SOLVED grpc not showing up in PECL/PEAR for centos7 and WHM

[oah]

Hi
I am trying to install GRPC extension for PHP and it is not showing any where not in PECL, EA4, PEAR, although the google documentation states you can install it via PEAR on centos7. as shown below:

https://cloud.google.com/php/grpc#centos-rhel-7



I can try and install it from the command line but I am afraid it might break my php or something else. The question is if it is available as a PEAR module, what it is not showing up when I search for it via WHM's pear (install module) and is it safe to just install it from the command line?

Thx.

Can you try to install it this way? It should be relatively safe:

/opt/cpanel/ea-php##/root/usr/bin/pecl install grpc-1.33.1

Replace "##" with the PHP version i.e 70, 71, 72, 73, 80 etc...

If this doesn't work give this a try without specifying the version.

@andrew.n 's command worked well for me with PHP 7.4 on a CentOS 7 machine. Let us know if you still have issues after trying that!

worked like charm. thx again.
The funny thing is, I have no idea on how to mark the question as solved. Can I do it or is that an admin thing?

 

[andrew.n]

probably @cPRex has to do it. I'm happy that all worked out fine enjoy.

 

[cPRex]

Correct - only I can mark threads as solved, so I'll do that now!

How about in CENT OS 7 and PHP 8.1?

@keanallen - have you tried using the WHM >> Module Installer >> PECL option to install grpc? It takes a while to run, but I just tested that and confirmed that does work.

It is working if I install grpc on ea-php74. But I want it to install on ea-php81 because PHP7.4 has no longer support. And our laravel app requires at least php 8.1

The error when installing grpc on ea-php81 is:

At this point I wasn't able to reproduce since it installed fine for me on a system where the default was set to PHP 8.1 Could you create a ticket with our team so we can check this out?
