Here is a quick how to guide on setting up a web server on Centos 6

Run this script…

sudo yum update -y
sudo yum install httpd -y
sudo yum install php-mysql php php-xml php-mcrypt php-mbstring php-cli php-gd mysql -y
sudo yum install php-devel -y
sudo yum install mysql-server -y
sudo yum install openssh-clients -y
sudo yum install wget -y
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh remi-release-6*.rpm epel-release-6*.rpm

### Once installed you should see some additional repo definitions under the /etc/yum.repos.d directory. ###

ls -1 /etc/yum.repos.d/epel* /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo

### You should see:

/etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/epel-testing.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo

### Enable the remi repository ###

The remi repository provides a variety of up-to-date packages that are useful or are a requirement for many popular web-based services. That means it generally is not a bad idea to enable the remi repositories by default.

First, open the /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo repository file using a text editor of your choice:

sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo

### Edit the [remi] portion of the file so that the enabled option is set to 1. This will enable the remi repository. ###

name=Les RPM de remi pour Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch
#baseurl=http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/$releasever/remi/$basearch/
mirrorlist=http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/$releasever/remi/mirror
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi
failovermethod=priority

### Install mcrypt ##############

sudo yum -y install php-mcrypt

 

### adjusting apache config ###

sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

### Scroll all the way down the the bottom of the Config file by pressing G (Shift + g) then press “a” so you can start manipulating the file.

### paste the following 4 lines and adjust the document root and the ip address

DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerName 1.2.3.4

### Sroll up until you find ###

DirectoryIndex and replace with the following line:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.sh default.jsp

### make sure DocumentRoot is set to

/var/etc/html

### Remove # infront of NameVirtualHost

the press “Esc” and then type ZZ (two capital Z’s)

### Finally, start the Apache server using the command:

sudo service httpd start
