Installing FFmpeg-PHP on CPanel and Centos 6 on Hyper-V

Posted in Linux Server, Virtual Machine Manager | 12 Comments | 35,749 views | 08/10/2011 12:23

Before installing FFmpeg-PHP, you need to install FFmpeg, MPlayer and MEncoder for video processing.
I posted an installation guide for them. You can reach it from this post:

http://www.yusufozturk.info/linux-server/installing-ffmpeg-mplayer-and-mencoder-on-centos-6-and-cpanel-on-hyper-v.html

Because I have CPanel on my CentOS, I won’t install Apache, MySQL or PHP. I’m just going with FFmpeg-PHP installation.
If you need Ruby on Rails, you can also install it via CPanel scripts.

So I assume you did previous installations. Now let’s go with FFmpeg-PHP installation.

1. Download ffmpeg-php in to /usr/src directory.

1 2	cd /usr/src wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ffmpeg-php/ffmpeg-php/0.6.0/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2?r=&ts=1365651935&use_mirror=garr

2. Untar the ffmpeg-php package.

tar xjf ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2

3. Use phpize to create config files.

1 2	cd ffmpeg-php-0.6.0 phpize

4. Now we can configure, make and make install.

1
2
3

./configure –enable-shared –prefix=/usr
make
make install

5. Go to php.ini file and ffmpeg.so as extension.

nano /usr/local/lib/php.ini

6. Let’s check our info.php file.

ffmpeg

ffmpeg-php version => 0.6.0-svn
ffmpeg-php built on => Oct 8 2011 11:49:39
ffmpeg-php gd support => disabled
ffmpeg libavcodec version => Lavc52.72.2
ffmpeg libavformat version => Lavf52.64.2
ffmpeg swscaler version => SwS0.11.0

Directive => Local Value => Master Value
ffmpeg.allow_persistent => 0 => 0
ffmpeg.show_warnings => 0 => 0

Now you have ffmpeg-php on your CPanel and CentOS 6 installation on Hyper-V. Congrats!

Hello Gurminder,

There is a copy/past issue i guess. That should be:

./configure –enable-shared –prefix=/usr

Check the article again.

Hello Sandeep,

Open ffmpeg_frame.c for edit.

nano ffmpeg_frame.c

Find the following:

PIX_FMT_RGBA32

Replace with this:

PIX_FMT_RGB32

Continue installation:

cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0
cp -aP ffmpeg_frame.loT ffmpeg_frame.lo
make clean
./configure
make
make install

It should work.

Yusuf.

It seems a lot of people (including me) are having trouble with errors after running ‘make’. The error usually starts out with:

/usr/include/bits/stat.h:91: error: field âst_atimâ has incomplete type
/usr/include/bits/stat.h:92: error: field âst_mtimâ has incomplete type
/usr/include/bits/stat.h:93: error: field âst_ctimâ has incomplete type

and ends with:

Warning: implicit declaration of function âavcodec_initâ

If anyone can shed light on how to fix this, please let us know.

Thanks.

The avcodec problem can be solved by changing ffmpeg-php.c line 94 to avcodec_register_all(); This because avcodec_init(); is not supported anymore in ffmpeg.

However then still the other errors are there and have no solution for those (yet)
