WHM: how to add curl extension to PHP?

Question

i need curl installed on php. how can i add it using WHM? and does it have any security issue or may couse problem for accounts on the shared host?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

You can also configure it from the GUI in WHM under Software and EasyApache.
