How to install LAMP (APACHE-PHP-MARIADB) on centos 7

 

I.Preparation

Install epel and remi repositories. Get the reference link here Click Here

Updtae the system

# yum update -y

II.Proceeding

Step 1 : INstall httpd

# yum install httpd -y

Restart httpd service

# systemctl start httpd.service

Let apache start together with the system 

# systemctl enable httpd.service

On CentOS 7.0  Firewall-cmd is used so you customize it using this command 

For example you open the gateways 80 and 3306

# firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp

# firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=3306/tcp

Reload filewall 

# firewall-cmd --reload 

To test whether httpd is active or not, visit your http://ip-vps. If this image appears you've succeeded 

Step 2 : Install php

Use yum command to install php

# yum install -y php 

By default document roots of the web are  / var / www / html. Now you creat a small PHP file <info.php> in that folder and call it in a browser. These files will display many useful details about our PHP installation such as PHP versions installed 

# nano /var/www/html/info.php

In the file info.php there is a content

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

 reset  httpd

# systemctl restart httpd.service

Visit your IP address http://<ip server>/info.php If this image appears you've succeeded

*Note : you should delete the file  info.php after testing 

# rm -rf /var/www/html/info.php

To prepare for MySQL installation you need to install a few php packages as follows 

# yum -y install php-mysql

# yum -y install php-gd php-ldap php-odbc php-pear php-xml php-xmlrpc php-mbstring php-snmp php-soap curl curl-devel

Restart apache 

# systemctl restart httpd.service

Step 3 : Install MariaDB

Use yum command to install

# yum -y install mariadb-server mariadb

Let mariadb start together with the system 

#  systemctl enable mariadb.service

Start mariadb service

# systemctl start mariadb.service

See mariadb status

# systemctl status mariadb

Set a password for MySQL root account:

# mysql_secure_installation

There will be these following sentences

[root@maxserver]# mysql_secure_installation
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation: line 379: find_mysql_client: command not found

NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB
      SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE!  PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!

In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user.  If you've just installed MariaDB, and
you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so you should just press enter here.

Enter current password for root (enter for none):
OK, successfully used password, moving on...

Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MariaDB
root user without the proper authorisation.

Set root password? [Y/n] y select Y and enter your password  
New password:
Re-enter new password:
Password updated successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
 ... Success!


By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for
them.  This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother.  You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y select Y
 ... Success!

Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'.  This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.

Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y select Y 
 ... Success!

By default, MariaDB comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
access.  This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.

Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y select Y
 - Dropping test database...
 ... Success!
 - Removing privileges on test database...
 ... Success!

Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.

Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y Select Y
 ... Success!

Cleaning up...

All done!  If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
installation should now be secure.

Thanks for using MariaDB!
