You can't just do a simple yum install, but it doesn't look all that bad. Most managed hosting providers will do this sort of thing for you. Have you opened a ticket with your host?

[ultimatewebhost]

Any of the following commands and you'll be fine;

yum install libssh2-devel

OR

pecl install ssh2-beta

Then DO;

echo extension=ssh2.so >> /etc/php.ini

Now, you can restart your web server, and check a phpinfo page to verify the installation!

Make sure you perform these commands as root.

Download libssh2 from http://www.libssh2.org/snapshots/lib…0091001.tar.gz

tar -zxvf libssh.x.x.tar.gz

./configure

make all install

Download the pecl-ssh2 installer from http://pecl.php.net/get/ssh2-0.10.tgz

tar -zxvf ssh2-0.11.0.tgz
cd ssh2-0.11.0
phpize

./configure –with-ssh2

make

Copy ssh2.so to your extension_dir specified in php.ini.

grep extension_dir /usr/local/Zend/etc/php.ini
cp modules/ssh2.so /path/to/extension/dir

Then add the extension to your php.ini:
extension=ssh2.so

I am looking for a similar Tutorial on this.

I am wanting to take a simple VPS and use it as a HUB. To hub multiple VPS servers, so i can utilize all of the VPS's at once.

Only problem is I know the in's and out's of the process, but not the actually installation process.

If someone could write up a TuT on how to carry out this process that would be awesome.

Regard's
