How to install Suhosin via EasyApache

July 16, 2014 19:39

Because SuHosin is a PHP extension, there is no reason to rebuild all of Apache and PHP to install or remove it. Instead, use phpextensionmgr. phpextensionmgr will install or remove the following PHP extensions:

# /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/phpextensionmgr list
Available Extensions:
EAccelerator
IonCubeLoader
Zendopt
Xcache
SourceGuardian
PHPSuHosin
#

For usage information, just pass the help argument:

# /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/phpextensionmgr help
Usage:
    phpextensionmgr [options] [action] [extension]

        Options:
          --help       Help message
          --prefix     Installation prefix for PHP (normally /usr/local)

        Actions:
          install      Install or update the extension
          uninstall    Uninstall the extension
          status       Display the installation status of the extension
          list         Show available extensions

#

So to install SuHosin, you would use: # /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/phpextensionmgr install PHPSuHosin
phpextensionmgr is much faster, and poses much less risk to Apache and PHP as a whole, than running EasyApache just to install or remove an extension. Extensions by nature are easy to install and remove, with the only change to the PHP configuration being an entry in the php.ini file.

So SuHosin is not available via EasyApache without SSH ?

SuHosin is no longer in EasyApache. You need to run phpextensionmgr from the shell, as I explained, to install or remove it. This is also true for the other PHP extensions I listed in the output in my previous reply.

I installed the Suhosin extension via the shell as per above. Once the install has run it suggests "Build complete. Don"t forget to run "make test"." Is this necessary? Is it possible to install the Suhosin patch? I'm using php 5.5.16. Cheers

Hello :) You can install it on PHP 5.5 and you do not have to actually run "make test". Thank you.

Hi Michael The Suhosin patch. According to this [url=http://suhosin.org/stories/configuration.html]Configuration | SUHOSIN you cannot use the predefined constants for configuration if you have the Suhosin extension installed without the patch. Yet it states here [url=http://suhosin.org/stories/install.html]Installing Suhosin | SUHOSIN that "The Suhosin-Patch is compatible only up to version 5.3.9". Is this referring to PHP 5.3.9? I'm a little confused. Cheers

Yes, that document is referring to the PHP version. If you use PHP 5.4 or 5.5, Suhosin version 0.9.36 is utilized. If you use PHP 5.3, Suhosin version 0.9.33 is utilized. Have you tried configuring to see if you actually encounter any problems? Thank you.
