Step b: Download the APC

wget https://pecl.php.net/package/APC

eg : wget https://pecl.php.net/get/APC-3.0.15.tgz

Step c: Extract it over to your server

tar -xzf APC-3.0.15.tgz

cd APC*

Step d: Check the PHP location by running the below command:

which php

Step e: Create the configuration files using the below command

Phpize

Stepf: Now the APC need to be compiled over the server :

./configure –enable-apc –enable-apc-mmap –with-apxs –with-php-config=/usr/local/bin/php-config

make

make install

Note : You must install the APC in the php.ini file

Step g: Below command would help you to find the php.ini over the server :

php -i | grep php.ini

Step h : Amend php.ini by adding APC extension, as stated below :

vi /usr/local/Zend/etc/php.ini

Step I : Add the following to the php.ini file

apc.shm_segments=1
apc.optimization=0
apc.shm_size=128
apc.ttl=7200
apc.user_ttl=7200
apc.num_files_hint=1024
apc.mmap_file_mask=/tmp/apc.XXXXXX
apc.enable_cli=1

Step J : Restart apache

service httpd restart

Due to the above conditions, when a PHP file creates or uploads a new file under your account, the new file will be owned by the user “nobody”. If you FTP into your account, all files owned by “nobody” will not be available for you to move, rename or delete. In this case the only way to remove the “nobody” owned files would be through a file on the server or to contact support and ask for the file ownership to be changed back to your username.

Create a file named ‘phpinfo.php’ under the public_html of your domain

Insert the following code:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Access the file in your browser using the link https://yourdomain.com/phpinfo.php

At the top section search the line ‘Server API’.
If you see’CGI’ then your account is hosted on a server with suPHP.
If it shows ‘apache’ then you are NOT on a suPHP server.

In httpd.conf file,for that particular domain, put the following code in >directory> as

Normal configure commands could be used to compile php4 with apache.

Now PHP5 Installation.
a) You can download the version of pHP5 you would like to install from https://php.net/

REMOVE the “–with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs” from the line. We are going to compile CGI version and it may broke the Apache!

b) Make sure you have the following prefixes and suffixes to install to the proper directories – otherwise currently installed php could be broken:
–prefix=/usr/local/php5 –exec-prefix=/usr/local/php5 –program-suffix=5

c) Add the necessary options for proper CGI redirects from Apache:
–enable-force-cgi-redirect –enable-discard-path

The result line will looks like this (please, do not use it – it has no CURL and PostgreSQL support – you better to follow steps below):

#./configure –prefix=/usr/local/php5 –exec-prefix=/usr/local/php5 –program-suffix=5 –with-xml –enable-bcmath –enable-calendar –enable-ftp –with-gd –enable-exif –with-jpeg-dir=/usr –with-png-dir=/usr –with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 –with-imap –with-imap-ssl –with-kerberos –enable-mbstring –with-mbstring=all –enable-mbstr-enc-trans –with-mcrypt –with-mhash –enable-magic-quotes –with-mysql=/usr –with-openssl –enable-discard-path –with-pear –enable-sockets –enable-track-vars –with-ttf –with-freetype-dir=/usr –enable-versioning –with-zlib –with-pspell –with-gettext –enable-inline-optimization –disable-debug –enable-force-cgi-redirect –enable-discard-path

#make
#make install

#cp -f /usr/local/php5/bin/php5 /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/php5
#ln -s /usr/local/Zend/etc/php.ini /usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini

It is recommended to add the following line to the php.ini at the bottom (it is a MUST if you compile php4 instead php5!). Note that this line will broke regular php4. As a common rule – if you are using the same php.ini, do not add this line:

cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1 ; needed for CGI/FastCGI mode

Now we need to add several lines to Apache

#vi /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

Scroll down (better use the built-in search) to the “<IfModule mod_dir.c>”
There we should to add index.php5 after index.jp, but before index.php4. Result would looks like this:

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.wml index.cgi index.shtml index.jsp index.js index.jp index.php5 iindex.php4 index.php3 index.php index.phtml ndex.htm default.htm default.html home.htm
</IfModule>

This to allow index.php5 as index file.

Continue editing. Find the “AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml” and after it add this:

Action application/x-httpd-php5 “/cgi-sys/php5”
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php5

#service httpd configtest
#service httpd stop
#service httpd startssl

This is an important security feature as it will prevent users from being able to access system or other users files with php scripts. It will most importantly stop malicious scripts from being able to access a lot of important information.

1. To access the Server Setup Menu, click on Server Setup, on the main screen of your WebHost Manager interface. Then, click on Tweak Security.
2. Click on Configure in the Php’s open_basedir section.
3. Click on the check box next to Enable php open_basedir Protection to enable Enable php open_basedir Protection.
4. Click on a check box next to a domain’s name to allow them to open files outside of their home directory with php, if necessary.
5. Click on Save.

1. Connect to the MySQL server
   Use the following statement to connect to the database server. Substitute the username, and
   password for ones who have created in the MyAdmin interface and have given adequate
   permissions to this database.
   MYSQL_CONNECT(‘localhost’,’USERNAME’,’PASSWORD’);
   
2. Select Your Database
   Use the following statement to select the database you wish to connect to. Make sure you
   substitute the example with your database name.
   @mysql_select_db(“DATABASENAME”);
3. Executing A Query
   You are now ready to execute your queries. Remember that the databases and users used must be created in the MyAdmin interface in your CP. Most problems that arise with your scripts will be due to incorrect permission settings.

To do this, you need to create the page that will do the forwarding. This can be any page, as long as it ends in “.php”. If you are trying to redirect a domain, you’d create “index.php” inside the public_html directory.

Once you decide which page you will use, then create the file and enter the following text:

header(“Location: https://whereyouwant.com/to/go.html“);
?>
Where https://whereyouwant.com/to/go.html is the location that you want the page to forward to. You can use local values, ie: /page.html, or full urls as in the above example (https://..etc.)
