Install Apache, PHP5 And MySQL Support On CentOS 6.5
Apache is available as a CentOS package, therefore we can install it like this:
#yum -y install httpd
Now configure your system to start Apache at boot time…
#chkconfig –levels 235 httpd on
and now start Apache:
#/etc/init.d/httpd start
To install MySQL, we do this:
#yum -y install mysql mysql-server
Then we create the system startup links for MySQL (so that MySQL starts automatically whenever the system boots) and start the MySQL server:
#chkconfig –levels 235 mysqld on
#/etc/init.d/mysqld start
Set passwords for the MySQL root account:
#mysql_secure_installation
We can install PHP5 and the Apache PHP5 module as follows:
#yum -y install php
We must restart Apache afterwards:
#/etc/init.d/httpd restart
Now its important to get the mysql support with php to get your application works:
To get MySQL support in PHP, we can install the php-mysql package.
#yum -y install php-mysql
In the next step I will install some common PHP modules that are required by CMS Systems like WordPress, Joomla and Drupal:
#yum -y install php-gd php-imap php-ldap php-odbc php-pear php-xml php-xmlrpc php-mbstring php-mcrypt php-mssql php-snmp php-soap php-tidy curl curl-devel
Now restart Apache2:
#/etc/init.d/httpd restart
And you are done with it 😀
