In this guide, we will demonstrate how to install How to Install Drupal on Centos7.

1. Login to your server via SSH or KVM, via root.

2. Disable selinux.

 setenforce 0

 sed -i ‘s/enforcing/disabled/g’ /etc/selinux/config

3. Run the following command to install all the required packages for your Apache & MySQL stack, which will host the Drupal website.

yum install httpd mariadb-server mod_ssl -y

4. Now, install a version of PHP above 5.5.9 to be compatible with Drupal 8 and nano.

yum install centos-release-scl -y

yum-config-manager –enable rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms -y

yum install php55 php55-php-gd php55-php-mysqlnd php55-php-pdo php55-php-json php55-php-curl php55-php-fpm php55-php-mbstring php55-php-opcache nano -y

5. Run the following commands to the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf, this allows for Apache to pass the requests to PHP-FPM.

echo ‘<IfModule !mod_php5.c>’ >> /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf

echo ‘<FilesMatch \.php$>’ >>  /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf

echo ‘SetHandler “proxy:fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000″‘ >>  /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf

echo ‘</FilesMatch>’ >> /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf

echo ‘</IfModule>’  >> /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf

6. Update the Apache config to allow for htaccess and PHP to be used. Also, update the timezone configuration in PHP (drupal will require this later).

sed -i ‘s/AllowOverride [Nn]one/AllowOverride all/g’ /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

sed -i ‘s/DirectoryIndex index.html/DirectoryIndex index.php index.html/g’ /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

sed -i ‘s/;date.timezone =/date.timezone = “America\/New_York”/g’ /opt/rh/php55/root/etc/php.ini

7. Start Apache & MySQL on the server.

systemctl start httpd && systemctl start php55-php-fpm && systemctl start mariadb

8. You should now be able to confirm that Apache is started by going to either the domain name you have pointed to the server, or your server IP address. In this example, we are using the server IP address.

9. Now, create the MySQL user and database for Drupal. Enter the mysql command to get to a prompt (pick a different password to the below one, just make sure it is safe!).

mysql

CREATE DATABASE drupal;

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON drupal.* TO ‘drupal’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘Eh4wph8WItSO’;

10. Download and put into place the most recent version of Drupal. Find the latest version of Drupal by visiting the Drupal website https://www.drupal.org/download (at the time of writing this is 8.2.1).

tar zxvf drupal-8.2.1.tar.gz

rmdir /var/www/html

mv drupal-8.2.1 /var/www/html

11. Update the permissions so that files can be uploaded through the Drupal control panel.

chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html

Your server must verify all of the requirements with this configuration and continue past the “Verify requirements” screen.
