Phalcon Compilation and Installation on Ubuntu 14.04

Reference: https://phalconphp.com/en/download
How To Install Phalcon PHP Framework on Ubuntu 14.10, 14.04 & 12.04
Phalcon is a C extension, so you need to download a binary for your platform or compile it from source code (SO INSTALL THE BINARY OR COMPILE! CHOOSE ONLY OF THEM!).
Installation on Ubuntu 14.04:

Install the binary (the easiest way but it don’t mean it’d be working!)

Install the package

SO the installation is failed! I got the above error. May be because Ubuntu 14.04 has not been supported yet (https://forum.phalconphp.com/discussion/6217/ubuntu-cant-install-phalcon). SO IT’S TIME TO COMPILE THE SOURCE!
But before installing the source, we need some required packages. Check those packages if they haven’t been installed in your machine. My ubuntu 14.04 already has ‘python-software-properties’, ‘software-properties-common’, ‘php5-dev’, ‘php5-mysql’, ‘gcc’ and ‘libpcre3-dev’. So now I just need to compile the phalcon source code:

1. Clone the phalcon code

2. Go into the ‘cphalcon/build’ directory
   
   teddy@teddy-K43SJ:~/Documents/cpp$ cd cphalcon/build/

   1	teddy@teddy-K43SJ:~/Documents/cpp$ cd cphalcon/build/

   
    
3. then install

   OK. It takes a while to install it. It recommended to install apache web server.
4. Then Create phalcon.ini file in /etc/php/5.6/mods-available/ directory (because I use php 5.6)
   
   teddy@teddy-K43SJ:~/Documents/cpp/cphalcon/build$ sudo gedit /etc/php/5.6/mods-available/phalcon.ini

   1	teddy@teddy-K43SJ:~/Documents/cpp/cphalcon/build$ sudo gedit /etc/php/5.6/mods-available/phalcon.ini

   
   Then type ‘extension=phalcon.so’ (WITHOUT QUOTE!)
   That mean we can use ‘phalcon’ in PHP 5.6 ONLY! TO enable the mod in the others php version, we can use the same method!
   No need to use command ‘sudo phpenmod phalcon’ anymore!
   NOTE: Somehow I can’t use this command instead of the above
   
   teddy@teddy-K43SJ:~/Documents/cpp/cphalcon/build$ sudo echo "extension=phalcon.so" >> /etc/php/5.6/mods-available/phalcon.ini bash: /etc/php/5.6/mods-available/phalcon.ini: Permission denied

   I also tried to write the extension directly in ‘/etc/php/5.6/apache2/php.ini’ but apache showed error when trying to restart it!
5. Then restart the apache web server
   
   teddy@teddy-K43SJ:~/Documents/cpp/cphalcon/build$ sudo service apache2 restart * Restarting Apache httpd web server apache2 AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1.
