How to install these technologies on my server?

Hello,

I think that this would work for you:

First make sure to run apt updage:

apt-get update

Then run the follwoing to install your PHP modules:

apt-get install php7.2 php7.2-curl php7.2-dev php7.2-mbstring php7.2-zip php7.2-mysql php7.2-xml php-token-stream php7.2-json

Hope that this helps! Bobby

To install PHP and the required PHP extensions on your server, you’ll need to follow specific steps depending on the operating system of your server. Below, I’ll provide guidance for installing PHP and the necessary extensions on both Ubuntu (commonly used with Debian as well) and CentOS, two of the most popular Linux distributions for web servers.

For Ubuntu/Debian-based systems:

1. Update Your Package Manager

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

2. Install PHP and Common Extensions You mentioned the need for PHP version 7.1.3 or higher. I recommend installing a more current version of PHP, such as PHP 7.4 or PHP 8.0, as they offer better performance and security improvements. Here’s how you can install PHP 8.0 and the required extensions:

sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt update
sudo apt install php8.0
sudo apt install php8.0-cli php8.0-fpm php8.0-mbstring php8.0-xml php8.0-bcmath php8.0-json php8.0-pdo php8.0-tokenizer php8.0-ctype php8.0-openssl

Check Installation Verify that PHP and its extensions are installed correctly:

php -v
php -m

For CentOS/RHEL-based systems:

1. Enable EPEL and Remi Repository To install the latest PHP versions, you need the EPEL and Remi repositories:

sudo yum install epel-release yum-utils
sudo yum install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
sudo yum-config-manager --enable remi-php80

Install PHP and Extensions Now, install PHP 8.0 and the necessary extensions:

sudo yum install php php-cli php-fpm php-mbstring php-xml php-bcmath php-json php-pdo php-tokenizer php-ctype

Additional Configuration

• Configure PHP-FPM for use with your web server (either Apache or Nginx):

  • If using Apache, you might need to install and configure libapache2-mod-php (for Ubuntu) or mod_php (for CentOS).
  • If using Nginx, ensure that PHP-FPM is properly set up to handle PHP processing, as Nginx does not process PHP natively.

• Adjust PHP Settings in php.ini (located usually in /etc/php/8.0/cli/php.ini for CLI and /etc/php/8.0/fpm/php.ini for FPM):

  • Customize settings such as upload_max_filesize, post_max_size, memory_limit, and max_execution_time as per your application requirements.
