Installing custom php5 as cgi module

I often need modules that are not enabled by default at my hosting @pair.com. Solution is to install a custom php.cgi module.

1. Download latest php source from php.net
2. unzip to phpdir (call it whatever you want)

'./configure' '--with-config-file-path=phpdir' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-bcmath' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local' '--with-gd' '--with-freetype-dir' '--without-msql' '--with-mysql=/usr/local' '--with-mysqli' '--with-pdo-mysql' '--with-iodbc' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--without-gdbm' '--with-ndbm' '--without-db2' '--without-dbm' '--with-gettext' '--without-readline' '--without-recode' '--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl' '--with-mcrypt' '--without-db3' '--enable-dba' '--with-curl' '--with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--enable-calendar' '--with-mhash' '--with-xsl' '--enable-mbstring=all' '--enable-mbregex' '--with-bz2' '--enable-exif' '--with-gmp' '--with-iconv' '--with-pspell' '--with-libxml-dir' '--enable-ftp' '--prefix=phpdir' '--exec-prefix=phpdir' '--program-suffix=5' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect' '--enable-discard-path'

3. nice make
4. make install

after these commands you will get php.cgi file in phpdir/bin folder.

5. copy it to some cgi-bin direcotry and make executable

6. add .htaccess file with the following instructions:

#PHP with security wrap provided by Pair
Action application/x-pair-sphpx /cgi-sys/php-cgiwrap/_Your_username_here/php5.cgi
AddType application/x-pair-sphpx .php .php3 .phtml .php4

Congratulations. It works!

Godaddy: access by IP address

If you want to switch your hosting to Godaddy shared service you need to ftp files somehow. One of the options is Java ftp manager provided in control panel. But easier to connect using IP address. How do I get one?

When open Java ftp manager - it shows IP adress of the server you connect...
