EasyApache 4 Questions

[vlee]

I would like to know if these options below are effected by using "All PHP Options + ZendGuard" in EasyApache 4?

1. memcached ran as a daemon as its a memory cache

2. GeoIP as a PHP Pecl and using mod_geoip.


Plus I noticed that "All PHP Options + ZendGuard" in EasyApache 4 still installs OpCache and my understanding is that SuPHP does not support Opcache.

Is there a reason for OpCache being installed with SuPHP?

 

[MattDees]

Currently we do not have support for either of those two options. There are currently plans to get better support for PECL modules in 11.54.

As for the "All PHP Options + ZendGuard" w/ opcache question. That profile installs EVERYTHING that it possible can as it tries not to presume the use case. Our hope is that when EA4 is further a long we can provide more tailored profiles for different server use cases. For example, an mpm_event & FPM profile for single site/few site systems, A mass shared hosting profile w/ suphp or itk + dso.

Thank you I will just use EasyApache 3 for now until further notice.

I got this to work by editing the pecl script. From command line as root:

pico`which pecl`

On the last line where it says:

exec $PHP -C -n -q $INCARG -d date.....

I simply removed the -n flag and the PHP Pecl Module Installer in WHM began working again.

I am not sure if this breaks anything else so do so at your own risk.

Any more word from cPanel staff on if the PHP Pecl Module Installer in WHM will be working for Easy Apache 4?

There's currently no update on the resolution, other than to note plans exist to address the issue in the next couple of weeks.

Thank you.

Any update on installing mod_geoip from EasyApache 4?

Any update on installing mod_geoip from EasyApache 4?

I see no update on support for Mod_GeoIP in EasyApache 4 at this time. However, there are plans to add documentation on creating RPM packages with EasyApache 4 in the future.

Thank you.

 

[vlee]

So what would be the best way to add Mod_GeoIP in EasyApache 4?

 

[JacobPerkins]

Hi,

EA4 is just an RPM distribution of the Apache binaries. You can install mod_geoIP by following their instructions:

geoip-api-mod_geoip2/INSTALL.md at master · maxmind/geoip-api-mod_geoip2 · GitHub

You might need to install ea-apache24-httpd-devel to get APXS.

I hope this helps!

Will the EasyApache 4 final release package be updated with PHP 7?

 

[JacobPerkins]

Hi,

I'd recommend keeping an eye on the PHP 7 feature request:

PHP7 support

 

[TravisAStrong]

vlee were you able to get mod_geoip installed?

Attempting to follow the install docs mentioned at
github.com/maxmind/geoip-api-mod_geoip2/blob/master/INSTALL.md

results in:

cannot open /usr/local/apache/build/config_vars.mk: No such file or directory at /usr/bin/apxs line 203

 

[JacobPerkins]

Hi,

Have you installed the old httpd-tools from EA3? EA4 APXS should be using /etc/, not /usr/local/. I'd recommend running:
yum remove httpd-tools
yum install ea-apache24-devel

This should install the EA4 version of APXS and allow this compilation.

 

[vlee]

I am currently waiting on EA4 to be out of beta before I do this.

Hi. I wrote up a small tutorial for getting Mod_GEOIP working with Apache 2.4 and Easy Apache 4 on WHM/Cpanel if anyone is interested it's located here mattgibson.ca/compiling-mod_geoip2-use-easyapache-4-ea4-cpanel/.

Matt, that is awesome, thank you very much for writing that up. I'm going to publicize this link a bit if you don't mind

Yes,

Thank you for taking the time to put this together. Will be very helpful.

That looks like a good tutorial, thanks. I am however a bit wary about installing httpd-devel on my production server. Should I expect any issues and is there anything to look out for or backup? I'm only installing it to get apxs on there, maybe there is another way?

You can install the ea-apache24-devel package:

Install httpd-devel

Note the ea-apache24-devel package isn't a replacement for the Apache web server:

Thank you.
