Install GD Library For PHP5 On CentOS 6


Install GD Library For PHP5 On CentOS

Note: this article only applies if your current PHP version has been installed by yum. If you custom compiled it from source, this will not work.



Verify PHP as installed by yum

An easy task, using yum. First step, see if it's already installed.
[root@homeserver]# rpm -qa | grep php
php-common-5.1.6-15.el5
php-cli-5.1.6-15.el5
php-5.1.6-15.el5
php-pdo-5.1.6-15.el5
php-mysql-5.1.6-15.el5

Install the GD library using yum

If the GD Library isn't present in that list, it wasn't installed on the server yet. Install it using yum.
[root@homeserver]# yum install php-gd

Installing SSH2 extension for PHP on Centos 6


Installing the SSH2 PHP extension on CentOS is actually pretty simple. 


Although it isn’t available as a straight yum install, it boils down to a few short steps.


Firstly, we’re going to install the dependencies:
yum install gcc php-devel php-pear libssh2 libssh2-devel

These will allow us to build the SSH2 extension using pecl.



pecl install -f ssh2



After running that command, it should stop at a line like:



WARNING: channel "pecl.php.net" has updated its protocols, use "pecl channel-update pecl.php.net" to update
downloading ssh2-0.11.3.tgz ...
Starting to download ssh2-0.11.3.tgz (23,062 bytes)
........done: 23,062 bytes
5 source files, building
running: phpize
Configuring for:
PHP Api Version:         20090626
Zend Module Api No:      20090626
Zend Extension Api No:   220090626
libssh2 prefix? [autodetect] : 



All you have to do is hit Enter and it should detect the proper path. 




Once the install is completed, you just have to tell PHP to load the 
extension when it boots.



touch /etc/php.d/ssh2.ini
echo extension=ssh2.so > /etc/php.d/ssh2.ini



Now restart your webserver and test to see if the changes took effect.



/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart
php -m | grep ssh2



You should get a line returned with ‘ssh2′.

lighttpd doesn't start - selinux










Lighttpd doesn't start due to a conflict with file descriptors:



Issue



# /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart
Stopping lighttpd:                                         [FAILED]
Starting lighttpd: 2012-06-03 00:57:12: (server.c.722) couldn't set 'max filedescriptors' Permission denied 
                                                           [FAILED]



Solution:



Install SE utils





yum install policycoreutils-python

Create SELinux module to allow lighttpd to set its own open file descriptors limit



/usr/sbin/semodule -DB



# /etc/init.d/auditd restart
Stopping auditd:                                           [  OK  ]
Starting auditd:                                           [  OK  ] 



#grep lighttpd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M lighttpdmaxfds



#/usr/sbin/semodule -i lighttpdmaxfds.pp  



 # /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart
Stopping lighttpd:                                         [FAILED]
Starting lighttpd:                                         [  OK  ]



# /usr/sbin/semodule -B
