Hi Going forward, I would like to propose changing the default location of our PHP5 modules or extensions from /usr/php5/modules to /var/php5/modules. I was wondering if I can hear your feed back on this change before I include this issue in the next ARC case. Also, if there is a way to be more zone friendly without making this change, I would be very happy to look into that option as well.
For folks within Sun, here is the bug : 6669573 to track this issue. http://monaco.sfbay.sun.com/detail.jsf?cr=6669573 For folks outside Sun, here is a description from the bug report our current integration delivers php modules under /usr . however, once we add pecl support, pecl allows customers to dynamically download and install them modules under the modules directory. in our case, the modules directory is /usr/php5/modules. however, in zones environment, /usr can be readonly. Hence, this severely limits customers from using pecl to download and install new third party extensions. However, if we changed the default location of our php modules to be under /var, then we could be more user friendly. Please note that this change in location should be transparent to most of the customers. Any comments ? thanks sriram
