Show PHP Version in cpanel

[crackdom]

Hi,

I have just install cpanel on a new server and when I look at the general server information panel on the cpanel main page the field where the PHP version is usually show is blank.

I have tested and know that PHP is working fine on the box. The box information is below

General server information:

Operating system

Path to PERL

/usr/bin/perl

Path to sendmail

PHP version

MySQL version

4.0.24-standard

cPanel Build

The only reason that I can think of is that PHP was installed as an apache module rather than standalone and I need to tel cpanel where to find php information but I haven't a clue where to do that.

Any help is greatly appriceated.

Did you recompile Apache and include any major Php modules?
Are there any errors when trying to execute a Php script? Did you check the log files for errors?

Even while Building Apache it says "Upgrading PHP version to" and then won't tell you. All Cpanels show nothing there for PHP. I've tried every version of PHP. The strange thing is some things work and some don't.

Could this be a file permissions issue?

What do you get when executing this command at the prompt: php -v

[PanelGuy]

4.3.11 even though I explicitly told Apache to build with 5.04 because we are using the new MySQLi.

Any ideas why my Apache build is doing this?

[PanelGuy]

I finally figured out why it won't show a version. It's not installing as a module. I even removed checks on:
- PHP suEXEC Support
- Reset Apache Config to Default (last resort)
- Skip Apache Build if up to date

And no dice, what gives?

[PanelGuy]

Ok, well the solution I used was to build my own PHP. Although after I do it, WHM overwrites it, but it wouldn't install it the first tiem by itself.

Either way, it still will not work as a Module in Apache. No idea why not.

execute this command as root:

/scripts/upcp

this will fix it

[PanelGuy]

ope, that didn't work for me until I compiled my own and then, suddenly WHM was appy to overwrite it. Nwo it showws up fine BUT:

Im using 1.3.4 and PHP 5.0.4, I made my own PHP, no problem.

Sites dont' show it. Ok, let WHM build Apache and rebuild my PHP. OK, still no love.
Eyeing at the hammer....

It does a version check fine from SSH2, so it's there, but it doesn't seem to do anything on the web. Not even simple phpinfo.php files.

Any clues whatsoever? Some small thing I have mised?

I made sure I ran Zend, newest vesion, etc.

It's Fedora Core 4
Upgraded to Current.

Then try with /scripts/upcp --force

This won't fix the problem. You need to compile Php, manually, separate from Apache, and include all the modules you need. Watch for errors while compiling Php. When completed successfully, restart Apache.

[PanelGuy]

Andy is right. you have to compile your own PHP and I can tell you, it's no walk in the park. I've been working at it for almsot 3 days.
