cp: cannot stat `shtool': No such file or directory

Question

on my web server, I need to use ssh2. I've tried to install libssh2-1, libssh2-1-dev and libssh2-php, and after to restart Apache2 nothing change, I've the same error when I whant to use the ssh2_connect function.

In order to resolve my problem, I've tried to install ssh2 with PECL (from this tutorial: http://lindev.fr/?post/2009/01/19/Installer-le-module-SSH2-pour-php) , but when I launch this commande:

phpize && ./configure --with-ssh2 && make

I've got this error:

PHP Api Version: 20090626 Zend Module Api No: 20090626 Zend Extension Api No: 220090626 cp: cannot stat shtool': No such file or directory chmod: cannot access/usr/local/src/ssh2-0.11.0/build/shtool': No such file or directory shtool at '/usr/local/src/ssh2-0.11.0/build/shtool' does not exist or is not executable. Make sure that the file exists and is executable and then rerun this script.

For information, I use PHP5.3. How to fix my problem ?

Answer 1

My recommendation: use phpseclib, a pure PHP SSH2 implementation. If you need the libssh2 functions to support legacy code that uses them you can use this:

https://github.com/phpseclib/libssh2-compatibility-layer

That'll emulate the libssh2 functions with phpseclib.
