PHP with Imap Module (Version 2004g) support

[kornaz]

Is there any decent HOWTO about compiling PHP with IMAP (2004g) support in Cpanel, because I've been trying to do this for the last few days with no luck. I downloaded ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/c-client.tar.Z, but WHERE do I have to extract it? Or should I use libc-client from my distribution? I had enough of googling...

In WHM > Update Apache you can select the version of PHP to use and the modules you want (or at least you can select from the modules it offers).

Selecting 'Imap Module (Version 2004g)' should do the trick.

Sadly, it doesnt do the trick. I get the following error with easyapache:

./buildscript: line 792: ./utils/build_prep.pl: No such file or directory
./buildscript: line 794: /usr/local/cpanel/src/3rdparty/bsd/imap-2004g/Makefile.new: No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat `/usr/local/cpanel/src/3rdparty/bsd/imap-2004g/Makefile.new': No such file or directory
./buildscript: line 797: cd: /usr/local/cpanel/src/3rdparty/bsd/imap-2004g: No such file or directory

So I extracted c-client.tar.Z to /usr/local/cpanel/src/3rdparty/bsd/, but it seems that something's still wrong:

./buildscript: line 792: ./utils/build_prep.pl: No such file or directory
Removing old processed sources and binaries...

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/cpanel/src/3rdparty/bsd/imap-2004g/tools'
make: *** No rule to make target `imap'. Stop.

PHP will NOT compile with --with-imap option after this... I'm running cPanel 10.8.2-R119, PHP 4.4.2 on Fedora Core 4 with the latest updates.

Maybe the best option at this stage would be to contact cPanel support. If Apache/PHP doesn't compile from WHM then something is wrong somewhere!

Finally I've compiled PHP with IMAP Module support. /home/cpapachebuild/buildapache/buildscript is totally messed-up in IMAP part, so I've made a couple of workarounds to suite this buggy script. If anyone's interested, I can post my solution here.

It would be best to log the changes in bugzilla so that cPanel is aware of the issue.
