Compile Apache / PHP

[RobertMidd]

I have recently moved from CPanel to Plesk 8.3 and I am still finding my way around.

In CPanel I could use the WHM interface to recompile Apache/PHP in a GUI mode but I cannot find an option in Plesk for this.

Is there a way to do this with Plesk or do I have to do this manually via SSH ?

Thanks in advance

Robert.

You dont need to do it in plesk, since it uses the vendors packages. What distro are you on?

[RobertMidd]

Can you explain what you mean and what the difference is ... I do not fully understand.

My server is using CENTOS 5 (64 Bit) and I want to recompile PHP to use some other modules which I have only ever done in WHM by recompiling apache and selecting the PHP modules I want.

Thanks.

[atomicturtle]

The OS vendors generally already do all this, depending on the module of course. Basically Cpanel has been duplicating effort.

Which module(s) did you need? Heres the list of what is available for php on CentOS 5 by default:
php
php-bcmath
php-cli
php-common
php-dba
php-devel
php-gd
php-imap
php-ldap
php-mbstring
php-mysql
php-ncurses
php-odbc
php-pdo
php-pear
php-pgsql
php-snmp
php-soap
php-xml
php-xmlrpc

There are additional modules like php-mcrypt, php-mhash, php-ioncube-loader, php-zend-optimizer, php-eaccelerator, php-suhosin, and others available additional yum channels.

I need PHP modules for GD2 with FreeType support + some other option, IonCube & OpenSSL

How do I install these ... with up2date or yum install ?

I have never installed using either of these.

[atomicturtle]

You use yum. OpenSSL is already there by default, for the others youd use:

yum install php-gd

ioncube is in my archive, which you would activate with:

wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic |sh

and run:

yum install php-ioncube-loader

You might also want to check out the web interface for yum we've been working on, which you can install with:

yum install atomic-yum

[RobertMidd]

I will give it a go.

Thanks for your assistance.

I tried the install automatic-yum but got the following error

Error: Missing Dependency: yum-repolist is needed by package atomic-yum

How do I fix ?

[unika]

It was already discussed - firstly, check the following:

http://forum.swsoft.com/showthread.php?p=198049#post198049

[RobertMidd]

Considering that I only tried the install for the first time yesterday then that thread does not help.

Nevertheless I did what was suggested and I have the same problem.

Anyone ?

[atomicturtle]

What distro are you on?

[RobertMidd]

I am on CentOS5 (64 Bit).

[atomicturtle]

Ah, are you on a VPS? yum-repolist is in the base channel on centos, so it should always be available unless someone has broken yum on your system.

[RobertMidd]

No it is a dedicated server which has just been installed and should therefore not be a broken system.

How do I get this to work ?

[atomicturtle]

what happens when you try to update with yum?

[RobertMidd]

I have since done yum updates and they all have worked ok.

The only problem I get is when I try yum install atomic-yum and then I get Error: Missing Dependency: yum-repolist is needed by package atomic-yum.

[atomicturtle]

yum-repolist.noarch 1.0.4-3.el5.centos.2 base


Yum repolist is part of the base channel for CentOS 5. That makes me think that someone has tried to be "helpful" and meddled with your yum configuration. What does /etc/yum.conf and /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo look like?

[donkle]

Sorry to HiJack this thread,

I tried yum update on my system (centos 5) and it comes back with command not found.

I also noticed that /etc/yum.conf does not exist

Any help would be appreicated!

[atomicturtle]

Run this:

wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic |sh

That should fix yum for you.

[donkle]

wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic |sh

Atomic Archive installer, version 0.10.1
Configuring the [atomic] yum archive for this system

Installing the Atomic GPG key: OK
Yum was not detected. Attempting to resolve..

No joy I am afraid! Thanks for the suggestion

[atomicturtle]

What was the rest of the output?

[donkle]

That was the sum total of the output, I was returned to the prompt right after. :(

[atomicturtle]

Run it like this then:
wget -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic |sh
