In this latest post to his blog Ben Ramsey shows you how to, inside of a virtual machine, set up a server with PHP 5.4 installed (using CentOS 6.2).
In case you haven't heard the news, the PHP project released version 5.4.0 last Thursday. Naturally, I decided it was time to install and give it a try. I chose to install to a clean and bare-bones CentOS 6.2 virtual machine using VirtualBox. I did this for two reasons: 1) I wanted a clean environment for the build, and 2) I wanted to play with CentOS. At the time of this writing, there are not yet any official CentOS RPMs for PHP 5.4, so I had to build PHP from source. What follows are the notes I took during the installation and build process. I hope you find them helpful.
His instructions cover the full process:
- Installing the CentOS operating system
- Creating a non-root user
- Setting up the network for local access
- Installing the packages for PHP (via yum)
- Grab PHP 5.4 and compile it
- Testing out the web server with a sample phpinfo file
He includes a lot of extensions in his installation, some you may not need like pspell, tidy, calendar, ftp or xsl.
