PHP solution server setup

In today's Internet era, servers are the key equipment for hosting websites and applications, and various languages ​​are also the best choices for creating websites and applications. Among them, PHP is a widely used scripting language and is widely used on the server side. This article will explain aspects such as setting up a server and installing PHP. I hope it will be helpful to beginners.

1. Select a server

First, we need to select a server. If you want to build a small website or application, you can choose to use a virtual private server, (VPS). VPS is a virtual host server with independent IP, independent system and exclusive resources. And if you want to build a large website or application, it is recommended to choose a dedicated server because it has more powerful processing power, larger storage space and higher security performance.

2. Select the operating system

There are many server operating systems, including Windows and various Linux distributions. As a popular server operating system, Linux has many versions to choose from, such as CentOS, Ubuntu, etc. Among them, CentOS is a very popular server operating system, which is more stable than other operating systems and has extensive support.

3. Install LAMP

LAMP is a commonly used server environment, consisting of four components: Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. After selecting the CentOS operating system, we can install the LAMP environment through the command line. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Open the SSH client and connect to your server;
2. Run the following command to update your system: sudo yum update;
3. Install Apache server: sudo yum install httpd;
4. Install MySQL server: sudo yum install mysql-server;
5. Install PHP: sudo yum install php;
6. Install php-mysql module :sudo yum install php-mysql;
7. Start the Apache server and MySQL server: sudo service httpd start and sudo service mysqld start.

These commands install the LAMP environment on your server and implement a basic web server and MySQL database. Finally, you can enter the server's IP address in your browser to confirm whether the installation is successful. If the browser can successfully access your web server, the environment has been installed.

4. Configure PHP

PHP programmers can write and test PHP code on the server. By default, PHP has some security restrictions that restrict the use of some PHP functions. We can remove security restrictions by editing the configuration file.

1. Open the configuration file: sudo vi /etc/php.ini;
2. Find disable_functions and set it to an empty string: disable_functions = "";
3. Find open_basedir and set it to the empty string: open_basedir = "";
4. Save and close the file.

5. Conclusion

This article introduces you to how to set up a PHP server and install Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP environments. We also learned how to configure PHP to remove security restrictions.
