@ Rima

Its a permission issue. Apache is trying to access something that root installed. Change the permissions on the binary file

Hi,

Can I give 6 out of 5

I just installed the ffmpeg-php extension on my development server. I have my PHP compiled from source so I skipped yum installing the php-devel package. In the first go, I got the error “unable to find ffmpeg headers” while doing the ./configure. I re-checked and found that I missed to yum nstall the ffmpeg-devel package. All worked like a charm!

By the way, the ffmpeg.so was created inside a folder no-debug-non-zts-20050922, and phpinfo() did not show it when I restarted apache after editing php.ini. (I have Zend Optimizer installed too). I just copied the ffmpeg.so file from that folder to /usr/local/lib/php/extensions, restarted apache and yeehaw…. it now shows in phpinfo().

Your article was of great help kulbirsaini….
Thanks a lot.

We have released a new script that does ffmpeg, ffmpeg-php install. It covers everything that is required for the youtube clones and is made user friendly.

There are many automated scripts available which install these but its better to do it manually as in case of an error occuring during the installation process, we can stop the installation and fix them.

This covers everything that is required for the youtube clones and is made user friendly. I belive the ffmpeg.so was created inside a folder no-debug-non-zts-20050922, and phpinfo() did not show it when I restarted apache after editing php.ini.
