Guide to getting MySQLdb installed for Python/MySQL to work on cPanel(11)/centOS(5.4). First you need to check if you need any of these installed (I didn’t).
yum install python-devel yum install MySQL-devel yum install zlib-devel yum install openssl-devel
This one I did need was, python-setuptools this basically allows to; Download, build, install, upgrade, and uninstall Python packages - as it says on the Python website.
yum install python-setuptools.noarch
Ok lets get started. run this from your cmd line/bash.
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mysql-python/mysql-python-test/1.2.3c1/MySQL-python-1.2.3c1.tar.gz && tar xzf MySQL-python-1.2.3c1.tar.gz && cd MySQL-python-1.2.3c1 && python setup.py build && sudo python setup.py install
That’s it your done! 
BTW, this is what I am running environment wise.
cPanel 11.25.0-R44718 - WHM 11.25.0 - X 3.9 CENTOS 5.4 i686 standard
Wow what a pain in the ass! if you happen to be running – COD4 server on centOS 5.2/5.3 with cPGS and punkbuster will not update do this!
Download this “http://cpgs.cpanel.net/pbsetup.run” and upload to your COD4 PunkBuster directory;
cd /home/username/.gameservers/cod4_#/ wget http://cpgs.cpanel.net/pbsetup.run
Register/add server:
./pbsetup.run --i-accept-the-pb-eula -ag cod4 -ap "/home/username/.gameservers/cod4_#"
Run the PB update:
./pbsetup.run --i-accept-the-pb-eula -u
Checks to see if its updated?
./pbsetup.run --i-accept-the-pb-eula -l
Thanks to darren @ cPanel Staff (Admin) – http://forums.cpanel.net/f41/cod4-server-will-not-update-pb-105713.html.
Want to directly download torrent via your remote linux server? use cTorrent (what are Torrents? here).
http://ctorrent.sourceforge.net/
http://www.rahul.net/dholmes/ctorrent/ (enhanced ctorrent).
*Tested on “CENTOS 5.3 i686″.
How to get started? – just copy and paste the below line of text into bash downloads installs everything!
wget http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/dtorrent/ctorrent-dnh3.3.2.tar.gz && tar xzf ctorrent-dnh3.3.2.tar.gz && cd ctorrent-dnh3 && ./configure && make install && hash && ctorrent -h
usage -
ctorrent -s newfilename -e 12 -C 32 -p 6881 filename.torrent //Press 'h' or '?' for help (display/control client options).
Done! Now you should see this screen w/ options (below).
Also check which ports are enabled by using “nmap”.

yum install nmap
Then run this cmd to see which active ports are enabled on your server.
nmap -sS -O 127.0.0.1

FFMPEG.. has to be one of the hardest thing’s to install to a linux box I mean I have tried building this thing about 300x’s over the past week nothing worked! got all these errors and there’s no information on the net about it – like all the tutorial sites don’t go into detail just expecting it to install…
Ok now onto the easy part! haha.. I found an auto installer, called “ffmpeginstall” its been the only one I have found that worked for me! I’m running (cPanel 11 / CENTOS 5.2 i686) this is all you need to do to get started/install;
wget http://ovh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ffmpeginstall/ffmpeginstall.3.2.1.tar.gz && tar xzf ffmpeginstall.3.2.1.tar.gz && cd ffmpeginstall.3.2.1 && sh install.sh
That’s it!!! its amazing

They also have a for Shared Host installer but you will need SSH access more here; http://www.sherin.in/ffmpeg/.
I have tested it with “VidiScript” Free Youtube Clone – www.vidiscript.com and it works perfectly!
Some useful information on my travels.. Came accross one got resource on the net – this has acutual error fixes (even though I got errors while installing FFMPEG and all the rest) > http://www.yail.net/2008/10/installing-ffmpeg-and-ffmpeg-php-on-a-cpanel-server.html.
“Admin-Ahead Server Technologies” auto FFMPEG Installer is pretty nice it can install addtional libarys codecs after compiling FFMPEG so its worth checking out (again this didn’t work but it seems the only reason was for the incorrect file (“ffmpeg_frame.lo”) named bug – something common I have come accross while trying to install manually) error;
make: *** [ffmpeg_frame.lo] Error 1
Thanks to Yun @ Carpe Noctem! – Solution: Execute the following in the ffmpeg-php folder. I’ve no idea why the files are named wrongly too.
cp ffmpeg_frame.loT ffmpeg_frame.lo
