGTERM, shutting down
      PHP Warning: PHP Startup: saprfc: Unable to initialize module\nModule
      compiled with module API=20131226\nPHP
      compiled with module API=20121212\nThese options need to match\n in Unknown on line 0

      1. Prajay Verenkar

        Finally i was able to figure out my issue.
        There were 2 PHP installed on my machine. i used following command and it worked

        which php (to find php is being used) it returned me /usr/bin/
        which phpize returned me /usr/bin/phpize

        * ./configure –with-php-config=/usr/bin/php-config
        * make
        * make test
        * make install

  4. Aya

    A year after the initial post, but i hope i still get an answer. I am trying to get this working on centos 6.5 with php 5.4.

    everyting seems to go as it should but i get the following errormessage when starting php:

    Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/src/saprfc-1.4.1/modules/saprfc.so’ – libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

    1. Gia

      Hi Aya,

      Please make sure saprfc.so file already exists in ‘/usr/src/saprfc-1.4.1/modules/’ and check a permission file.

      Regards,
      Gia.

    Hi,

    can you provide to me rfcsdk 6.20 / 6.40 & sapcar package?
    because I don’t have login.

    Thanks & Regards,

    Alfa

    1. Gia

    How About Centos 6.4? I’m a newbie and installing on it with your procedure seems doesn’t works.
    Do you have any experience in it?
    Thanks

    SR

    1. Gia

      Hi Simone,

      I’ve never tried install in CentOS 6.4

      Which step in my procedure doesn’t work?
      Are you got some error when make/make install or you can analyze your httpd error.log.

      HTH
