How to enable PECL uploadprogress extention in MAMP

Uploadprogress in MAMP

FileField and ImageField 3.0 for Drupal 6 are now finally released, and the final release enables upload progress indication. This enhancement requires the PECL module uploadprogress that is a PHP extension. Many OS X users are using MAMP to sandbox their development environment.

Content

Build uploadprogress in Leopard (version 10.5.x)
Build uploadprogress in Snow Leopard (version 10.6.1)
Manually build uploadprogress or any PECL extension
Still having problems with uploadprogress? Try a prebuild module or read some word of warnings.

When updating to the final version 3 release you will get a friendly warning visiting the page admin/reports/status
Upload progress
Your server is capable of displaying file upload progress, but does not have the required libraries. It is recommended to install the PECL uploadprogress library (prefered) or to install APC.

As an early adopter I could not find any information on the web on how to compile and get a PHP extension installed and up and running under MAMP. After a day forth and back between pages I solved it, and decided to try and document is for other that are still struggling:

Leopard (10.5.)

apple_mac_os_x_10.5_leopard_1024x768_1.jpg

Install Xcode Tools from your Mac OS X DVD or download it from Apple Developer Connection
Download the complete PHP source code from php.net into /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.
Create an include directory in the the php5 directory.
Unzip/tar the php source archive and move it to /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/include
Rename the php source directory to just php (so then it will look like /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/include/php)
In Terminal use the following commands to compile the extension
"cd /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/include/php"
"./configure"
"cd /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin"
"./pecl i uploadprogress"
The result should be "Build process completed successfully". Now all you need is to move the newly compiled extension to the folder containing the existing PHP-extensions. On my system is it located at: /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20050922 it might be slightly different on your configuration.
To help with finding the extensions directory, look at your phpinfo page from MAMP: Under "PHP Core" is the listing for "extension_dir" that will be the path you want to copy to. You can also use this same page to confirm that the extension is successfully enabled.
Open the /Applications/MAMP/conf/php5/php.ini file and add extension=uploadprogress.so in the ; Extensions section.
Restart MAMP and you should be all set.

Screen shot 2009-09-20 at 13.40.22.png

To verify that the extension got successfully loaded by Apache, take a look in your phpinfo page from MAMP. Just search the page for "uploadprogress". You can also manually load PHP this way and it will tell you what extensions it uses:
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/php -m

Snow Leopard (10.6)

Snow Leopard is almost identical to Leopard (and should be) except section 6. A lot of people had problem loading the compiled module (read comments bellow) in PHP. After a lot of trail and errors I managed to come up with a solution that worked (at my system at least)

This changes in section 6, first does we need to define some GCC env. so paste this into your terminal:
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6 CFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp" CCFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" LDFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -bind_at_load" export CFLAGS CXXFLAGS LDFLAGS CCFLAGS MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET

In Terminal use the following commands to compile the extension
cd /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/include/php ./configure cd /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin ./pecl i uploadprogress

Manually build your PECL extension

http://www.flickr.com/photos/grrphoto/ / CC BY 2.0

No you don't need to be a Ninja to manually build an PECL module. Just download the extension and unpack it to you favourite directory then:
cd uploadprogress-version /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/phpize MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6 CFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp" CCFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" LDFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -bind_at_load" export CFLAGS CXXFLAGS LDFLAGS CCFLAGS MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET ./configure --with-php-config=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/php-configmake make
The compiled module is now locate in modules and you need to copy it to the correct PHP extension directory. As usual you need to include the module in php.ini belonging to MAMP and restart the MAMP server.

Still not working or are you just lazy?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/markjsebastian/ / CC BY-SA 2.0

If all of the above fails, read the instruction again and try to understand the steps, follow the carefully and keep a eye out for errors. Still reading? Then I guess you are getting quite desperate, but not all hope is lost. I have uploaded some precompiled extensions:

uploadprogress.so version 1.0.0 The extension is tested in MAMP 1.7.1, 1.7.2, 1.8.x under OS X version 10.5.x and 10.6.x.
uploadprogress.so version 1.0.1 The extension is tested in MAMP 1.8.x under OS X version 10.6.x.

As usual you need to include the module in php.ini belonging to MAMP and restart the MAMP server

Heads up if you have macports installed

Just a heads up...one thing that can cause headaches is if you have macports libraries installed that you have to link against....on Snow leopard if you don't edit /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf and uncomment this line build_arch i386 before you install the port it will compile using x86_64 architecture.....

Then when you try to build your extension (fileinfo in my case which needs libmagic installed) and point the config to look in /opt/local/ , if you are targeting 32 bit the build will crap out, and if you build in 64 bit obviously and you are downloading a precompiled version of 32 bit MAMP, then the extension won't load....anyhoo, I spose you could build MAMP from source in 64 bit as the other alternative.

Once the extension is compiled and moved into MAMP's own extension's directory, does the extra downloaded copy of PHP need to remain, or can it be deleted?

Hi!
Once I get to "./pecl i uploadprogress"
I get this error message:

No releases available for package "pecl.php.net/uploadprogress" Cannot initialize 'channel://pecl.php.net/uploadprogress', invalid or missing package file Package "channel://pecl.php.net/uploadprogress" is not valid install failed

I think the link is incorrect, because it should be: http://pecl.php.net/get/uploadprogress

Help anyone?

I am running on my test machine which is my laptop running Mac OS X 10.4.10. + drupal 6.12 + MAMP Pro 1.7.2 (I think it won't make any difference if I am using the free version of MAMP).

Mon, 06/15/2009 - 16:08 — webmaster

I think the problem is that

I think the problem is that you are running ver. 10.4 (not 100% sure)
You could test it by manually downloading the extension and unpack it (anywhere). then run:
phpize (This makes the "build files". If that worked)
./configure
make

phpize is a part of the system wide installed PHP and it is prob. to old release: Try "whereis phpize" and the shell will tell you what location.

This is from my OS X ver. 10.5.6:
"phpize --version"

move the newly compiled extension

HI Thanks for this. I finished up to the end of the terminal bit, got the "Build process completed successfully" but I'm confused about which file needs to be moved where? Should there be a new file created in the newly created 'include' directory that I need to move? Thanks

Thu, 07/16/2009 - 01:25 — webmaster

Move uploadprogress.so

The compilation create an extension named uploadprogress.so. This is the file you need to move.

Well done, thanks. To help with finding the extensions directory, look at your phpinfo page from MAMP: Under "PHP Core" is the listing for "extension_dir" that will be the path you want to copy to. You can also use this same page to confirm that the extension is successfully enabled.

uploadprogress not enabled

Thanks for the instructions... I tried to compile and install uploadprogress following the instructions above, and it looks like everything went well, but the extension does not seem to be enabled.

I am on OS X 10.6 running mamp v. 1.8.1 with php 5.2.10. I added the appropriate line to php.ini and made the uploadprogress.so file was executable.

Am I missing something or are there any known conflicts I should look out for?

Not Working Either

I've tried twice now to follow these instructions, but without success. I tried once with my original install of MAMP. Everything completed successfully, I moved the uploadprogress.so into the correct folder and changed the PHP.ini. Still didn't work. So, just in case I screwed up, I re-installed the latest version of MAMP, downloaded the latest version of PHP, and followed the steps. Again, no error messages, but I can't find uploadprogress on the PHPinfo page and my Drupal site still indicates that it's not installed. Any idea? Where exactly should I check on the PHPinfo page for evidence that it's actually installed. Thanks for the tutorial.

Uploaded precompiled uploadprogress extension

Have done some more debugging and I think the problem is that PHP is compiled in 32 bit mode, but when you compile on 10.6 modules by default get compiled in 64 bit mode:

file uploadprogress.so
uploadprogress.so: Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64
Get compiled GCC in 10.6.x

uploadprogress.so
uploadprogress.so: Mach-O bundle i386
Compiled in 10.5.x and are working.

I have uploaded a precompiled uploadprogress.so to try and help you out until we have solved this problem. The extension is tested and is working in MAMP 1.7.1, 1.7.2, 1.8.x under OS X ver. 10.5.x and 10.6.x.

@ryosaeb4 You must have done

@ryosaeb4
You must have done something wrong prior to point 6.
Autoconf is part of Xcode check if it is installed by
ls -l /Developer/usr/bin/autoconf

If you are trying manually to build the extension make sure you run the phpize that is a part of MAMP (/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/phpize), OS X also ship with phpize and make sure you are in the top level dir of the module source code.

Remember to include the extension in your MAMP php.ini file and look for problems inside your /Applications/MAMP/logs/php_error.log
