Here are the steps to install the PHP SSH2 extention on RHEL 5.6 with the EPEL repository.
|
1 |
yum install php-pear php-devel libssh2 libssh2-devel |
|
1 |
mount -o remount,exec /tmp |
|
1 |
pecl install channel://pecl.php.net/ssh2-0.11.3 |
|
1 |
mount -o remount,noexec /tmp |
|
1 |
/sbin/service httpd reload |
Server is a MediaTemple “ve” server which is a Parallels Virtuozzo container with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid installed as the operating system.
The first step is to install packages:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
apt-get update apt-get install mysql-server apt-get install apache2 apt-get install php5 apt-get install php5-mysql |
Now set mysql service to start automatically:
|
1 2 |
update-rc.d mysql defaults service mysql start |
Next create a database for wordpress:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
mysql -p -u root create database wordpress; grant all privileges on wordpress.* to 'wordpress'@'localhost' identified by 'YOURNEWPASS'; flush privileges; exit; |
Next we’ll download and install wordpress:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
cd /root wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz tar -xvzf /root/latest.tar.gz rsync -avz wordpress/ /var/www/ rm /var/www/index.html cp /var/www/wp-config-sample.php /var/www/wp-config.php |
Now set the database credentials in /var/www/wp-config.php:
|
1 2 3 |
replace 'database_name_here' 'wordpress' -- /var/www/wp-config.php replace 'username_here' 'wordpress' -- /var/www/wp-config.php replace 'password_here' 'YOURNEWPASS' -- /var/www/wp-config.php |
Finally point your web browser to the site and run the WordPress installer.
It is of course a bad idea to write code that depends on register_globals for security reason, but sometimes when faced with old code it’s a necessary evil. You can turn on register_globals for a site or directory by adding the following line to your .htaccess file:
|
1 |
php_flag register_globals on |
If you have a server with PHP4 installed but need PHP5 on some websites then:
|
1 2 3 |
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php ScriptAlias /bin /opt/php51/cgi-bin Action application/x-httpd-php5 /bin/php5 |
You might also find the RemoveHandler directive handy to disable PHP4.
If you need PHP4 on a CentOS5/RHEL5 server then you’ll find the RPMs linked below very handy. They install to /opt/php4 and can coexist with a default PHP 5 install.
The included conf.d/php4.conf file includes sample lines to run it as a CGI or as a module.
