Hardened PHP does not install on Plesk/AlmaLinux

Issue

HardenedPHP can't be installed on the server due to the dependencies issue for the libgearman package.

# imunify360-agent features install hardened-php

/var/log/imunify360/install-hardenedphp.log.71690

Environment

• Imunify360
• HardenedPHP
• AlmaLinux 8

Solution

1. As a solution, the libgearman package can be installed from the EPEL repo.

# dnf -y install epel-release
# imunify360-agent features install hardened-php

2. After that, the EPEL repo should be disabled:

# dnf config-manager --set-disabled epel
# dnf config-manager --set-disabled epel-modular

Cause

The alt-php72-pecl-ext-1-74.el8.x86_64 package depends on the libgearman that should be installed from the EPEL repo.
