Install ffmpeg-php

[kennethmaze]

Hello,

Im running CloudLinux Server release 6.7 on CentOS with cPanel and I would like to install ffmpeg-php but it tells me that I need php-gd even if it is already installed and working.

root@rossiman [~]# yum install ffmpeg-php

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, rhnplugin

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

root@rossiman [~]#php -m

Do I need to install alt-php55-gd? If so, would this give issues with my current GD install? And, on PHP upgrade via cPanel, would any of those installs needs to be upgraded manually?

Also, as far I can see, I would also need to install alt-php55-common. Please advice.

Thank you in advance

Hi,

But you are trying to install ffmpeg-php for
ative PHP but not alternate, if so it requires php-gd for native and also native php-common .

If you want to provide ffmeg from PHP-Selector then those packages should be installed already, I mean alt-php55-ffmpeg . But also we do not provide ffmpeg package itself due to commercial license, you would need to install it from some external repos then add to cagefs:

cagefsctl --addrpm ffmpeg

cagefsctl --force-update

Hi Bogdan, thank you for your reply.

Ive followed your advice and installed ffmpeg from an external repo and successfully created a video from still images (this is what the projects needs).

As you correctly say alt-php55-ffmpeg is already installed.
Updated cagefsctl as per your instructions (could see ffmpeg, ffplay etc. being copied inside the cagefs-skeleton).
Manually edited /usr/local/lib/php.ini to add ffmpeg.so extension.
Restarted apache ... but it still doesn show up under php -i, php -m and not even in the extension lists in EasyApache.

Am I missing something?

Thanks
Marco

Marco, please understand the difference between native (cpanels) php and alternate php.

When you run php -i as root, or easyapache you build all for native cpanels php. That set of php versions/modules/settings will work if someone leave
ative php in PHP-Selector .

However if user choose any of alternate PHP from our php-selector the alternate php versions/modules/settings are activated, they are absolutely not related to native php or modules from easyapache. No matter what is compiled with easyapache, alt-php works on its own.

If the goal is to provide ffmpeg support for customers - you just did that with alt-php. From WHM > CloudLinux LVE Manager > Selector menu you may choose a default PHP version to be used for newly created accounts, so they will get alt-php with ffmpeg on their signup stage.
