php ssh extension installation in Debian Server

Post by Daisy100 »

We have got 2 Debian servers - a testing and a production server. I could successfully install the SSH module for PHP in the test server. However,in Production Server, I would like to copy the compiled packages and make the changes in php.ini to add the ssh module.

I have Copied libssh2.so file and the ssh.so file from test to production server.
Added the extension directive in php.ini

Doing this I can connect with SSH to the remote server but fopen into the remote server fails.
It fails in the following code :(in the production server)

@fopen('ssh2.sftp://'.$sftp.$remoteFile, 'w');

$sftp is the SFTP connection
$remoteFile is the full path of the remote file that needs to be created.

This code works perfectly in the test server.

What did I do wrong. Any help is welcome including some explanation on how the libssh2 package is compiled in Debian.(I am quite new to Debian and in the process of understanding how the system works).

Well I solved the issue and I thought I would post the solution.
fopen needed to be activated in php.ini

I've tried a lot to get this crap working but php not recognize the functions of this lib even after I installed it all... just use this instead: http://phpseclib.sourceforge.net/
