Below steps are for Centos 7

yum -y install epel-release

rpm –import http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/RPM-GPG-KEY-nux.ro

rpm -Uvh  http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el7/x86_64/nux-dextop-release0-5.el7.nux.noarch.rpm

yum -y install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel

Below steps are for Centos 6

yum -y install epel-release

rpm –import http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/RPM-GPG-KEY-nux.ro

wget https://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el6/x86_64/nux-dextop-release-0-1.el6.nux.noarch.rpm

rpm ivh  nux-dextop-release-0-1.el6.nux.noarch.rpm

yum -y install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel

now we need to install ffmpeg-php to get it working using PHP

yum -y install git
git clone https://github.com/tony2001/ffmpeg-php.git

[Usually before easyapache 4 only phpize would work] now as there are multiple version of PHP there is need to  phpize from above path.

The path would changes based on php version

if you are using PHP 7 path will be /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/usr/bin/phpize and

/opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/usr/bin/php-config

You can find path using find command

[root@server ffmpeg-php]# find / -iname phpize
/opt/cpanel/ea-php55/root/usr/bin/phpize

/opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/usr/bin/phpize

/opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/usr/bin/phpize

Do not use path ./usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/phpize

Before compiling ffmpegphp

need to make sure all need files are in   /usr/include

When you install ffmpeg and ffmpeg-devel files get stored in  /usr/include/ffmpeg however ffmpeg while compiling looks for files in /usr/include/ so need to copy files to /usr/include using below command

scp -r /usr/include/ffmpeg/* /usr/include/

Now you can go ahead and compile

./configure –with-php-config=/opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/usr/bin/php-config

Note [Path /opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/usr/bin/php-config will changed on which version you are installing ffmpeg]

[root@server ffmpeg-php]# find / -iname php-config

/opt/cpanel/ea-php55/root/usr/bin/php-config
/opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/usr/bin/php-config
/opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/usr/bin/php-config

now before making make and make install few things need to be modified.

mv /usr/include/libavutil/time.h /usr/include/libavutil/time.h_

now go ahead with make and make install

now   again need to rename the above file

mv  /usr/include/libavutil/time.h_    /usr/include/libavutil/time.h

ffmpeg modules will be installed in below path

root@server ffmpeg-php]# ls -al /opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/usr/lib64/php/modules/
total 2712
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 7 07:07 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 22 2017 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 32608 Feb 22 2017 bcmath.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 33792 Feb 22 2017 calendar.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15584 Feb 22 2017 ctype.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 86928 Feb 22 2017 curl.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 180728 Feb 22 2017 dom.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 281640 Dec 7 07:07 ffmpeg.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 57792 Feb 22 2017 ftp.so

Now go ahead and add extension=ffmpeg.so to php.ini for the PHP version you need and restart apache

Normal rule in .htaccess to parse html files as php on easyapache 3 are not working on easyapache 4

#AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html

#<FilesMatch “\.(htm|html|php)$”>
#SetHandler application/x-httpd-php56
#</FilesMatch>

Below is the code which will need to be added In cpanel, multiphp manager will add the following for force a specific
version of php:

# php — BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# Set the “ea-php54” package as the default “PHP” programming language.

AddType application/x-httpd-ea-php54 .php .php5 .phtml

# php — END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

Make sure the AddType and the selected php version matches! So there we go, simple when you know how.

I was getting error “Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again”

After googleing around I found this issue is due to https mentioned in the .repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d

[root@host yum.repos.d]# ls -la
total 28
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Oct 28 05:15 .
drwxr-xr-x. 80 root root 4096 Oct 28 05:16 ..

-rw-r–r–. 1 root root 1056 Nov 4 2012 epel-testing.repo
-rw-r–r–. 1 root root 966 Jul 4 2015 webtatic-archive.repo
-rw-r–r–. 1 root root 862 Oct 28 05:15 webtatic.repo
-rw-r–r–. 1 root root 966 Jul 4 2015 webtatic-testing.repo

I checked in all files with .repo extension and  an replaced all https with http and  all repository started working fine

Solution:

libMagickWand.so.2: cannot open shared object file

The error log were filled by such errors

reinstalling imagemagick  using command  /scripts/installimagemagick  didnt work as error were still persisting .

So renamed the php,ini file

mv /usr/local/lib/php.ini /usr/local/lib/php.ini-old

Now to regenerate the new php.ini file I had to use command

/scripts/phpini

A new PHP.ini was create with default entries like a newly set server.

Modified the PHP.ini to customize it  as needed

Then had to finish it by rebuilding apache and php using easyapache

/scripts/easyapache

Now all sites work fine without any error

On checking logs on /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log we could see below error

root@hosonline  [~]# tail -n 10 /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log

The issue was diagnosed to missing libraries

We resolved the issue using below command by upgrading PHPmyadmin

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/updatephpmyadmin –force

Now PHPmyadmin works like Charm

SSH to server as root user and run below script

root@online  [~]# /scripts/installzendopt

Now restart apache using below command to complete the process

root@hostonline [~]# service httpd restart

“An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org”  The solution for this issue is to check file wp-config.php

While troubleshooting issue I see the error was in wp-config.php

I commented out below settings to fix this issue

/** EXAMPLE – proxy settings */
#define(‘WP_PROXY_HOST’, ‘proxy.url.com’);
#define(‘WP_PROXY_PORT’, ‘1234’);
#define(‘WP_PROXY_USERNAME’, ”);
#define(‘WP_PROXY_PASSWORD’, ”);
#define(‘WP_PROXY_BYPASS_HOSTS’, ‘localhost’);

This issue got fixed once I commented the above settings.

1)   Login to server via SSH

2) scp /usr/local/lib/php.ini  /home/cpanelusername/public_html/

3)   vi /home/cpanelusername/public_html/.htaccess

Add below code

suPHP_ConfigPath /home/pankaj12/public_html
<Files php.ini>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

Once done custom php.ini should be available for all accounts
