Install FFMPEG and ffmpeg-php in CentOS 6 with Virtualmin1 ago-by Daniel- howto centos virtualmin ffmpeg ffmpeg-php

The other day I is requested to set-up few requirements for a client such as mod_rewrite , GD library , PHP Dom , bcmath etc: and among t Hese in the list there is the FFMPEG library and the FFMPEG-PHP extension. OK, no big deal, but this box have CentOS 6 (RHEL6) with Virtualmin/Webmin set-up on top of it using the base repositories on Ly, so let's do it I said ...

OK, I took the following steps in order to install and set-up FFMPEG and ffmpeg-php in CentOS 6 with Virtualmin

1. Update the System
2. Install Development Tools
3. Protect Base Repositories
4. Add Dag ' s repository
5. Install FFMPEG
6. Install ffmpeg-php
7. Load ffmpeg-php Extension

1. Make sure the CentOS 6 system is fully up-to-date

yum update

2. Install Development Tools

yum groupinstall "Development tools"

3. Protect the base repositories so the packages don ' t get updated by the unprotected ones

Install the Protectbase yum pluginBy

yum install yum-protectbase

And then navigate to/etc/yum.repos.d

cd /etc/yum.repos.d/

Before doing any changes to the repositories and always does backup of the original ones.

cp -prv ../yum.repos.d{,.orig}

In order for a repository to is protected, a line protect=1 needs to is added to each repository sections CentOS-Base.repo in, and CentOS-Media.repo c6/>.

So, edit these files using your favourite editor or does the sed if you ' re feeling brave

sed -i ‘/gpgkey=/a\protect=1‘ CentOS-{Base,Media}.reposed -i ‘/gpgkey=/a\protect=1‘ virtualmin.repo

4. Add dag ' s repository by adding the following to/etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo

[dag]name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linuxbaseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/daggpgcheck=1gpgkey=http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txtenabled=1protect=0

Next import dag ' s rpm gpg key by

wget http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt -P /tmprpm --import /tmp/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

5. Proceed with installing FFMPEG and some development packages

yum install ffmpeg-devel php-devel re2c php-xml ffmpeg

Verify is FFMPEG installed successfully by executing

ffmpeg

You should get something like

6. Compile and install the ffmpeg-php extension

mkdir /srv/buildcd /srv/buildwget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ffmpeg-php/ffmpeg-php/0.6.0/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2tar -xjf ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2cd ffmpeg-php-0.6.0/phpize./configure

Now run the following to prevent compilation failure and something likeffmpeg_frame.c:421: error: ‘PIX_FMT_RGBA32’ undeclared (first use in this function)

sed -i ‘s#PIX_FMT_RGBA32#PIX_FMT_RGB32#‘ ./ffmpeg_frame.c

and compile and install using

makemake install

You should end and something like

Installing shared extensions:     /usr/lib64/php/modules/

7. Load the ffmpeg-php extension and reload Apache

echo -e "extension=ffmpeg.so\n" > /etc/php.d/ffmpeg.ini

Restart the webserver by

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

Verify the FFMPEG-PHP extension is loaded

php -i | grep ffmpegphp -m | grep ffmpeg
