Newrelic extension

Issue

1. We see the newrelic PHP extension in the PHP selector. Does this start the newrelic daemon when the extension is enabled on a specific site?
2. Where does a user put the license key? Can we just make an ini file in /etc/cl.php.d/alt-php74/newrelic.ini for the license details?

Environment

• Cloudlinux PHP Selector

Solution

1. The NewRelic service is not running automatically when you enable extension for the end user. You need to start the service manually using the following command:

   # systemctl start alt-phpXX-newrelic-daemon.service
   

   where XX depends on ALT-PHP version.

2. Yes, you can put the license key into the "newrelic.ini" file for the end user:

   # su -s /bin/bash USERNAME
   # nano /etc/cl.php.d/alt-php74/newrelic.ininewrelic.license="YOUR LICENSE KEY"
