Runcloud php custom module/ extension install

Installing custom PHP modules

Since we are rolling our own PHP Version, apt-get install php-* won’t work because it will replace our php and there will be a conflict. Thus, you need to compile your own modules to make it work. Don’t worry about it because most modules already shipped with RunCloud except you are trying to do some weird things inside your server.

This example will teach you how to compile pecl-sphinx inside your RunCloud Server.

You need to login as root user to be able to compile and install the module.

	# Install the required developement tools
	apt-get install autoconf libpcre3-dev

	# Set module name
	MODULE_NAME=”sphinx”

	# Set download version
	MODULE_VERSION=”1.3.3″

	# Download & Extract
	cd ~
	wget https://pecl.php.net/get/$MODULE_NAME-$MODULE_VERSION.tgz
	tar -zxvf $MODULE_NAME-$MODULE_VERSION.tgz
	cd $MODULE_NAME-$MODULE_VERSION


	# Installing for PHP5.5
	# make clean will always fail if you never compile it before
	make clean

	/RunCloud/Packages/php55rc/bin/phpize –clean

	/RunCloud/Packages/php55rc/bin/phpize

	./configure –with-libdir=lib64 CFLAGS=’-O2 -fPIE -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wall -pedantic -fsigned-char -fno-strict-aliasing’

	make install

	echo “extension=$MODULE_NAME.so” > /etc/php55rc/conf.d/$MODULE_NAME.ini

	systemctl restart php55rc-fpm
