Cerberus Help Desk 4 Installation

[HodgeHi]

Hello,

 

I am trying to install Cerberus helpdesk 4 on os x client 10.4.11.

 

I have downloaded and installed Entropy's PHP 5.2.4 package to install PHP and i have downloaded MySQL version 5.x for the DB backend.

 

When it comes to installing Cerebrus you run a pre-install script and it comes up with:

 

"Error! PHP must have the 'MailParse' extension enabled."

 

I have enabled the mbstring.dll and it shows as enabled in phpinfo but yet the error still remains. Apparently there is an issue with compiling the mailparse but i am not sure if this issue still exists as i couldn't understand a word of it. All i know is it don't seem to work . Anyone have a complied mailparse for OS X intel that i could try? or a workaround i can understand?

 

Failing that, is there a way i can download the mailparse and install (similar to apt-get) for OS X. I know that there is fink.

 

I haven't looked there yet though.

 

Thanks for any light you can shed on this one.

The dlls are only for windows. You would need a compiled module I believe.

 

If you value your sanity you should abandon using os x for php/mysql immediately and just use a ubuntu 6.06 lts box.

I do value my sanity and would love to go down the road you mention. Unfortunately i have no more space to put another box, have no more boxes anyway and am using a Mac-mini to provide the service which is also hosting our shared itunes library as well as our software library server.

 

I have managed to get cerberus installed before but i think it was a previous version. May go back to that one. I have tried renaming the extension to .so as per the php.ini instructions. As i say the extension is recognized in the phpinfo (mbstring enabled it says) but the mailparse is still not recognised as running.
