I'm trying to run OpenCPU on a CentOS 7 dedicated server that is already running WHM and CloudLinux.
The first step was to install dependencies :
yum install rpm-build make wget tar httpd-devel libapreq2-devel R-devel libcurl-devel protobuf-devel openssl-devel libxml2-devel libicu-devel libssh2-devel
One of the requirements of OpenCPU installation is "libapreq2-devel" which depends on "httpd-mmn" :
Error: Package: libapreq2-2.13-13.el7.x86_64 (epel)
**Requires: httpd-mmn = 20120211x8664**
Error: Package: libapreq2-devel-2.13-13.el7.x86_64 (epel)
**Requires: httpd-devel >= 2.0.48**
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
After I removed temporarily "httpd*" from the exclude list of yum configuration file (etc/yum.conf) and tried the command above again, I got this new error :
Error: **ea-apache24 conflicts with httpd-2.4.6-90.el7.cloudlinux.x86_64**
Error: Package: libapreq2-devel-2.13-13.el7.x86_64 (epel)

Before digging deeper, anyone tried to do the same and run OpenCPU alongside WHM installation ? And would that be a reliable solution to run on a production environment?
I'm not sure what you did, but maybe you can see how the centos 7 docker image does it:
If you install the opencpu-server precompiled binaries you don't need these
-develpackages.
