Enabling the Video module in PHPFox

Video module in PHPFox depends on third party script, the feature of upload and convert video is disabled by default. We have to be enabled this feature. First need to find out FFMPEG and MENCODER is installed or not then you can find the right path to them. During install process find right paths, if you don’t able to find right path then change them from direct admin CP.

Follow these steps:

AdminCP>>settings>>manage settings>>video

Look for path FFMPEG AND MENCODER

Make sure all the paths are correct, if you unsure about path then contact your web host or connect to your web server via SSH.

If you have connected to your server via SSH execute this command.

whereis ffmpeg

It would show something like this

ffmpeg: /usr/bin/ffmpeg /usr/X11R6/bin/ffmpeg /usr/bin/X11/ffmpeg /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg /usr/share/man/man1/ffmpeg.1.gz

The full path would then be:

/usr/bin/ffmpeg

This same method needs to be done for mencoder.
Once you have entered the correct path enable this option

Enable Uploading of Videos


Once enabled submit the form and the script will attempt to connect to both scripts and if successful it will enable this feature. If unable to connect to the scripts a set of error message(s) will appear to guide you on what is wrong.
