Excerpt

You need to run yum in order to use PHP after setup your CentOS 8. Even though you have httpd, PHP may need to be installed manually. For compatibility with various applications like PHPMyAdmin, PHP-based server management, you will need to install additional libraries.

First of all, you need to check if you have httpd on your CentOS 8 server as following:

...

If it does not exist, you can install it simple as following:

Code Block
sudo yum -y install httpd

If everything is okay, please run below commands to install PHP packages you need.

Code Block
sudo yum -y update
sudo yum -y install epel-release yum-utils
sudo yum -y install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-8.rpm
sudo yum -y update
sudo yum -y install php php-common php-devel php-bcmath php-gd php-pdo php-pear php-mysqlnd php-mbstring php-xml tidy php-tidy php-soap php-pecl-apcu php-pecl-ssh2 mcrypt php-mcrypt php-pecl-memcache php-intl php-zip redis ImageMagick-devel

wget http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/8/remi/x86_64/php72-php-pecl-ssh2-1.2-1.el8.remi.x86_64.rpm

You may need to install php-pcel-ssh2 as following

Actually I faced below errors while I install PHP packages

...

sudo yum -y install curl policycoreutils openssh-server openssh-clients postfix
sudo yum -y update


Once you install above, ssh connection will be blocked by firewall in some cases. If you want to stop firewalld, you should run:

Code Block
sudo systemctl stop firewalld
sudo systemctl disable firewalld
