Step 1: Updating Fedora System Packages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once\u00a0Fedora workstation<\/strong>\u00a0is installed( on server , php can’t work, I don’t understand), the first step is to update the system packages to ensure you have the latest security patches and software updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo dnf update\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Install Apache on Fedora<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Apache<\/strong> is a popular and most reliable web server on the Linux platform powering multiple websites and web-based applications on the web. It comes with several modules to enhance its functionality under different categories including security modules, server access modules plus so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To install Apache<\/strong>, issue the command below on your terminal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo dnf install httpd\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"Install<\/div>
Install Apache in Fedora<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
After installation is complete, you need to perform a few tasks to get your Apache<\/strong> web server running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, you need to set it to start automatically at boot time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo systemctl enable httpd.service\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Then start the service:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo systemctl start httpd.service\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Next, to be sure that the service is running, you can issue the command below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo systemctl status httpd.service\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"Check<\/div>
Check Apache Status<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
To access your web server over HTTP\/HTTPS<\/strong>, you need to enable access to it through the system firewall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To do that, run the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http\nsudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=https\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Then reload the system firewall configurations as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo systemctl reload firewalld\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
One last thing to do under Apache<\/strong> installation is to check whether the default Apache installation index page can load in your web browser, therefore open your web browser and enter your server IP address as shown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
http://server-ip-address\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
If you don\u2019t know your server IP address, you can find using the below ip command<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ip a | grep \"inet\" \n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"Check<\/div>

You should be able to view this page below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note<\/strong>: The Apache default root directory is\u00a0\/var\/www\/html<\/code>, and this is where you can drop your web files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Install mysql on Fedora<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Install PHP on Fedora<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
PHP<\/strong> is a serve-side scripting language that handles and sends user requests to the web and database server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To install PHP<\/strong> on Fedora, use the command below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo dnf install php php-common \n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"Install<\/div>
Install PHP in Fedora<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
In order for PHP to work well with mysql databases, you need to install some PHP modules therefore, execute the command below to install the required PHP modules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo dnf install php-mysqlnd php-gd php-cli php-mbstring\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"Install<\/div>
Install PHP Extensions in Fedora<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
When the installation process is complete, you need to restart the Apache<\/strong> web server, this will allow all the changes to take effect before you can have a complete working LAMP<\/strong> stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To restart Apache<\/strong>, issue the command below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo systemctl restart httpd \n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Now you can test it all, using your favorite editor, create a called file info.php<\/code> in your Apache root directory as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo vi \/var\/www\/html\/info.php\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Add the following lines in the file, save it, and exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<?php\nphpinfo()\n?>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Then open your web browser and enter the following URL:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
http://server-ip-address\/info.php\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
In case everything is set, then you should be able to view this PHP information below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
