Drupal and other software can take advantage of a nice upload progress bar. Here is how to get that working on CentOS.
You may have seen this in Drupal. Let’s fix it!
First, in CentOS 5 install these packages:
yum install php-pear gcc make php-devel
Next as root, issue:
pecl install uploadprogress
Once that completes, add this to /etc/php.ini
extension=uploadprogress.so
Finally save, and restart apache:
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
Done!
