Step 4: Installing PHP Modules
Do not forget to accept installation and type Y when you asked while installation. After installation run following command which will be useful while rebooting server(linux). After rebooting server following service will automatically started. —— Enable Apache and MySQL on Boot ——
# chkconfig --levels 235 httpd on # chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on
—— Start Apache and MySQL ——
# /etc/init.d/httpd start # /etc/init.d/mysqld start
Verify PHP 5.5
Go to /var/www/html directoy and create file called phpinfo.php using following command.
#vi phpinfo.php
put following code in that file.
<?php echo phpinfo(); ?>
Execute php.info file on your web browser
You can check your installation on command prompt also. For checking php modules use following command.
#Php -m
above command will list all php modules which are installed on your centos machine
