I will add the EPEL repo here to install latest phpMyAdmin as follows:

rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY*

yum -y install epel-release

2 Installing MySQL / MariaDB

MariaDB is a MySQL fork of the original MySQL developer Monty Widenius. MariaDB is
compatible with MySQL and I've chosen to use MariaDB here instead of MySQL. To
install MySQL, we do install MariaDB like this:

yum -y install mariadb-server mariadb

Then we create the system startup links for MySQL (so that MySQL starts
automatically whenever the system boots) and start the MySQL server:

systemctl start mariadb.service

systemctl enable mariadb.service

Set passwords for the MySQL root account:

mysql_secure_installation

[root@server1 ~]# mysql_secure_installation

/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation: line 379: find_mysql_client:
command not found

NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL

MariaDB
SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE! PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!

In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user. If you've just installed MariaDB, and
you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so you should just press enter here.

Enter current password for root (enter for none): <--ENTER

https://www.howtoforge.com/apache_php_mysql_on_centos_7_lamp 2/24
2/1/2021 Install Apache, PHP And MySQL On CentOS 7 (LAMP)

OK, successfully used password, moving on...

Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the
MariaDB
root user without the proper authorisation.

Set root password? [Y/n]

New password: <--yourmariadbpassword
Re-enter new password: <--yourmariadbpassword
Password updated successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
... Success!

By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing

anyone
to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created
for
them. This is intended only for testing, and to make the
installation
go a bit smoother. You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] <--ENTER

... Success!

Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'.

This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the
network.

Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] <--ENTER

... Success!

By default, MariaDB comes with a database named 'test' that anyone

can
access. This is also intended only for testing, and should be
removed
before moving into a production environment.

Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] <--ENTER

- Dropping test database...
... Success!
- Removing privileges on test database...
... Success!

Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so
far
will take effect immediately.
https://www.howtoforge.com/apache_php_mysql_on_centos_7_lamp 3/24
2/1/2021 Install Apache, PHP And MySQL On CentOS 7 (LAMP)

Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] <--ENTER

... Success!

Cleaning up...

All done! If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
installation should now be secure.

Thanks for using MariaDB!

[root@server1 ~]#

3 Installing Apache2

CentOS 7 ships with apache 2.4. Apache2 is directly available as a CentOS 7.0
package, therefore we can install it like this:

yum -y install httpd

[root@server1 ~]# yum install httpd

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: ftp.plusline.de
* extras: mirror.23media.de
* updates: mirror.23media.de
Package httpd-2.4.6-17.el7.centos.1.x86_64 already installed and
latest version
Nothing to do
[root@server1 ~]#

By default apache will be installed, if-not then please install it as shown above

Now configure your system to start Apache at boot time...

systemctl start httpd.service

systemctl enable httpd.service

In CentOS 7.0 uses Firewall-cmd, so I will customize it to allow external access to port
80 (http) and 443 (https).

https://www.howtoforge.com/apache_php_mysql_on_centos_7_lamp 4/24
2/1/2021 Install Apache, PHP And MySQL On CentOS 7 (LAMP)

firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=http

firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=https
firewall-cmd --reload

Now direct your browser to http://192.168.0.100, and you should see the Apache2
placeholder page:

4 Installing PHP5

We can install PHP5 and the Apache PHP5 module as follows:

yum -y install php

We must restart Apache afterwards:

systemctl restart httpd.service

https://www.howtoforge.com/apache_php_mysql_on_centos_7_lamp 5/24
2/1/2021 Install Apache, PHP And MySQL On CentOS 7 (LAMP)

5 Testing PHP5 / Getting Details About Your PHP5

Installation

The document root of the default website is /var/www/html. We will now create a
small PHP file (info.php) in that directory and call it in a browser. The file will display
lots of useful details about our PHP installation, such as the installed PHP version.

vi /var/www/html/info.php

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Now we call that file in a browser (e.g. http://192.168.0.100/info.php):

As you see, PHP5 is working, and it's working through the Apache 2.0 Handler, as
shown in the Server API line. If you scroll further down, you will see all modules
that are already enabled in PHP5. MySQL is not listed there which means we don't
have MySQL support in PHP5 yet.

6 Getting MySQL Support In PHP5

https://www.howtoforge.com/apache_php_mysql_on_centos_7_lamp 6/24
2/1/2021 Install Apache, PHP And MySQL On CentOS 7 (LAMP)

To get MySQL support in PHP, we can install the php-mysql package. It's a good idea
to install some other PHP5 modules as well as you might need them for your
applications. You can search for available PHP5 modules like this:

yum search php

Pick the ones you need and install them like this:

yum -y install php-mysql

In the next step I will install some common PHP modules that are required by CMS
Systems like Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal:

yum -y install php-gd php-ldap php-odbc php-pear php-xml php-xmlrpc p

hp-mbstring php-snmp php-soap curl curl-devel

Now restart Apache2:

systemctl restart httpd.service

Now reload http://192.168.0.100/info.php in your browser and scroll down to

the modules section again. You should now find lots of new modules like curl etc
there.:

https://www.howtoforge.com/apache_php_mysql_on_centos_7_lamp 7/24
2/1/2021 Install Apache, PHP And MySQL On CentOS 7 (LAMP)

7 phpMyAdmin installation

phpMyAdmin is a web interface through which you can manage your MySQL
databases.
phpMyAdmin can now be installed as follows:

yum install phpMyAdmin

Now we configure phpMyAdmin. We change the Apache configuration so that

phpMyAdmin allows connections not just from localhost (by commenting out the
<Directory "/usr/share/phpmyadmin"> stanza):

vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf

[...]
Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin
Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin

#<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
# <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
# # Apache 2.4
# <RequireAny>
# Require ip 127.0.0.1
# Require ip ::1

https://www.howtoforge.com/apache_php_mysql_on_centos_7_lamp 8/24
2/1/2021 Install Apache, PHP And MySQL On CentOS 7 (LAMP)

# </RequireAny>
# </IfModule>
# <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
# # Apache 2.2
# Order Deny,Allow
# Deny from All
# Allow from 127.0.0.1
# Allow from ::1
# </IfModule>
#</Directory>

<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
Options none
AllowOverride Limit
Require all granted
</Directory>

[...]

Next we change the authentication in phpMyAdmin from cookie to http:

vi /etc/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php

[...]
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'http'; // Authentication met
hod (config, http or cookie based)?
[...]

Restart Apache:

systemctl restart httpd.service

Afterwards, you can access phpMyAdmin under

http://192.168.0.100/phpmyadmin/:

Hello, just wanted to let you know that you actually installed an old phpMyAdmin package. There are
two PMA packages, "phpmyadmin" which installs v2.11.11 and "phpMyAdmin" which installs v3.5.7. I
don't know if you wanted to use the old version intentionally, but I just thought that I'd point it out.

Why mariaDB and not mysql, or are they the same now ?

MariaDB is the free MySQL fork, MariaDB is compatible with MySQL and the commands from
MariaDB are still nemad "mysql" or "mysqldump", so there are no differences from the Client
side. All Major Linux Distributions replaced MySQL with MariaDB now, so we will use that for the
tutorials as well. Some users also Report that MariDB is faster then MySQL in the latest releases.

Following the article, I just installed the phpMyAdmin-4.2.7.1.

And, after install, and doing the comments suggested in the lines of Directory for phpMyAdmin, it
doesn't show in the webpage. I did to include this lines to see it in the url:
<Directory "/usr/share/phpMyAdmin/">
Options Indexes
AllowOverride None
Require all granted

Any alternative?

Step one, installing EPEL can be done by simply installing it with yum, since it is included in the
default repository;
yum install epel-release

Thanks for this howtoforge LAMP/CentOS7

Just one point... which annoyed me; you should consider changing all MySQL terms by MariaDB... or
at least mention MySQL only as a reference and only once as it is not about installing MySQL at all
but MariaDB (MySQL has been thrown out by many Linux distros as of now) my 2 cents ... but again
thanks a lot for this howtoforge tutorial which saved me a lot of research time ;-)

I was able to get this all installed and working. Only problem I am having is I cannot login to
phpmyadmin from my laptop to my headless CentOS server. It will not take my login credentials on
root, my regular user account, or leaving it blank. I can login to both the root and my user account
via my ssh connection to the server with no problem. But the same accounts will not work via the
web page. I get the prompt, but it just keeps reprompting me. Any ideas on what to check?

Great tutorial and very well-explained. Works perfectly if you follow all the steps. I did notice the link
for epel in step 1 is old. I used the latest one, 7.5, which is referenced elsewhere in these
comments. Also, when I commented out the section of code in phpMyAdmin, I could not log into it
from localhost, so I un-commented them since I likely would not be logging into phpMyAdmin from a
different machine anyway. Otherwise, Great stuff! Thanks a million!

By: uptoeleven Reply

If you comment out the entire

<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
then no-one can use phpMyAdmin - because the directory can't be served by Apache.
The correct approach as per http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23235363/forbidden-you-dont-
have-permission-to-access-phpmyadmin-on-this-server is to only comment out two "Require IP" lines
and replace them with a Require all granted thus:
<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/> AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 <IfModule mod_authz_core.c> #
Apache 2.4 <RequireAny> #Require ip 127.0.0.1 #Require ip ::1 Require all granted </RequireAny>

Great tutorial. I do have one request, can you add some information about getting SELinux to play
nice with Apache? I'm new to setting up Linux servers and this is the first time I have worked with
CentOS, so I wasn't aware of what kinds of problems can be caused by SELinux, or how easy it is to
fix them. Lets just say it would have saved me some time, and a lot of frustrations if I had known
about the restorecon command before trying to install a CMS.

If you are going to show people how to disable all security, as you do by by commenting out the
entire block, you should warn them that this makes it so any IP is accepted--so if they place this
configuration on a web facing network, anyone will be able to get to phpmyadmin from any IP

them the correct way, that is by putting in either their internal subnet only, if they only manage from

so on. If they want to be able to get to and manage from the Internet (which should only be done if
you don't have any other way to get to it) they should find out what their external IP is from where
they will be managing and put that IP address in i.e. 67.67.77.156 but certainly you don't want any
of the millions of IP address from all over the planet to be able to bang away at the php
administration logon, do you?
For those that say this is just for testing or developing...I've lost count of how many times a dev or
test system somehow got placed in production with security either very relaxed or non-existent and
then next thing you know, the site is hacked.

And for those requesting that SELinux be disabled. Do yourselves a favor, learn how to work with it.
Don't just disable it or put it in permissive mode. It is one of many things that is between you and
hackers. Why purposely, for the lack of spending time with a book or documentation, weaken the
security of a system on the Internet?
If a person can't deploy and configure a LAMP stack without disabling security then maybe they
shouldn't be trying to deploy and configure a LAMP stack.
Do it right or don't do it at all.
