Suppose that your Linux server has PHP version selector installed and configured.<\/p>\n

As you know alternative php5.x (while using PHP version selector) versions should load \/opt\/alt\/php5x\/etc\/php.ini file and scan \/opt\/alt\/php5x\/etc\/php.d directory for modules::<\/p>\n

====
\nConfiguration File (php.ini) Path \/opt\/alt\/php5x\/etc
\nLoaded Configuration File \/opt\/alt\/php5x\/etc\/php.ini
\nScan this dir for additional .ini files \/opt\/alt\/php5x\/etc\/php.d
\nadditional .ini files parsed \/opt\/alt\/php5x\/etc\/php.d\/alt_php.ini
\n====
\nThose are default locations for alt-php.<\/p>\n

Steps in installing pecl http package in cloudlinux platform:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Download the pecl_http package from pecl website http:\/\/pecl.php.net\/package\/pecl_http and compile it.<\/p>\n

#wget http:\/\/pecl.php.net\/get\/pecl_http-2.0.4.tgz<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Extract the package
\n#tar -xvzf pecl_http-2.0.4.tgz<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Now run the ‘phpsize’ command. The phpize command is used to prepare the built environment for a PHP extension<\/p>\n

#phpize<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Proceed with the installation of the module as below:<\/p>\n

#.\/configure –with-php-config=\/opt\/alt\/php53\/usr\/bin\/php-config ;<\/strong>
\n# make && make install<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once the above steps are completed, the package pecl-http will be available in the server and we would need to load the extension.<\/p>\n

In order to load the Http PHP extension, proceed as below:<\/p>\n

1. Create a custom http.ini at location \/opt\/alt\/php5x\/etc\/php.d.all and add the following lines inside that file:<\/p>\n

#cd \/opt\/alt\/php5x\/etc\/php.d.all<\/strong><\/p>\n

#vi http.ini<\/strong><\/p>\n

; Enable http extension module
\nextension=http.so<\/em><\/p>\n

2. The module is loaded via \/opt\/alt\/php53\/etc\/php.d in the cagefs. (CageFS is a virtualized file system and a set of tools to contain each user in its own ‘cage’. Each customer will have its own fully functional CageFS, with all the system files, tools, etc.)<\/p>\n

The command cagefsctl –rebuild-alt-php-ini rebuilds customers alt_php.ini files,<\/p>\n

# Cagefsctl –rebuild-alt-php-ini<\/strong>
\nThe location of the file will be \/opt\/alt\/php53\/etc\/php.d\/alt_php.ini<\/p>\n

4. Finally, in order to enable the module, restart the webserver<\/p>\n

#service httpd restart<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. Also, ensure to enable our ‘http’ module from WHM as below:<\/p>\n

1. Login to WHM and proceed to
\nHome >>Server Configuration>>CloudLinux LVE Manager<\/p>\n

2. Select the ‘Selector’ tab<\/p>\n

3. Enable the checkbox near the ‘http’ module, after selecting the appropriate PHP version from the drop-down menu near ‘Choose default modules for’<\/p>\n

Now the PHP-HTTP extension will be available for the PHP version 5.x and we could test the same by creating a sample phpinfo page in any account that uses the php5.x version.<\/p>\n
