to install the PECL uploadprogress library

[lisssina]

In the page of report of my drupal site, the upload progress module gives me an error. The error is the following:

"Upload progress Not trained
Your server is capable of displaying file upload progress, but does not have the required libraries. It is recommended to install the PECL uploadprogress library (prefered) or to install APC."

I have tried to install the PECL uploadprogress library, but I have not succeeded there. There is someone who is able to point out whether to find the instructions for a correct installation of such bookstores. On my server Ubuntu 8.10 turns.

Install the PHP developer package for the version of PHP you're using. For example, in case of php5 run:
$ sudo apt-get install php5-dev

Install the PECL uploadprogress library:
$ sudo pecl install uploadprogress

Open php.ini :
$ sudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
Add the line "extension=uploadprogress.so" to php.ini

Restart apache:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

I also needed php-pear, so my command was:

sudo apt-get install php5-dev php-pear

Otherwise the

sudo pecl install uploadprogress

didn't work for me...

this was really useful. Sorry for the bump.. i wanted really badly to say

THANKS

Just to add: the Debian (and therefore Ubuntu) way to add the module to php is to add a file like /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/uploadprogress.ini containing extension=uploadprogress.so which will be picked up by php.ini. This means that php can be upgraded without having to re-edit the default php.ini file.

Thanks zargh and clarkburbidge, those instructions worked a charm. Just to add that when I installed uploadprogress, at the end I got this:
"configuration option "php_ini" is not set to php.ini location"
But everything still worked anyway... is this anything to be worried about?

Cheers

Thanks all

Note: Upgrade to Lucid broke this. The fix was to re-install uploadprogress with pecl i.e.

sudo pecl uninstall uploadprogress
sudo pecl install uploadprogress

Then re-add the line in php.ini if it was removed, and restart apache.

Right you are and also just to mention it, the "right" way to add it also works for suphp and possibly for other variants without any further adding in other files.

In my case, I had to put uploadprogress.so in

/opt/lampp/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/

and edited php.ini in

/opt/lampp/etc/

Then

/opt/lampp/lampp restart

That's all.
