How to add additional binaries commands to CageFS users in CloudLinux

[Mandeep]

The binaries for ffmpeg are installed on my server but the application installed under the user home directory doesn't pick it up.

If you are using Cloudlinux then you will have to will have to add these additional binaries/commands so that all the users on the server can use them after CageFS has been updated.




SSH the server using root credentials.

nano /etc/cagefs/conf.d/binutils.cfg

First, check the location of FFmpeg using which command.

[root@sh84 bin]# which ffmpeg
/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

Then update the file with below code.

[binutils]
comment=common utils
paths=/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

Add additional paths using ;

Finally, update cageFS.

cagefsctl --force-update

That's it !!
