How to install php on Alibaba Cloud server

Alibaba Cloud Server is a completely independent and controllable cloud computing server with powerful performance and stable operating environment. Users can build websites, applications, etc. on it. However, Alibaba Cloud servers do not install PHP by default, so when using PHP websites or applications, you need to install PHP first. This article will introduce how to install PHP on Alibaba Cloud server.

Step 1: Log in to the server

First, you need to log in to the Alibaba Cloud server remotely. You can use the SSH tool to log in. Under the Windows platform, you can use SSH clients such as Putty; under the Linux or Mac platform, you can log in directly using the terminal.

Step 2: Install the yum source

In order to facilitate installation and maintenance, you need to configure the yum source first. Enter the following command in the terminal to install epel-release and remi sources:

yum install epel-release
rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm

Step 3: Install PHP

Before installing PHP, you need to install PHP's dependent modules. Enter the following command in the terminal:

yum install php php-fpm php-mysql php-pdo php-gd php-xml php-mbstring

After the installation is complete, you can check the PHP version by running the following command:

php -v

Step 4: Configure PHP

By default, PHP Will run as an Apache module. We can configure PHP according to our needs. Enter the following command in the terminal to enter the PHP configuration file:

vim /etc/php.ini

You can modify some configurations in the configuration file, such as modifying the time zone, upload file size limit, etc. After the modification is completed, use the :wq command to save and exit.

Step 5: Test PHP

In order to confirm that PHP is installed properly, we can create a test file to verify. Enter the following command in the terminal:

echo "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" > /var/www/html/test.php

This command will create a file named test.php in the /var/www/html directory and write a line of code to the file. We can enter the server IP address in the browser (for example http://12.34.56.78/test.php). If the PHP information page appears, it means that PHP is installed successfully.
