php 5.2.17 on cpanel and curl

Saahib

I have a stupid requirement where I have to use PHP version 5.2.17 until some old sites incompatible with new version of PHP get updated.

So, this server runs cPanel.. cPanel now don't support 5.2.17, but with custom_opt_mods you can still get 5.2.17 support.
Here is the link how it has to be done and this is what I have done:
http://syslint.com/syslint/how-to-install-php-5-2-on-cpanelwhm-11-40/

Now problem is that cPanel easyapache wont' work good with 5.2.17 custom_mod. So to compile it with desired option, you have to edit this file:

/var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/all_php5

I have following in it :

-disable-fileinfo
--enable-bcmath
--enable-calendar
--enable-ftp
--enable-libxml
--enable-pdo=shared
--enable-sockets
--prefix=/usr/local
--with-curl=/opt/curlssl/
--with-imap=/opt/php_with_imap_client/
--with-imap-ssl=/usr
--with-kerberos
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib64/
--with-gd
--with-libdir=lib64
--with-libxml-dir=/opt/xml2/
--with-mcrypt=/opt/libmcrypt/
--with-mysql=/usr
--with-mysql-sock=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
--with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config
--with-openssl=/usr
--with-openssl-dir=/usr
--with-pdo-mysql=shared
--with-pdo-sqlite=shared
--with-sqlite=shared
--with-pic
--with-png-dir=/usr/lib64/
--enable-zip
--with-zlib
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib64
--with-pcre-dir=/opt/pcre-8.20
--with-pcre-regex=/opt/pcre-8.20

Now problem I am facing is with curl..

My phpinfo shows curl support as :

But here developer needs like this :

So, any idea what I need to do ?
Earlier it was compiled with --with-curl option, I recompiled with --with-curl=/opt/curlssl but no difference.

try --with-curl=/opt/curl or try just --with-curl

Can you run those sites in a chroot or containered environment and use redirect rules?

Using 5.2.x is just begging for your site to be hacked.
