Installing PHP extensions

croy

I'm exploring the use of Indigo instead of MAMP Pro and my project requires ChartDirector. I have tried to install it in the stack that I created. I get the following error:
26-Jul-2022 21:48:45 UTC] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'phpchartdir810.dll' .../phpchartdir810.dll' (code signature in <05D655A1-F3E7-3069-A59D-335552E13D52>; ...not valid for use in process: mapped file has no cdhash, completely unsigned? Code has to be at least ad-hoc signed.)) ...

I have tried to sign it with my developer ID or ad-hoc. After I sign it I get the following error message:

... (code signature in <05D655A1-F3E7-3069-A59D-335552E13D52> .. not valid for use in process: mapping process and mapped file (non-platform) have different Team IDs)

Is there a way to resolve this?

Thank you,

Hi @croy, apologies for my slow response! I overlooked your message till now. A couple of questions:

when you refer to MAMP PRO, have you been using the Mac, or the Windows version?
do you have a copy of ChartDirector compiled and working inside MAMP PRO?

Could you outline briefly the steps you've taken to install ChartDirector into your Indigo stack? A few thoughts which may help you, depending how far you got:

you can right-click your PHP service in the stack and select "Show compiled in Finder...". Then navigate to /etc/conf.d where you will find the php.ini additions which enable the extensions Indigo's PHP services ship with.
I imagine you would enable the ChartDirector extension in a similar manner to the shipped extensions, ie by configuring a my-extension.ini file to appear in this directory. You will do this not by placing it in the directory yourself (that would be overwritten each time the stack is started), but by placing it in your stack definition file. See https://indigostack.app/docs/how-to/advanced-configuration/

Let me know how you get on!

Indigo I use MAMP PRO for the MAC.
In MAMP I copied the ChartDirector files to the extensions directory and configured the php.ini file to load them.
I have tried the same in indigo, these are the steps I tried.

I found the directory for my stack by right clicking on the stack. (ie. ~/.indigo/stacks/8FA787/php_930E/lib/php/20210902/)
I copied the ChartDirector files to the to the above directory.
I then add "extension=phpchartdir810.dll" the the php.ini file using the Configuration overrides on the stack. BTW this is the same command I use for all my PHP environments. (MAMP, RedHat)

When I start the stack the following message is output to the log file. This is the message when using the files that were downloaded from ChartDir. It finds the file it just can't load it.

I have also tried to add Indigo to the System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Developer Tools list.

Thanks for your help. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi David, thanks for the really clear additional details. I have replicated the problem in Indigo, and have also got it working very easily in MAMP, which obviously I am miffed about 🤪

As an aside, instead of signing the binaries (phpchartdirXXX.dll and libchartdir.so) I removed quarantine:

sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine phpchartdirXXX.dll
sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine libchartdir.so

Seemed to work fine that way in MAMP, and avoids the many and varied potential issues with signing.

While I continue digging into this, can I ask a quick question — are you on an Apple Silicon Mac?

croy

Indigo I'm using an Apple Silicon Mac.

Indigo

OK, so I got it working with Indigo; I had to both sign it AND remove quarantine. I couldn't say for certain whether I also did that in my MAMP experiment or not, sorry.

sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine phpchartdirXXX.dll
sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine libchartdir.so

codesign --force --options runtime --sign 'Apple Development: My Name (T2BRKKC59U)' libchartdir.so
codesign --force --options runtime --sign 'Apple Development: My Name (T2BRKKC59U)' phpchartdirXXX.dll

Once you have those two files prepared, you should place them somewhere where they won't get lost when you rebuild your stack. I would suggest inside your stack's .stackconfig bundle; this way Indigo will copy them in whenever it prepares to start the stack, just like it will do with your .ini file.

Let me know if it works for you! (or if any of the above is too obtuse 🙂 )

Thank for looking into this issue. The issue I'm having is that when I sign the app it's a different Team ID then the indigo app. That is probably why it worked for you.

The interesting thing is when I use MAMP I don't have to sign the chartdir files.

Ah, of course — tomorrow I'll try signing it ad-hoc and see if it results in the same error as you have. I suspect it will, at which point I am running out of ideas 🙁 Apple's code signing can be a real pain. As to why it works in MAMP unsigned, I have absolutely no ideas 🙁

Regardless, in case it helps I'm happy to sign the binaries with the same credentials as Indigo and attach them here, which will get you going, but isn't exactly a long-term solution I guess.

Indigo

I've emailed you the signed binaries. Hoping they might work!

I’d love to get to the bottom of why MAMP doesn’t need these signed though, so any further ideas gratefully accepted!
