Who to install PCNTL Extension on Cpanel

Question

I am using php version 5.5.3 and want to install PCNTL, can you help me? It's VPS and I have root and WHM. I tried:

• Get your current php version (check phpinfo())
• Get the sources for that version here: http://www.php.net/releases/
• Extract this file; you will got folder name like php5-x.x.x

• Run following lines in terminal:

  cd php5-x.x.x/ext/pcntl
  phpize
  ./configure
  make
  cp modules/pcntl.so /usr/lib/php/modules/
  echo "extension=pcntl.so" > /etc/php.d/pcntl.ini
  restart apache
  

  Note: if your /usr/lib/php/modules/ or /etc/php.d/ is not same as this, you could try 'locate php/modules' or 'locate php.d'

To install pcntl on cpanel server you need to rebuild apache and php on your server

First create /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/all_php5 file on your server and add following code.

–enable-pcntl

Then rebuild apache and php using /scripts/easyapache

Once the rebuild completes, Check using php -m
