Hello

I  have issue to start PHP-FPM  and I get the following error
root:/opt/freeware/sbin:] php-fpm start
Could not load program php-fpm:
Dependent module /opt/IBM/ldap/V6.3/lib/libldap.a(libldap-2.4.so.2) could not be loaded.
File /opt/IBM/ldap/V6.3/lib/libldap.a is not an

The rpms are not from AIX Toolbox. ( rpm -qi php_64-fpm will show the source )
Check the dynamic linkings of php-fpm binary . ( dump -X64 -Hov /opt/freeware/sbin/php-fpm )

From the error, it looks like it needs to link to openldap library but linking to IBM ldap.
Also check you have LIBPATH exported.

Hello Ayappan

Thanks for your fast reply, Iam not familiar in this.

As you said it is linked to ibmldap I guess. How to link to openldap lib?

LIBPATH having "/opt/IBM/ldap/V6.3/lib" is the problem.
Having a system wide LIBPATH like this is not a good idea. 

Openldap & IBM ldap has the same library name "libldap.a" but they are not compatible libraries. Because of the above LIBPATH, php-fpm is linking to IBM ldap provided libldap.a which is a shared object (& not an archive) but php-fpm is built against openldap "libldap.a" which is an archive having "libldap-2.4.so.2", available at /opt/freeware/lib.

The rpms are not from AIX Toolbox. ( rpm -qi php_64-fpm will show the source )
Check the dynamic linkings of php-fpm binary . ( dump -X64 -Hov /opt/freeware/sbin/php-fpm )

From the error, it looks like it needs to link to openldap library but linking to IBM ldap.
Also check you have LIBPATH exported.

You have the rpm installed but the file is removed somehow.
So you need to reinstall the rpm.

You need to make sure openldap is installed for the php-fpm to work.

LIBPATH having "/opt/IBM/ldap/V6.3/lib" is the problem.
Having a system wide LIBPATH like this is not a good idea. 

Openldap & IBM ldap has the same library name "libldap.a" but they are not compatible libraries. Because of the above LIBPATH, php-fpm is linking to IBM ldap provided libldap.a which is a shared object (& not an archive) but php-fpm is built against openldap "libldap.a" which is an archive having "libldap-2.4.so.2", available at /opt/freeware/lib.

Hello Ayappan

Thanks for your fast reply, Iam not familiar in this.
Libpath is this
root:/home/root:] echo $LIBPATH
/opt/IBM/ldap/V6.3/lib:/usr/lib:$LIBPATH

As you said it is linked to ibmldap I guess. How to link to openldap lib?
