note 118010 added to imagick.installation

I tried installing imagick extension on WHM/Cpanel but it didn't work. the error message was could not extract the package.xml file This seems to be a bug in PHP 5.5 as reported by users. I finally installed this extension from command line. Here are the steps I used just in case someone is experiencing similar problem and is looking for a solution. 1. install ImageMagick from rpm repository in WHM. the version I installed is ImageMagick 6.7.2-7 2. log in the server via ssh, 3. download the latest version of imagick, unpack and install. the version I downloaded is imagick-3.3.0RC2.tgz wget http://pecl.php.net/get/imagick-3.3.0RC2.tgz tar xvf imagick-3.3.0RC2.tgz cd imagick-3.3.0RC2 phpize ./configure make make install the extension was successfully installed 4. in WHM, go to PHP configuration editor, in advanced mode, search extension, and add imagick.so in the list of extension enabled. this can of course be added using a command line editor. extension=imagick.so 5. restart apache. imagick is there now. My server runs PHP Version 5.5 cPanel Version 11.50.0 (build 30) I hope it works for someone else too. ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 14.200.22.3 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/imagick.installation.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/118010 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118010/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118010/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118010/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118010/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118010/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118010/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/118010 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/118010 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
