Installing PHP driver for Cassandra - php

Question

I create server on linode and installed Ubuntu 15.10 and in my console, enter command for install php
apt-get update
apt-get install -y php5
sudo apt-get install php5-dev
Then, I Installed software: boost, openssl, libtool и cmake
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
sudo apt-get install openssl
apt-get install cmake
sudo apt-get install automake libtool curl
curl -sSL https://github.com/libuv/libuv/archive/v1.4.2.tar.gz | sudo tar zxfv - -C /usr/local/src
cd /usr/local/src/libuv-1.4.2
sudo sh autogen.sh
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/src/libuv-1.4.2 && cd ~/
sudo ldconfig
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
And then, I installed cassnadra use datastax documentation
echo "deb http://debian.datastax.com/community stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cassandra.sources.list
curl -L http://debian.datastax.com/debian/repo_key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dsc20=2.0.11-1 cassandra=2.0.11
I checked cassnadra
sudo service cassandra status
and i get it:
● cassandra.service - LSB: distributed storage system for structured data

I check the status of the cluster and cqlsh:
sudo nodetool status
and get:
Datacenter: datacenter1

and:
Connected to Test Cluster at localhost:9160.
[cqlsh 4.1.1 | Cassandra 2.0.11 | CQL spec 3.1.1 | Thrift protocol 19.39.0]
Use HELP for help.
Everything is working! finally I try install PHP Driver for Cassandra use this:
git clone https://github.com/datastax/cpp-driver.git
cd cpp-driver
cmake . && make && make install
ln -s libcql.so.0.7.0 /usr/lib/libcql.so.0
ln -s /usr/lib/libcql.so.0 /usr/lib/libcql.so
git clone https://github.com/aparkhomenko/php-cassandra.git
cd php-cassandra
phpize && ./configure && make
But I get Error
checking for specified location of CQL library... yes, shared
checking for CQL in default path... not found
configure: error: Please reinstall the cassandra distribution
Where is my mistake?

I think that the problem is that you are installing the Cassandra's driver for C/C++:
git clone https://github.com/datastax/cpp-driver.git
Instead, you have to use the PHP one:
git clone https://github.com/datastax/php-driver.git
cd php-driver
git submodule update --init
cd ext
./install.sh
Then, add the extension in the php.ini.
For apache2:
echo -e "; DataStax PHP Driver\nextension=cassandra.so" >> /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
echo -e "; DataStax PHP Driver\nextension=cassandra.so" >> /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload
Everything you did prior to that was ok.
