Imagick 3.1.0RC2 & cPanel 11.36.1.8

Hi,

My forum software isn't working correctly with the latest stable version of imagick and quite a few other administrators with the same software remarked that the latest beta version solves the problems. I asked my server company to install 3.1.0RC2 and this was the response I got:

"The beta version is not supporting the cpanel. It will corrupt the cpanel when the cpanel get updates. Its allowing only the latest stable version."


Does anyone here know if there is a way to upgrade to this version without causing a problem like he describes. I'm running PHP Version 5.3.25 if that helps.


Thanks!

 

Hi Michael,

I have root access (I need to redo my profile) so if I have to, I could try to manually install it myself. I just wanted to double check that installing a beta wouldn't corrupt cPanel. If it doesn't and there was some type of documentation to support that, then I could try to encourage my hosting company to do it. Also, I wasn't sure if there was some type of configuration that needs to be set to allow beta installs.

Thanks for your reply.

 

I just got clarification from my host on their reasoning for not wanting to install a beta version.

"Corruption isn't the issue...cPanel runs unannounced upgrades that typically revert non standard installed software to their current default version. "

Is there a way to prevent cPanel from reverting the software in this particular case?

Thanks again.
