Install PHP, MySQL and Apache on EC2 Centos
Firstly, we need to clean and update Yum. Yum is a command line tool for package
management in a Linux system. It is used to easily install, update, remove or search
software packages on a system.
Step 1: Clean-up yum:
#sudo yum clean all
Step 2: Update existing packages:
#sudo yum update
Step 3: Add Yum CentOS 7 Repositories
we need to add the following various YUM repositories such as REMI, EPEL, Webtatic &
MySQL community server to our system.
# sudo yum install epel-release
# sudo rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
# sudo rpm -Uvh https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el7/webtatic-release.rpm
# sudo rpm -Uvh http://repo.mysql.com/mysql57-community-release-el7-11.noarch.rpm
Step 4: Install PHP 7 from webtatic
# sudo yum install php71w
Search for installed PHP modules - #sudo yum search php71w
Install Basis PHP modules.
# sudo yum install php71w-mysql php71w-xml php71w-soap php71w-xmlrpc
# sudo yum install php71w-mbstring php71w-json php71w-gd php71w-mcrypt
Step 5 Install Apache 2.4
Apache (HTTPD) is the most popular web server used on Linux systems.
#sudo yum --enablerepo=epel,remi install httpd OR sudo yum -y install httpd
Start httpd service and enable to start on boot.
# sudo systemctl start httpd.service OR sudo service httpd restart
# sudo systemctl enable httpd.service
#sudo systemctl status httpd OR sudo service httpd status

Step 6 Install MySQL 5.7
# sudo yum install mysql-server
Apply security on MySQL and also set root user password.
# sudo systemctl start mysqld.service
Generate temporary password for mysql
# grep 'A temporary password is generated for root@localhost' /var/log/mysqld.log |tail -1
# sudo mysql_secure_installation
Restart MySQL service and enable to start on system boot.
# sudo systemctl restart mysqld.service
# sudo systemctl enable mysqld.service
Step 7 Install and open firewall port
To open firewall ports for http (80) and https (443) services
Install Firewall
#sudo yum install firewalld
Start firewall service
#sudo systemctl start firewalld.service
# sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=http
# sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=https
# sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Step 8 Check Installed Version
Check the installed versions of packages on system
# php -v
# httpd -v
# mysql -V
