php execution Permission denied

[tutunmayan]

Hi

I created a php socket server similar to http://djz.hu/2007/07/26/php-socket-server-chat-gateway-for-flash-clients/

first line is #!/usr/bin/php -q in the example
(I guess this tells to linux where is php located)

But in my ubuntu there is no location like /usr/bin/php

Typing whereis php5 I get this result:

php5: /etc/php5 /usr/lib/php5 /usr/lib64/php5 /usr/share/php5

i tried these four location as first line (for exapmle: #!/etc/php5 -q) but all returns the same error:
-bash: /var/www/chat/socketShell.php: /usr/share/php5: bad interpreter: Permission denied

my php file is executable


What is the problem I cant figure out.
Please help


My Ubunutu is
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=intrepid
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.10"


I searched php location and it returns this:

sudo apt-get install php5-cli

Judging by your /var/cache/apt file list you don't have php5-cli package installed which is needed for the command line interpreter. The command line interperter is usually installed at /usr/bin. So I expect that you need to install using sudo apt-get install php5-cli
