A quick list of CENTOS 7 basic web server installation (LAMP) for web developers

Hi, today I would like to share you a quick list of installing CENTOS 7 Linux for web development purposes which composed with Apache + PHP5.6 + MariaDB by the time of this writing.

I expected that you have already inserted the CD/DVD installer to your machine, formatted and partitioned. If not yet then please click this link first before you proceed to this tutorial.

Note: I frequently update this post whenever there are changes in my setup.

1.) yum update
2.) reboot
3.) rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY*
4.) yum -y install epel-release
5.) yum update
6.) yum -y install mariadb-server mariadb
7.) systemctl start mariadb.service
8.) systemctl enable mariadb.service
9.) mysql_secure_installation

10.)Enter current password for root (enter for none): <--ENTER

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

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] <--ENTER
 ... Success!

Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] <--ENTER
 ... Success!

Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] <--ENTER
 - Dropping test database...

11.) yum -y install httpd
12.) systemctl start httpd.service
13.) systemctl enable httpd.service

14.) Add port to pass through the firewall
#firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=http
#firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=5000/tcp
#firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=https

15.) Reload the firewall service for the changes to take effect
#firewall-cmd --reload
16.) Then check if the ports are already open/listening
#firewall-cmd --list-ports

17.) yum install wget

18.) http://www.techoism.com/how-to-upgrade-php-version-5-4-to-5-6-on-centosrhel/
 php -v
 rpm -Uvh https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el7/epel-release.rpm
 rpm -Uvh https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el7/webtatic-release.rpm

19.) yum install -y php56w php56w-opcache php56w-xml php56w-mcrypt php56w-gd php56w-devel php56w-mysql php56w-intl php56w-mbstring php56w-soap php56w-xmlrpc
20.) systemctl restart httpd.service
21.) php -v
22.) nano /var/www/html/info.php
 <?php
phpinfo();
?>
https://webtatic.com/packages/php56/

23.) Now reload http://192.168.0.100/info.php in your browser and scroll down to the modules section again. You should now find lots of new modules like curl etc there.:
24.) yum install phpMyAdmin
25.) nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf
Now we configure phpMyAdmin. We change the Apache configuration so that phpMyAdmin allows connections not just from localhost (by commenting out the <Directory "/usr/share/phpmyadmin"> stanza):
[...]
Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin
Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin

#<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
#   <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
#     # Apache 2.4
#     <RequireAny>
#       Require ip 127.0.0.1
#       Require ip ::1
#     </RequireAny>
#   </IfModule>
#   <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
#     # Apache 2.2
#     Order Deny,Allow
#     Deny from All
#     Allow from 127.0.0.1
#     Allow from ::1
#   </IfModule>
#</Directory>


<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
        Options none
        AllowOverride Limit
        Require all granted
</Directory>

[...]

26.) nano /etc/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php
[...]
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']     = 'http';    // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)?
[...]

27.) systemctl restart  httpd.service
Afterwards, you can access phpMyAdmin under http://192.168.0.100/phpmyadmin/:


28.) Enabling Mod_Rewrite for WebApp
https://devops.profitbricks.com/tutorials/install-and-configure-mod_rewrite-for-apache-on-centos-7/
nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
<Directory "/var/www/html">
Change "AllowOverride Off" to "AllowOverride All"

MySQL Login
mysql -u root -p
//Using password NO error
CREATE USER 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'username'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
CREATE USER 'username'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'username'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

nano /etc/php.ini
display_errors = On/Off
upload_max_filesize = 1000M
post_max_size = 2000M
memory_limit = 3000M
file_uploads = On
max_execution_time = 180

29.) firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=mysql
30.) firewall-cmd --reload
31.) yum install zip
yum install unzip

unzip pics.zip  -d /tmp
