And:
php-rebuild.sh has:

Code: [Select]

rpm -Ivh http://repo.centos-webpanel.com/repo/9/x86_64/libc-client-2007f-30.el9.remi.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Ivh http://repo.centos-webpanel.com/repo/9/x86_64/uw-imap-devel-2007f-30.el9.remi.x86_64.rpmBut rpm gives an error:

Code: [Select]

rpm: -Ivh: unknown option

If you want, send me a PM with the login for SSH & the panel and I'll try & see what's going on.

Have you tried capturing php-rebuild.sh under /usr/local/src and then running it in the CLI? Some have reported success doing that vs. trying to build a new PHP version in the web GUI.

It looks like the problem is caused by the incorrect options. I think the commands should be:

Code: [Select]

rpm -ivh http://repo.centos-webpanel.com/repo/9/x86_64/libc-client-2007f-30.el9.remi.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh http://repo.centos-webpanel.com/repo/9/x86_64/uw-imap-devel-2007f-30.el9.remi.x86_64.rpm
Also, does CWP installs REMI repo on EL9 systems ? If not then it is better to disable REMI at least while you install/compile PHP.

Additionally, I recommend you to disable "BZ2" support in PHP settings and check if PHP can be compiled with BZ2 disabled.

FYI, those packages are already installed...

Ref: https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/9/

I believe CWP must use REMI 's PHP versions for easy upgrades IMhO...

Additionally, I recommend you to disable "BZ2" support in PHP settings and check if PHP can be compiled with BZ2 disabled.

Disabling BZ2, the error line

Code: [Select]

configure: error: bz2 module requires libbz2 >= 1.0.0 dissapears, but the second code in my first code becomes:

Still PHP stuck at 7.4.33

CWP does NOT use the PHP Remi Repos.
If you try to use them with CWP, it will break all sorts of things.

CWP compiles PHP from the source file and then adds in options from PECL.
