Hi Community,

It took me a while to get PHPVIBE to work because there is not a really good tutorial on the net that will specifically get you what you need to make it work on a server, plus most are old and outdated. If you follow the tutorial provided by FFMPEG.org for CentOs will not get you up and running. With the information I provide you can set up your server in less than 30 minutes, but you must follow every step. I also must warn you that if you currently have website running the video script clipbucket, they will no longer be able to upload videos. Clipbucket is very old and outdated, it will only run on FFMPEG .09 or so.

I spent a couple weeks trying this and that and finally came up with a system and configuration  that works perfectly on every video I tested (flv,mp4,avi,mpeg,wmv,divx,mov,mpg). In this tutorial I will not go into settings for PHPVIBE nor the server apache settings. If you read the installation of PHPVIBE EVERYTHING you need is already written there. This tutorial will only help you get FFMPEG and required libraries setup on your server. Some of the libraries I have listed here may not be required, but hey.. it is working

Anyone on shared hosting can also send this information to their host and if they follow the instructions exactly, you will be able to run PHPVIBE with no problems.

Everything in this tutorial was performed on 1 October 2014, so if you read it in 10 years it is probably outdated

There is nothing in here that will make your server not work anymore and everything is also undo-able

You must be logged in as "root" with putty to perform anything listed in this tutorial.

First thing you want to do is make sure FFMPEG is not already installed.
You can accomplish this with the following command:

Code Select Expand

ffmpeg

if you get something, it is installed, if you get nothing it could still be installed but not linked properly.

so run the following command to see where everything is located:

Code Select Expand

locate ffmpeg

if FFMPEG is installed already, you need to get rid of all previous installations until the list shown is down to just website ffmpeg references (EX: public_html/lib/upload-ffmpeg.php) <- files in public_html directories can stay. Remember, google is your friend and will help you figure out how to uninstall ffmpeg.

NOTE: Be sure to run commands one at a time, do not attempt to copy an entire code and paste it in putty!

Once you are sure ffmpeg is not installed, you can continue here :

FIREWALL MUST BE DISABLED!

Ensure your operating system is CentOs:

--enable-libfreetype --enable-libspeex --extra-version=phpvibe
make
make install

Thats it! Check your compilation with:

Code Select Expand

ffmpeg

Troubleshoot:

It could be that you run into issues with a message of "ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries....:. This simply means that it can't find the required libraries, in short you need to add them to the linked library configuration.

Check what libraries are missing with:

Code Select Expand

ldd `which ffmpeg`

This will give you a list of libraries ffmpeg is using. If any of them are marked with "not found" then search for the missing library in question, e.g. "libswresample.so.0" with:

Code Select Expand

find / -name libswresample.so.0

Once you have the path simply add it to /etc/ld.so.conf and issue a "ldconfig".

This should get you ffmpeg up and running.

LAST STEP! TURN FIREWALL BACK ON!

Hope this is helpful for someone, it is definitely useful for someone setting up a new server.

[Marius P.]

Good one, thanks for sharing with everybody!

[dimafabor]

Hello

it's --disable-shared or --enable-shared

Thanks

[Bob.Weston]

Hello

it's --disable-shared or --enable-shared

Thanks

As it is written.. all the above is exactly how I configured a centos 64 bit server and it is working perfectly.

do if it says --disable-shared that is what it should be.

[dimafabor]

Thank you you're so kind  i asked for confirmation that's it

[cyonx]

Thank you I was able to install ffmpeg without any errors but when installing ffmpeg-php I get the following errors

Code Select Expand

configure: WARNING: You will need re2c 0.13.4 or later if you want to regenerate PHP parsers.

checking for ffmpeg support... yes, shared
checking whether to force gd support in ffmpeg-php... no
checking for ffmpeg headers...
configure: error: ffmpeg headers not found. Make sure ffmpeg is compiled as shared libraries using the --enable-shared option

Is ffmpeg-php required for this script ? also how can I overcome this problem ?

as far as I know, ffmpeg-php is not required.
I never installed it and mine is working.

[Marius P.]

PHPVibe doesn't need ffmpeg-php.

This means that your /tmp directory has noexec flag and you need to disable it for a while.

Another solution
============
make sure you have /root/tmp (you should) and just run

export TMPDIR=$HOME/tmp

before you do your
./configure

[aryan2029]

Dear BOB.

Thank you very much. after applying that code it works and installed.

[Bob.Weston]

you are welcome, I know how frustrating it can be.. glad I could help..

[cdahal1995]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial

[Bob.Weston]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial

You are very welcome and Happy New Year..

I wrote this because I spent a couple of months trying over and over on different setups and finally found this that worked with phpVibe, was a very frustrating time for me.. it needed to be shared so everyone who purchases has something to follow to get it working on their server.

Dear Sir

how to configure ffmpeg now ?

please help

Thanks

[Marius P.]

If this fails, there are so many guides on the web http://www.phpvibe.com/ffmpeg-installation-for-a-video-script/
But first, remove the failing version, as installing two can create chaos.

I also followed that link at the beginning and never could get it to work and many other tutorials on the net.. that is why I wrote this tutorial because it does work if you go step by step.

If my tutorial doesn't work and you have a VPS, you may want to contact the server owner and ask them if they have some security turned on that would block FFMPEG.
