Adding jpgraph to PHP with EasyApache installed

[rolinger]

I could use some assistance here. I need to add `JpGraph` to my PHP installation. However with php-pfm it doesn't seem so straight forward and I am needing assistance.

Unfortunately there is no `composer` install for the most current version of JpGraph directly from `JpGraph - Most powerful PHP-driven charts` website which is forcing me to do a manual install. I have the gzip file on my server ready to go, but with these directions: Part I. Installing and verifying the configuring I am not certain how/where to add this library to my PHP version.

I think I found the source directory for all the EA PHP installs here: `/opt/cpanel` -> specifically `/opt/cpanel/ea-php73`

But the directory structure under `/opt/cpanel/ea-php73` is not what I was expecting so I don't know which path/sub-directory I need to copy the JpGraph files to.

The only directory in `ea-php73` is:

`/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root`

And under that is all the following, which almost look like its a replication of the `/` directories:

`/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/bin`
`/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/boot`
`/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/dev`
`/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/etc`
`/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/home`
`/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/lib`
`/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/lib64`
`/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/media`
`/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/mnt`
`/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/opt`
`/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/proc`
`/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/root`
`/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/run`
`/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/sbin`
`/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/srv`
`/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/sys`
`/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/tmp`
`/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/usr`
`/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/var`

So I am def confused on where to install JpGraph at.

As well, there is no EasyApache PHP Extension for JpGraph. I have to do this manually but with ea-php it is def not straight forward (anymore)

I also created a thread in JpGraph's google forum for this same question: How to Install jpgraph on Linux cPanel with easyApache4?

I find it odd that there isn't a single reference, anywhere, on Google, Stackoverflow, cPanel - google searches turn up zip - on how to install JpGraph into a Linux cPanel easyApache system. I can't honestly be the first to ever do this (well, the first to do it that had issues worth of posting questions for help).

Hey there! While I haven't specifically tested this software, according to our documentation here:

EasyApache 4 FAQ | cPanel & WHM Documentation

The question and answers document for EasyApache 4.

docs.cpanel.net

the MultiPHP system will detect any non"ea-" named packages and allow you to use them.

If you check a PHP Info page, you'll see the "Scan this dir for additional .ini files" option which will show a path similar to /opt/cpanel/ea-php80/root/etc/php.d so that is where you'd want to place your custom .ini files. You should be able to see a list of these files in the "Additional .ini files parsed" section of the PHP Info page.

The actual extensions themselves are stored in /opt/cpanel/ea-php80/root/usr/include/php/ext/ in their respective directories.

I hope that information is useful!
