To enable the connection to DB2 on Linux, we must perform the following steps:

Prerequisites

Step 1  -  Add the i386 architecture and install the packages below :

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| UBUNTU\DEBIAN | CENTOS\RHEL |
| - sudo dpkg —add-architecture i386 
- sudo apt-get update
 - sudo apt-get install libaio1:i386 - sudo apt-get install libncurses5:i386 - sudo apt-get install alien
 - sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib g++-multilib 
- sudo apt-get install libpam0g:i386
 - sudo apt-get install ksh:i386 - sudo apt-get install unixodbc-dev:i386 unixodbc:i386 | - sudo yum update - sudo yum install libaio-devel.i686 - sudo yum install libaio.i686 - sudo yum install glibc.i686 - sudo yum install compat-libstdc++-33.i686 - sudo yum install glibc-devel.i686 - sudo yum install libstdc++.i686 - sudo yum install libstdc++.i686 - sudo yum install pam.i686 - sudo yum install ncurses-devel.i686 - sudo yum install unixODBC.i686 - sudo wget ftp://195.220.108.108/linux/centos/6.7/os/i386/Packages/ksh-20120801-28.el6.i686.rpm - sudo yum install ksh-20120801-28.el6.i686.rpm - sudo yum install nano |

Step 2 - Download DB2 DSDriver : 
  
  
 [DSDriver DB2 v10.5fp5\_linuxia32](http://cdn1.netmake.com.br/download/Conexao/DB2/Linux/v10.5fp5_linuxia32_dsdriver.tar.gz)

Step 3 - Download PHP extension : 
  
  
[PHP 5.6](http://cdn1.netmake.com.br/download/Conexao/php_ext/php56/ibm_db2.so)  
[PHP 5.4](http://cdn1.netmake.com.br/download/Conexao/php_ext/php54/ibm_db2.so)

Step 4 - Copy the extension to the folder ext scriptcase :  
- sudo cp ibm\_db2.so /opt/NetMake/v81/components/apache/ext/

Step 5 - Edit and add on the end of php.ini file the db2 extension :
  
- sudo nano /opt/NetMake/v81/components/apache/conf/php.ini  
- extension=ibm\_db2.so

Step 6 - Install the DB2 DSDriver :  
- sudo mkdir /opt/IBM  
- sudo mkdir /opt/IBM/Db2/  
- sudo cp v10.5fp5\_linuxia32\_dsdriver.tar.gz /opt/IBM/Db2  
- sudo cd /opt/IBM/Db2/  
- sudo tar -zxf v10.5fp5\_linuxia32\_dsdriver.tar.gz  

- sudo cd dsdriver  
- sudo ksh installDSDriver

Step 7 - Restart apache :  
- sudo /etc/init.d/apachesc81 restart
