php won't rebuild??

[Epox]

I'm over here trying to rebuild php with GD in WHM, I go through the entire motion of Apache Update (with GD selected as a PHP Module) and ummmm... after it's done, I check my phpinfo() and there is no GD section, let alone has the build date been changed.

i also tried /scripts/easyapache with option #5

???

Why not try forcing a cPanel update then update Apache from WHM?

I have CURRENT running and just rebuilt Apache yesterday, with GD. Worked fine here.

Why not try forcing a cPanel update then update Apache from WHM?

I have CURRENT running and just rebuilt Apache yesterday, with GD. Worked fine here.

Today I tried upgrading cpanel/WHM upto CURRENT, then STABLE, THEN RELEASE, THEN EDGE, after each time I attempted to build apache with php+gd and all that good stuff, and throughout the mits of it all I got php to rebuild 1 time but that time I forgot to check the GD box aparently I guess becuase my php build date had been updated but GD was not on the info page.

Right now I'm running the latest Stable and i don't think changing the relase will help anything as ive tried all the way up the EDGE release(s).

I need my GD and Im not sure what to do

Dear Epox,

first try option 1 and after that try option 5 or 7 if you need other modules.

Screw WHM and easy Apache, just compile PHP manually, works everytime, trust me I know.

I think i got the issue solved.

After all the messing around I had done with WHM yesteday (As reported in my last reply) i got the following error when I went to attempt to recompile php today:

"configure: error: libXpm.(a|so) not found."


So I uhhh ran:
yum install gd-devel


Then ran the apache update in whm again and after the wait I checked my php info and it had been updated! Yay!

Thanks alot for all of your help guys, I wouldn't have thought about updating/downgrading WHM/cpanel if Infopro hadn't suggested it.

why in the world would you use easyapache in whm ? i always considered it buggy. never could compile apache from whm very good.

easyapache from command line always does the trick.

I personally always compile Apache with easyapache and then compile PHP in WHM skipping Apache build if up to date
