You may receive the error “-bash: phpize: command not found” while executing the “phpize” command. The reason is the php-devel package is not installed on the server. The easiest way to install the package is to use ‘yum’.
SSH to your server as root and execute:
# yum install php-devel
Once done, you should be able to execute the command ‘phpize’.
The error message “Can’t create/write to file /tmp/” appears when any application tries to write it’s temporary files to the /tmp directory and the /tmp directory don’t have a world writable permissions. To fix the issue, make sure the /tmp directory have 777 permissions.
1) SSH to your server as root.
2) Set the permissions of /tmp directory
# chmod 1777 /tmp
3) To verify the permissions, execute
# ls -ld /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 6 root root 4096 Aug 25 11:23 /tmp/
Once done, the website/application should work fine.
Update: If “mysql_fix_privilege_tables” command does not exist, look at Section 2.
You may receive a “Table ‘mysql.servers’ doesn’t exist” error message while adding a database user in Plesk OR while restarting the Mysql service. The complete error message look like:
Error: Connection to the database server has failed: Table 'mysql.servers' doesn't exist
OR
Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.servers' doesn't exist
The problem mostly occurs when Mysql is upgraded which introduce newer version of tables and the default Mysql database is not aware of these changes. The “mysql_fix_privilege_tables” command is use to update the Mysql database with the latest contents of the newer version and to fix the privileges of the database users as well.
Section 1:
To fix the issue, SSH to your server and execute:
On a plain Linux OR Linux/cPanel server:
# mysql_fix_privilege_tables --user=root\ --password=mysqlpasswordhere --verbose
On a Linux/Plesk server:
# mysql_fix_privilege_tables --user=admin\ --password=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` --verbose
where, –verbose will display the detailed output.
Section 2:
mysql_upgrade command have superseded mysql_fix_privilege_tables. mysql_fix_privilege_tables is an older script that previously was used to upgrade the system tables in the Mysql database .
To fix the issue, you need to replace mysql_fix_privilege_tables with mysql_upgrade in the above stated commands, i.e.
On a plain Linux OR Linux/cPanel server:
# mysql_upgrade --user=root --password=mysqlpasswordhere --verbose
On a Linux/Plesk server:
# mysql_upgrade --user=admin\ --password=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` --verbose
The error message “make: *** [ffmpeg_frame.lo] Error 1” is received while compiling ffmpeg-php and the reason is the missing ffmpeg_frame.lo file. The ffmpeg-php directory contains a ‘ffmpeg_frame.loT’ file which actually should be ‘ffmpeg_frame.lo’.
The solution is to rename the file ffmpeg_frame.loT to ffmpeg_frame.lo. Go to the directory
# cd /path/to/directory/ffmpeg-php-0.x.x
and rename the file
# cp ffmpeg_frame.loT ffmpeg_frame.lo
Once done, compile ffmpeg-php again.

Unable to load dynamic library ffmpeg.so OR error PIX_FMT_RGBA32
The “loading shared libraries” error message is received when ffmpeg is not able to locate the file libavdevice.so.52.This happens when either the file is missing from the server OR ffmpeg is not looking at the path the file is in.
The ffmpeg command outputs the following error:
# ffmpeg ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libavdevice.so.52: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Solution:
Search the file libavdevice.so.52 on the server using the ‘find’ command
# find / -name libavdevice.so.52
The output will display the complete path to the file for example, /usr/local/lib/libavdevice.so.52 and you need to add the directory path “/usr/local/lib” in the ‘ld.so.conf’ file.
# vi /etc/ld.so.conf
and add the following at the bottom of the file
/usr/local/lib
Save the file and for the new changes to take effect, execute
# ldconfig
