PHP SSH2 DETAILS
=====================================================================

SSH2 is simply a extension to PHP which will allow secure communications between the webserver and the remote game servers.
SSH2 is more than likely not installed on any shared web spaces so I recommend a Virtual Private Server.

If you are not familair with linux commands and do not feel confortable installing SSH2,
we offer FREE WEB HOSTING for SWIFT Panel. We would give you a subdomain of swiftpanel.com which you
can easily setup a redirect from your domain to hide the subdomain. Your clients will not ever know they left your domain.

Contact support@swiftpanel.com for any questions!

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
=====================================================================

Upload a php script <?=phpinfo();?> to find "Configuration File (php.ini) Path" and "extension_dir".

I am using CentOS 5 with cPanel and PHP 5.2.6 with Apache 2.2.
Here are my paths:
Configuration File: /usr/local/lib
extension_dir: /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613

You need these values to know where to upload the ssh2.so to and where to edit the php.ini file.

The following example is for CentOS 5.x w/ cPanel.

Update or install: (Most of these should be installed already if you use cPanel)

automake

php-devel

libtool

openssl-devel

gcc++

Install libssh2

cd /usr/src

wget http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourcef.....tar.gz

tar -zxf libssh2-1.0.tar.gz

cd libssh2-1.0

./configure

make all install

cd /usr/src

rm -Rf libssh2-1.0

rm -f libssh2-1.0.tar.gz

Install ssh2 PHP bindings

cd /usr/lib/php (Path might differ on your server) (Most likely /usr/lib/php4 if you are using PHP 4)

wget http://pecl.php.net/get/ssh2-0.11.0.tgz

tar -zxf ssh2-0.11.0.tgz

cd ssh2-0.11.0

phpize && ./configure --with-ssh2 && make

cd modules

mv ssh2.so /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613 (Replace with your Extension Path)

cd /usr/lib/php (Path might differ on your server)

rm -Rf ssh2-0.11.0

rm -f ssh2-0.11.0.tgz

Edit PHP settings

vi /usr/local/lib/php.ini (Replace with your Configuration Path)

extension_dir = "/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613" (Replace with your Extension Path)

extension = ssh2.so

Restart Apache

service httpd restart

You can run "php -m" and see if ssh2 is listed.
