CentOS 5 - Install PHP intl

Question

Server:

CENTOS 5.11 i686
WHM 54.0

I've tried several approaches installing intl PHP extension.

First approach is straight forward.
In WHM i enter PHP PECL, and when trying to install intl:

 downloading intl-3.0.0.tgz ...

 No changes

Tried finding that intl.so object manually online, no luck.
I'm afraid I might get non-compatible version and screw things up. Nonetheless, this would be a bad solution.

Second approach is running pecl library via ssh:

root@ns1 [/]# /usr/bin/pecl install intl

and the response:

downloading intl-3.0.0.tgz ...
Starting to download intl-3.0.0.tgz (248,200 bytes)
....................................................done: 248,200 bytes
could not extract the package.xml file from "/root/tmp/pear/cache/intl-3.0.0.tgz"
Download of "pecl/intl" succeeded, but it is not a valid package archive
Error: cannot download "pecl/intl"
Download failed
install failed

Researching online, I tried to update icu via yum.
It finds php53-intl.i386 package and says it's already installed.

php53-intl.i386

PHP was excluded in the config, and I had to remove it from the list. I wonder why, in addition when I yum list php

And php -v says PHP 5.5.31 (cli) (built: Jan 14 2016 18:46:05)
This also might be useful, rpm -qa | grep php response:

I am lost here.

either you've built php 5.5 yourself, or it was installed using different repo(which is not enabled now), what's in your yum.repos.d? — Michail Strokin, Feb 10 '16 at 19:22
Also, this question is probably more suitable for serverfault rather than stackoverflow :) — Michail Strokin, Feb 10 '16 at 19:25
@Michail i build PHP via WHM's 'easy apache'. Edited the question to include rpm php related packages. — Dimdum, Feb 10 '16 at 19:34
you can try to build updated icu by using this tutorial: http://davidalger.com/sysops/upgrading-icu-to-install-orocrm-on-centos-5/ and then trying to install php-intl using WHM — Michail Strokin, Feb 10 '16 at 19:39

Since you're already using EasyApache, you can install the Intl extension within EasyApache (not through the WHM PHP Extension install area), which I would recommend. EasyApache is very sensitive to outside modifications/changes due to the nature of the script :)

WHM 54.0 build 12 Easy Apache v3.32.10

Go to EasyApache3 in WHM
Under "cPanel Recommended Profiles" next to "Basic Apache 2.4" click on the gear icon to customize this profile
Step 1: Keep Apache 2.4 (unless you absolutely need Apache 2.2)
Step 2: Select your PHP version, I recommend php 5.5 or 5.6 depending on application requirements
Step 3: Usually the default settings here are sufficient, but the next click the "Exhaustive Options List" button
Step 4: You can skip the "Apache" modules section, the "PHP Modules" section is about 50% down the page. Select any PHP modules you need (including Intl) add-on together. You can also leave the rest default as well.
Click "Save & Build"

If you run into any errors during the build process I highly recommend you contact cPanel support or your server provider if you have technical assistance. Most all of the plugins you need for PHP are installable via EasyApache and it is the safest way to install them.

If you tried this already, use a fresh "cPanel Recommended Profile" and be sure to only check the minimum required options, as some addons might not be compatible with others in some cases.

Starting fresh generally works for me when I am having issues with EasyApache.

Thanks, that's useful. Using EasyApache is the best way of building PHP in WHM for cPanel — contrid, Sep 21 '16 at 21:32
