Install PHP

In order to use PHP in the web server, you have to install PHP.

As root perform:

$ yum install php
$ service httpd restart

The last line is to restart the Apache server loading the newly installed module.

Test the PHP installation

In the web-server root (typical /var/www/html) create a file info.php with this content:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Next test that your web-server and PHP is running as expected by entering in your web-browser the IP-address of your virtual server and /info.php like:

10.1.18.104/info.php

Get in contact with MySQL

As root install support for the MySQL database by issuing:

$ yum install php-mysql

Restart the httpd server.

Reload the info.php page and observe that you now have a section about MySQL.
