Compile and build Apache + MySQL + PHP from the source [cite]

This is a complete working solution to build Apache (httpd-2.2.25), MySQL (MySQL-5.6.14) and PHP (PHP-5.5.5) from the sources. Article tested many times on CentOS 6.4 and you can directly copy & paste the commands below to build the lastest releases. We advise you to use a freshly installed OS as compiling may corrupt or delete your existing structure or data. The solution both tested on a clean dedicated server and a KVM virtualized VPS.

Before you begin your compilation you should need additional header files and libraries required, please use the following code to install pre-requisities, don’t delete them as you would definitely need them when you upgrade to new releases also:

yum install make gcc automake zlib-devel bison cmake libtool wget gcc-c++ unzip ncurses-devel openssl-devel pcre-devel libxml2-devel curl-devel gd-devel libxslt-devel

Building & Installing Apache prefork

download the latest release of Apache Web Server and unpack:

wget http://ftp.itu.edu.tr/Mirror/Apache//httpd/httpd-2.2.25.tar.gz 
tar zxvf httpd-2.2.25.tar.gz
cd httpd-2.2.25

We advise you to configure with the options below as this form is widely used:


./configure \ 
     "--prefix=/etc/httpd" \
     "--exec-prefix=/etc/httpd" \
     "--bindir=/usr/bin" \
     "--sbindir=/usr/sbin" \
     "--sysconfdir=/etc/httpd/conf" \
     "--enable-so" \
     "--enable-dav" \
     "--enable-dav-fs" \
     "--enable-dav-lock" \
     "--enable-suexec" \
     "--enable-deflate" \
     "--enable-unique-id" \
     "--enable-mods-static=most" \
     "--enable-reqtimeout" \
     "--with-mpm=prefork" \
     "--with-suexec-caller=apache" \
     "--with-suexec-docroot=/" \
     "--with-suexec-gidmin=100" \
     "--with-suexec-logfile=/var/log/httpd/suexec_log" \
     "--with-suexec-uidmin=100" \
     "--with-suexec-userdir=public_html" \
     "--with-suexec-bin=/usr/sbin/suexec" \
     "--with-included-apr" \
     "--with-pcre=/usr" \
     "--includedir=/usr/include/apache" \
     "--libexecdir=/usr/lib/apache" \
     "--datadir=/var/www" \
     "--localstatedir=/var" \
     "--enable-logio" \
     "--enable-ssl" \
     "--enable-rewrite" \
     "--enable-proxy" \
     "--enable-expires" \
     "--with-ssl=/usr" \
     "--enable-headers"

to build and install source distro, type:

#   make
#   make install

Build & Install MySQL

Since we need headers and libraries of mysql for compiling PHP, we will first install MySQL server before PHP compilation.

wget http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.6/mysql-5.6.14.tar.gz/from/http://cdn.mysql.com/
tar zxvf mysql-5.6.14.tar.gz
cd mysql-5.6.14
groupadd mysql
useradd -g mysql mysql
cmake .  -DMYSQL_UNIX_ADDR=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
make
make install

If you encounter problems while running cmake, you have to delete CmakeCache.txt before re-compiling with cmake

#log in to newly created mysql dir
cd /usr/local/mysql/
#change owner and group
chown -R mysql:mysql .
scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
#add service command
cp support-files/mysql.server /etc/init.d/mysqld
chkconfig --add mysqld
chkconfig mysqld on
#start mysql server
service mysqld start

change your mysql password by typing:
./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h change.this.hostname password 'new-password'
Build libmcrypt from the source

libmcypt repo is not included in the main yum repo, so better install it from the source:
 
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/mcrypt/files/Libmcrypt/2.5.8/libmcrypt-2.5.8.tar.gz/download?use_mirror=garr
tar zxvf libmcrypt-2.5.8.tar.gz
cd libmcrypt-2.5.8
./configure
make
make install
Building PHP-5.5.5 from the source

PHP configuration is also given with the mostly used modules & functionality, download unpack & configure as stated below:

wget http://us2.php.net/get/php-5.5.5.tar.gz/from/this/mirror
tar zxvf php-5.5.5.tar.gz
cd php-5.5.5
./configure \
            --with-apxs2 \
            --with-curl=/usr \
            --with-gd \
            --with-gettext \
            --with-jpeg-dir=/usr \
            --with-freetype-dir=/usr \
            --with-kerberos \
            --with-openssl \
            --with-mcrypt=/usr/local/lib \
            --with-mhash \
            --with-mysql=mysqlnd \
            --with-mysqli=mysqlnd \
            --with-pcre-regex \
            --with-pear \
            --with-png-dir=/usr \
            --with-xsl \
            --with-zlib \
            --with-zlib-dir=/usr \
            --with-iconv \
            --enable-bcmath \
            --enable-calendar \
            --enable-exif \
            --enable-ftp \
            --enable-gd-native-ttf \
            --enable-soap \
            --enable-sockets \
            --enable-mbstring \
            --enable-zip \
            --enable-wddx
make
make install
libtool --finish /root/php-5.5.5/libs
cp php.ini-production /usr/local/lib/php.ini
sed -i 's/;date.timezone =.*/  date.timezone \= "Europe\/Istanbul"/' /usr/local/lib/php.ini

Download phpMyAdmin and install it to webroot:

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/phpmyadmin/phpMyAdmin/4.0.8/phpMyAdmin-4.0.8-all-languages.tar.gz
tar zxvf phpMyAdmin-4.0.8-all-languages.tar.gz
mv phpMyAdmin-4.0.8-all-languages /var/www/
mv /var/www/phpMyAdmin-4.0.8-all-languages/ /var/www/phpMyAdmin

create a test page to see if everything went well:

echo "<?PHP phpInfo();?>" > /var/www/index.php
If you cannot see a PHP info page, you need to add httpd directives to your httpd.conf:
echo "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php" >> /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-php.conf
echo "AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps" >> /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-php.conf

echo "Include conf/extra/httpd-php.conf" >> /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

restart apache by typing: apachectl restart
