*wow* this should become a production webserver and you have no idea
why everybody and his brother can access userhomes?

why do you not hire someone with a clue?

what about asking for help with specific querstions and problem
descriptions if you are about?

this way below you get ffmpeg with a *static linked* recent x264
well you need to switch the path because obviously the fool built
you installed package is still using /usr/local/ and enable some
things i do not need

but the point is i can install the this way built package parallel
to the Fedora ones (even both as RPM because i never ever would build
as root or install without making a distribution package) and i replaced
the rpm-macros with direct commands and paths for you........

what is a ffmpe startup script?

i do not believe you need libfdk-aac *and* libfaac
they are doing *the same*

do yourself and the internet a favor and do *not* connect servers
in such a braindead timeline to the internet while you have no
clue how your operating system works - why does everybody and his
brother think he needs to play admin?
