Re: [PLUG] Trying to config xhprof on gridserver

[Paul Walker <starsinmypockets@gmail.com>]

Well, I got the extension installed. Mediatemple actually had a doc outlining how to install xhprof .. Now my problem is that the UI won't show up. I stuck the xhprof_html folder in the root directory of the site I'm working on, but when I load it in the browser, it just gives me a white screen... no errors in the php log... hmph.

Hey my name is Paul. This is my first post to the PLUG list. I'm a Drupal/PHP developer who is also learning the linux environment (Debian and Darwin) and basic server admin. I'm currently trying to install the xhprof (PECL) onto my Mediatemple gridserver. I'm having a bit of a time of it since write restrictions won't allow the PECL installer to work. I've done the following:

mkdir /home/#####/data/lib/xhprof-0.9.2
wget http://pecl.php.net/get/xhprof-0.9.2.tgz
uncompress into /home/#####/data/lib/xhprof-0.9.2
cd ./xhprof-0.9.2/extension/
phpize
./configure  (see below)
make
make install
make test
(make test returns 8 successful tests - 0 failures.)
mkdir /var/tmp/xhprof

then I'm adding the following to my php.ini (at /home/#####/etc):

[xhprof]
extension=xhprof.so
xhprof.output_dir="/var/tmp/xhprof"

At this point, xhprof still doesn't work (ie - a call to xhprof_enable() returns a fatal error - undefined function)

Also, the php.ini parsed by phpinfo() is read only on my server. The above php.ini file (created accdording to the mediatemple's docs) seems to not be being parsed by the server.

Other specs:

PHP Version 5.2.14

Apache/2.0.54

My questiosn:

What is the proper php-config path?

How do I tell php to parse my additional php.ini file?

Am I doing anything else wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help..
