Php – Install cURL in CentOS

apache-2.2curlPHP

Can someone direct me on how to install cURL on a CentOS server. Preferably through WHM if it's possible to recompile PHP that way.. I am a noob in SSH and this is a production server.

Egads, easyapache? SSH in, switch to root and "yum install curl".

No you don't need to recompile.

there 3 different ways to enable/install php5-curl extension on Ubuntu. all of them are easy. here is the link to that. http://php.net/manual/en/install.pecl.php last 3 options starting with "compiling..." all works for you. apply any of them. get curl.so file in extensions directory of php installation. then edit related extension line in php.ini file. restart the apache.

btw, dpkg can not update the installation via deb/apt, because you didn't use precompiled packages so it's normal behaviour of apt.

why do you need to remove suhosin patch ?

Php – WHM: how to add curl extension to PHP

From the command line (ssh or physical) run the follow command /scripts/easyapache which will allow you to recompile the apache with curl support any other available feature you may want.

EasyApache is a pre configured script that allows you to easily update Apache Web server through WHM or SSH.

and does it have any security issue or may couse problem for accounts on the shared host?

It does not cause any trouble, as for the security it depends on how the users use it, depending it could be used to brute-force attack websites which would be a really bad thing.
