In my previous post I have posted the LAMP configuration in centos 6 and also how to install the wordpress.
Here I took joomla open source for installing and configuring of LAMP for centos 7.
There is no difference between centos 6 and centos 7 the version only changed. And there is slight difference in commands used in SSH.
LAMP-indicates Linux, Apache, mysql and php.
The LAMP Components includes,
- Operating system – Linux (e.g. CentOS)
- Web server – Apache
- Database – MySQL
- Programming language – PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor)
Steps to Install Apache:
Installing and configuring a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack on CentOS 7 involves a series of steps. Here’s a simplified guide to help you set it up:
Step 1: Update System
Make sure your system is up-to-date:
sudo yum update
Step 2: Install Apache
Install the Apache web server:
sudo yum install httpd
Start and enable Apache to run on system boot:
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd
Step 3: Install MySQL
Install the MySQL (MariaDB) server:
sudo yum install mariadb-server
Start and enable MySQL:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
Run the MySQL secure installation script to set a root password and secure your installation
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Step 4: Install PHP
Install PHP and necessary modules
sudo yum install php php-mysql
Step 5: Configure Apache to use PHP
Edit the Apache configuration file to enable PHP:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Add the following lines at the end of the file:
<FilesMatch \.php$>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
Save and exit the editor.
Step 6: Restart Apache
Restart Apache to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Step 7: Test Your LAMP Stack
Create a PHP info file to test your installation:
echo "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" | sudo tee /var/www/html/info.php
Open your web browser and navigate to http://your_server_ip/info.php. You should see a PHP info page.
Step 8: Firewall Configuration
If you have a firewall enabled, allow HTTP and HTTPS traffic:
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=https
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Now, your LAMP stack on CentOS 7 should be set up and ready for use. Keep in mind that this is a basic configuration, and you may need to adjust settings based on your specific requirements and security considerations.
