cron + Call to undefined function mysql_connect()

[pppplus]

Hi

I've another problem after upgrading to php 5.6

mysql_connect does not work anymore with cron

My installation :

Centos 6.8
php1_release=5.6
php1_mode=php-fpm
php2_release=5.3 (no more used)
php2_mode=php-fpm


If I execute from ssh, it works :
php /home/castor/domains/mydomain.com/cron/nettoyage.php

But from cron, I've the error : Call to undefined function mysql_connect()


I read I have to add
extension=msql.so

But I find it strange (and it has no effect)

mysql_* was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0. I can only guess that your cron is refusing to continue when the script throws a warning.

Try to run it with the php 5.3 binary and see if it will work.

I forgot to write it's the same with mysqli_connect

When I run this :

/usr/local/php56/bin/php -r "mysql_connect();"

I've got:

PHP Warning:  mysql_connect(): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' (using password: NO) in Command line code on line 1

on my server with a default PHP 5.6:

# /usr/local/php56/bin/php -i | grep configure | grep -o "\-\-with\-mysql[^\']*"
--with-mysql=mysqlnd
--with-mysql-sock=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
--with-mysqli=mysqlnd

And what you get as a result for the both commands?

/usr/local/php56/bin/php -r "mysql_connect();"

/usr/local/php56/bin/php -i | grep configure | grep -o "\-\-with\-mysql[^\']*"

Thanks for your help

# /usr/local/php56/bin/php -r "mysql_connect();"
PHP Warning:  mysql_connect(): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' (using password: NO) in Command line code on line 1

# /usr/local/php56/bin/php -i | grep configure | grep -o "\-\-with\-mysql[^\']*"
--with-mysql=mysqlnd
--with-mysql-sock=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
--with-mysqli=mysqlnd

So, it's the same, and your PHP is installed with support of "mysql_connect()".

My guess is that the cron script is using PHP built either from yum/rpm or by other means, so try and find out which PHP it is using. Is the file open-source? Or encoded?

rpm -qa | grep php

head [COLOR=#333333]/home/castor/domains/mydomain.com/cron/nettoyage.php -n1

[/COLOR]

php -v && php --ini

You should remove the rpms:

php-odbc-5.3.3-48.el6_8.x86_64
php-pear-1.9.4-5.el6.noarch
php-pdo-5.3.3-48.el6_8.x86_64
php-cli-5.3.3-48.el6_8.x86_64
php-common-5.3.3-48.el6_8.x86_64
php-imap-5.3.3-48.el6_8.x86_64
php-pecl-geoip-1.0.8-3.el6.x86_64


If for any reason you can not remove them, then try and specify a full path on cron for PHP. It seems that cron uses php from /usr/bin/:

/usr/local/php56/bin/php /home/castor/domains/mydomain.com/cron/nettoyage.php

 

[pppplus]

Yes ! You're right, one more time !!

With /usr/local/php56/bin/php , it works;

I will remove rpms.

Thanks you very much Alex !!
Best regards

Hi Alex

I'm not sure about what I can do exactly.

- pear 1.9.4 seems the actual pear, so I suppose I do not remove it.
- php-pecl-geoip-1.0.8-3.el6.x86_64 is what I just install today with your help ?


php-odbc-5.3.3-48.el6_8.x86_64
php-pdo-5.3.3-48.el6_8.x86_64
php-cli-5.3.3-48.el6_8.x86_64
php-common-5.3.3-48.el6_8.x86_64
php-imap-5.3.3-48.el6_8.x86_64

These 5 lines seems to be attached to php 5.3
So I can remove them ? right ?

To remove, I simply run :
yum remove php-odbc
yum remove php-pdo
yum remove php-cli
yum remove php-common
yum remove php-imap


Thanks for your reply.

On a server with Directadmin by default you don't need to have any php-* packages and php-pear as well. Custombuild installs PHP with pecl and pear:

# ls -1 /usr/local/php*/bin/pear
/usr/local/php53/bin/pear
/usr/local/php54/bin/pear
/usr/local/php55/bin/pear
/usr/local/php56/bin/pear
/usr/local/php70/bin/pear
/usr/local/php71/bin/pear

Run:

yum remove php-*

to remove php-* RPM packages. It will ask a confirmation if you run it without -y flag. So it's safe to run and see a list of packages to be removed.

Perfect, thanks Alex.
