Help with ffmpeg on Godaddy

Im using Godaddy's linux shared shosting server. i need to install ffmpeg but I'm having trouble without the use of SSH.

Is there anyway that ffmpeg can be installed on the server to would I need to move servers to one that is compatiable with ffmpeg.

 

I don't believe that you can install ffmpeg on a Godaddy shared account.

 

I doubt you can install it without root access.

Kailash

 

Cant do it with shared hosting

 

yes, ffmpeg can be only install by the root user. Either you get yourself a vps or get godaddy to install ffmpeg for you.

i know this is an old thread but GoDaddy now provide SSH with shared hosting with some restrictions and i am wondering if there is any way to install ffmpeg on this?

there key command which don't work (MAKE, SVN, PASSWD) i'm sure there are more but any help would be appreciated

thanks

 

No.
ffmpeg and related tools can only be install if you have root access. I am sure godaddy does not give root access its shared hosting customers. request Godaddy to install it for you or look for another host.

 

thanks for the reply - godaddy are unwilling to install ffmpeg on shared hosting. i have a vps acc as well with another provider but i can't get ffmpeg installed. i have tried about 6 tutorials today and non of them seem to work.

can you advise on one which does?

CentOS 5.3 - linux - apache 2

 

I would be able to reply better, if you tell me what exactly did you do & what error you are facing?

 

Okay, I have Installed it on your server.
here is the output:
http://www.mp3wap.net/phpinfo.php

ffmpeg-php version 	0.6.3
ffmpeg-php built on 	Jun 6 2009 14:00:16
ffmpeg-php gd support 	enabled
ffmpeg libavcodec version 	Lavc51.40.4
ffmpeg libavformat version 	Lavf51.12.1 

Code (markup):

I think you have previously tried to install which resulted in few broken libs. I have fixed that too.

Let me know if you need any further help

 

completely forgot to thank you on this...

THANKS pal

In Godaddy shared hosting u can't install ffmpeg in their shared hosting but there are many shared hosting provider have ffmpeg preinstalled in there shared hosting plan. so look for them.
