Should you find yourself in the situation where you need to have support for a specific module in PHP such as Curl or GD, you can make this change in WHM. This is done by recompiling Apache and PHP with the new options. Please follow the steps below to complete the process.
1) Log into WHM and navigate to the Software tab.
2) Click the link for “Apache Update”
3) Upon selecting this option, you will be presented with a new page to start making the configuration changes to Apache and PHP.
4) The first thing that you will need to do is create a new profile or load an existing one. Generally the best option is to select “Previously Saved Config”. This will automatically select exactly what you have currently configured on your server over the next few pages so that you will not need to remember to select specific items.
5) The next page is going to give you the option to select the version of Apache that you are planning to run. If you are not planning to change your Apache version, you will want to click “Next Step”. If you do intend on running a different version, select the version you with to run and then click “Next Step”.
6) You next option will be to select the base version of PHP that you are planning to run. The current version of PHP will already be select, if you are just attempting to add or remove a specific module, you will want to leave this selection alone and continue on, if you wish to change to a completely new version of PHP such as from PHP4 to PHP5, you will want to select the new version you want to install and then continue on by clicking “Next Step”.
7) This next page will present you with the sub versions of PHP for the base version you have selected. For example if you have selected PHP5, you will be presented with 5.2.3, 5.2.4, 5.2.5 and 5.2.6. Select the specific version you wish to use and the click “Next Step”
8) You are now going to be selecting the modules to have compiled into Apache and PHP. If you do not see the module you are looking for on this page, scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Exhaustive Options List”. This will then list all available modules.
9) Select the specific modules you wish to have. Please be careful to read the descriptions and the warnings associated with the modules you select to ensure you do not create any conflicts. Once you have selected the desired modules you will want to click “Save and Build”.
10) Once you have click “Save and Build”, the profile will be saved and you will be presented with a confirmation box to start the build process. Select “Yes” to begin.
11) This will bring a new page where you will be able to watch as the build process is run. It will notify you when it has completed and your Apache and PHP will now be updated to the versions you have select with the modules you have selected.
