makecpphp not installed

[angelidata]

Hi,

I want to install a plugin but when I started to install, I get this error:

I can't find /var/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php . Please use the script /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/makecpphp to build it, after that rerun this installation script

How can I install makecpphp?
Because I need this script to get /var/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php to install the plugin.

Thank you.

You should have it, but you have to run it from the SSH command line (as root):

[email protected] [~]# /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/makecpph

Hi,

I read about it, that I sould have it, but I don't have it. In /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/ i have two files that start with make* : make_config and makesecondary* . I don't have makecpphp.

Try this:

# /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/updatenow --sync

That should replace any scripts that are missing from /usr/local/cpanel/scripts.

Is this by chance cPanel 11.35? If so, makecpphp no longer exists in cPanel 11.35. It should exist in 11.34 and earlier.

I recently upgraded to 11.36, which of course doesn't have this either. Sooo... what does one use *instead* of makecpphp, if one wanted to rebuild cPanel's php?

why you need to "rebuild" cPanel PHP? cPanel PHP's are installed from rpms now.

why you need to "rebuild" cPanel PHP? cPanel PHP's are installed from rpms now.

1. Because I like the warm fuzzy feeling I get from running the most recent version of PHP 5.3 (5.3.22) instead of PHP 5.3.17.
2. Because I like building PHP against the system's MySQL (5.5.30), but cPanel's PHP appears to be built against MySQL 5.0.96.
3. Because I didn't realize cPanel switched to RPMs for its PHP, and old habits are hard to break? :D

1. Fair enough, the internal PHP is a bit older. Is there functionality in 5.3.22 that you require?
2. The MySQL 5.0.96 client library we link to is compatible with all versions of MySQL supported by cPanel & WHM. As far as I can tell, the only win you'd get by changing the client library is a bump in the version string displayed to users.
3. That's going to take a long time for everyone

For the issue with getting a plugin to work, please contact the plugin vendor/developer. If they require additional features (e.g. extensions) to be made available with cPanel & WHM, we are greatly interested in hearing from them.

Hi Kenneth,

No specific functionality for PHP, just want to make sure the various bug and security patches are in place.

RE: MySQL client library, I know that theoretically the old library is compatible... it's just something that bugs me And I have this thought in the back of my head that maybe the 5.0.x client doesn't understand everything the 5.5.x server does (Like the new utf8mb4 collation), and maybe some clever blackhat has figured out how to turn the mismatch into an exploit. I guess the question of the day is... is the 5.5.30 client not backwards compatible with MySQL 4.x/MySQL 5.1? And if so, why not use it? Even if it does nothing but update the client version string... that can still be good for marketing

But still: [~]# /scripts/makecpphp

scripts/makecpphp is no longer provided with cPanel & WHM.

 

[HostingH]

Hello,

Thanks for the important update. Is there any other script? Or in future, there is no need to compile cpanel's php ?

 

[xServers.ro]

Nowadays you can do /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix

Hi all
How can I compile cPanels internal PHP with cURL? I need this for some software that uses cURL for licensing purposes...
On another note, does anyone know if one can change their forum username?
Thanks

Curl, with SSL support, is provided with the internal PHP as of 11.36.0.

scripts/makecpphp is no longer provided with cPanel & WHM.

Hello cPanelKenneth !

So what command in ssh should we use instead?


"/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/updatenow --sync" or "/scripts/updatenow --sync" in 11.36 ?

Thank you,

Jean Boudreau

Nowadays you can do /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix

So this scripts would replace "makecpphp" with the --fix a the end?

 

[cPanelKenneth]

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix will reinstall any cPanel-provided RPMs that have changed post install, as well as install newly requested RPMs, based upon local options (e.g. changing the server's MySQL version).

It does not replace makecpphp. If you need to modify the internal PHP installation (internal meaning the one in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty), then you need to install the source RPM, make your changes, build the new RPM, and configure the cPanel RPM system to use it (RPM Cookbook).

We are interested in knowing the changes you desire to the internal PHP installation.
