I followed the instructions on http://www.mysql-apache-php.com/ffmpeg-install.htm but ffmpeg-php does not show up in my phpinfo()

The commands I ran (in order)

#yum install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel
...
Public key for faac-1.26-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm is not installed

#rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

#cd ffmpeg-php-0.6.0

#phpize

Don't forget to run 'make test'.

...

#nano /usr/local/lib/php.ini

In which I put these two lines at the end of the php.ini file

[ffmpeg]
extension=ffmpeg.so

Then,

#service httpd restart

But phpinfo() still does not show any 'ffmpeg' section.

This is the correct php.ini because:

#php -i | grep php\.ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /usr/local/lib
Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/lib/php.ini

check your main error_log that will tell you if the ffmpeg extension isn't loading correctly – Mike Sep 26 '11 at 0:01

What output command:

echo "<? echo 1+1 ?> " | php

"PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library......." or 2?

and add output:

php -i | grep -C 4 "php\.ini"
php -i | grep "ffmpeg"

Hi bind - I gotta ask a dumb question .... what is the best place to copy/save the ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2 file and then phpize, ./configure and make, make install it? – matt74tm Sep 20 '10 at 11:23
When I do a make, it says: Libraries have been installed in: /home/myusername2/public_html/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0/modules Where should I be putting it? – matt74tm Sep 20 '10 at 11:24
