imagick php-ffmpeg gd install problem -does not show in phpinfo page Please Help!

[BigBigBoss]

Please can someone help as I'm stuck and can't seem to find a solution
I installed image magic through /scripts/installimagemagic
and installed php-ffmpeg like below and added extension=ffmpeg.so in php.ini file which is located at /usr/local/lib/php.ini

# mkdir /usr/local/src
# cd /usr/local/src
# wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ffmpeg-php/ffmpeg-php/0.6.0/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2
# tar jxf ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2
# cd ffmpeg-php-0.6.0
# perl -i -p -e "s/PIX_FMT_RGBA32/PIX_FMT_RGBA/g;" ffmpeg_frame.c
# phpize
# ./configure && make clean && make && make install

Installation goes fine without errors but cannot see them in phpinfo page if I do php -i | grep ffmpeg I get this

[/]# php -i | grep ffmpeg
ffmpeg
ffmpeg-php version => 0.6.0-svn
ffmpeg-php built on => Mar 16 2011 21:04:49
ffmpeg-php gd support  => enabled
ffmpeg libavcodec version => Lavc52.72.2
ffmpeg libavformat version => Lavf52.64.2
ffmpeg swscaler version => SwS0.11.0
ffmpeg.allow_persistent => 0 => 0
ffmpeg.show_warnings => 0 => 0

And if i do php -i | grep imagick I get this

[/]# php -i | grep imagick
imagick
imagick module => enabled
imagick module version => 3.0.1
imagick classes => Imagick, ImagickDraw, ImagickPixel, ImagickPixelIterator
imagick.locale_fix => 0 => 0
imagick.progress_monitor => 0 => 0

and php -m gives this

[/]# php -m

[Zend Modules]
eAccelerator
the ionCube PHP Loader

But they don't show up in phpinfo page which is loaded through the browser.

I tried changing php versions from Easy apache but no luck. I tried php 5.2.9, 5.2.17 and now I'm at php 5.3.5.
I even tried to build php without gd from easy apache and than tried to install gd through /scripts/installgd I come to the same problem gd does not show in php info page unless I install it through EasyApache from the beginig.

All the installation for ffmpeg, lame etc goes fine the only problem is that you can't seem to see php extensions in the phpinfo page.

Please can someone guide me I'm totally stuck here. I googled but could not find a solution. I almost tried everything I could find on the net. It is something to do with the way easyapche builds php. I don't know how to hard code these exensions into php when php compiles through easyapache or what other way to use to install these.

Easyapache and other php modules is not a problem here. Are you sure there is only one PHP version on your server and the URL you are browsing is using the PHP version that you see via the command prompt?

[BigBigBoss]

I think so becuase it changes everytime I recompile it with easyapache here is the version info from command

[~]# php -v

And here is copy paste from phpinfo page

It seems same the same to me

Hello,

If you are using CGI as the handler the ffmpeg won't appear in phpinfo.

Thanks.

[BigBigBoss]

I'm using suphp I guess because thats what Easyapache recomends. Should I disable cgi and re compile php?

Copy paste from WHM >>Main >> Service Configuration >> Configure PHP and SuExec

Current Configuration

Option Configured Value
Default PHP Version (.php files) 5
PHP 5 Handler suphp
PHP 4 Handler none

Apache suEXEC on

It looks like it is the same here is copy paste from phpinfo page

It seems the same as it changes as I recompile to different version from easyapache

[LinuxTechie]

Hey!

I don't thinks you need to recompile php.
Now need to check whether the extension is added correctly.
Can you check the the apache log for errors?

tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log

Also make sure the browser cache isn't causing these confusions.

It is not cash as I cleared the cash plus it changes when I recompile from Easyapache to different version of php
Here is the apache error log. I restarted apache and got this

I replied earlier to madaboutlinux but the post went to moderator and has not showed up and the later one showed up strange..

[BigBigBoss]

I see on error and noticed that apache is giving this error
[error] (9)Bad file descriptor: apr_socket_accept: (client socket)

Plus I noticed now that apache is doing a graceful restart by itself
[notice] Graceful restart requested, doing restart

I never did a restart and it shows that it restarted.

[madaboutlinux]

First of all, there is no need to execute easyapache unless you are looking to change the PHP version. If php -i | grep ffmpeg is showing the correct output there is nothing to worry, ffmpeg should work as expected. BTW, was it showing before on the phpinfo page OR it never worked that at all?

[BigBigBoss]

It never showed on phpinfo page. so it is not important that phpinfo page shows it. if it's showing at terminal it should work fine?

[BigBigBoss]

I re compiled apache & PHP and was looking at the logs to see for errors. Now it started to do a Graceful restart again and the same error showed up

[Thu Mar 17 09:07:07 2011] [notice] Graceful restart requested, doing restart

[BigBigBoss]

The culprit here is SuPHP. If we change the handler to DSO, all extension show up in phpinfo page and when SuPHP is the handler they don't.

Thank you cPtechie & madaboutlinux for helping me out.

Hey !

It is good to hear that issue is resolved. You are entirely welcome.
