How to install PHP 7.1 on EC2 running on Amazon Linux AMI 2018.03 having nginx as web server? - nginx

How to install PHP 7.1 on Amazon EC2 t2.micro Instance running Amazon Linux AMI 2018.03 having nginx as web server?
Reference to PHP7

With reference to this answer, change Step 1 to the following:
1. Install Apache 2.4 and PHP 7.1 on Amazon Linux AMI
# Remove current apache & php
sudo yum remove httpd* php*
# Install Apache 2.4
sudo yum install httpd24
# Install PHP 7.1
sudo yum install php71
# Install additional commonly used php packages
sudo yum install php71-gd
sudo yum install php71-imap
sudo yum install php71-mbstring
sudo yum install php71-mysqlnd
sudo yum install php71-opcache
sudo yum install php71-pdo
sudo yum install php71-pecl-apcu
Basically replacing php70 with php71.
Continue with step 2 and the rest as per the original tutorial.

I followed below steps to install PHP7.1 which had already Nginx as web server for Amazon Linux AMI 2018.03
#Remove Old PHP
yum remove php*
#Update Reposistory
rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el6/latest.rpm
#Update Amazon AMI
yum upgrade -y
#Install PHP
#List of PHP packages https://webtatic.com/packages/php71/
yum install php71w php71w-cli php71w-fpm
yum install php71w-mysql php71w-xml php71w-curl
yum install php71w-opcache php71w-pdo php71w-gd
yum install php71w-pecl-apcu php71w-mbstring php71w-imap
yum install php71w-pecl-redis php71w-mcrypt
#change listen mode to CGI
sed -i 's/127.0.0.1:9000/\/tmp\/php5-fpm.sock/g' /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf
/etc/init.d/php-fpm restart
touch /tmp/php5-fpm.sock
chmod 777 /tmp/php5-fpm.sock
service nginx restart
The reason I am still using /tmp/php5-fpm.sock file so that I do not need to change PHP7 sock file in all website nginx conf and assuming server do not have PHP5 as as on first step it has been removed.

A reliable way to achieve the same output is by following commands on Amazon Linux AMI 2.
# Remove current php & apache
sudo service httpd stop
sudo yum remove httpd* php*
sudo yum install httpd
amazon-linux-extras install php7.1

Can't Get RStudio Server to Run on EC2

I need to create an AMI with a clean install of R and RStudio Server. I have tried this on Amazon Linux 2 AMI (HVM), Amazon Linux AMI 2018.03.0 (HVM), and Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS (HVM) but none of them work. I do not get any errors (that I notice) in my installs but when I try to access RStudio Server via http://ec2-XX-XX-XX-XX.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8787 there's nothing to connect to. I have even tried opening all ports to all IPs to make sure it wasn't a networking issue.
My Amazon API install scripts are below
Amazon Linux AMI 2018.03.0 (HVM)
sudo yum install -y R
wget https://download2.rstudio.org/server/centos6/x86_64/rstudio-server-rhel-1.2.1335-x86_64.rpm
sudo yum install -y rstudio-server-rhel-1.2.1335-x86_64.rpm
rm rstudio-server-rhel-1.2.1335-x86_64.rpm
Amazon Linux 2 AMI
sudo amazon-linux-extras install -y R3.4
wget https://download2.rstudio.org/server/centos6/x86_64/rstudio-server-rhel-1.2.1335-x86_64.rpm
sudo yum install -y rstudio-server-rhel-1.2.1335-x86_64.rpm
rm rstudio-server-rhel-1.2.1335-x86_64.rpm
I get this as part of the result:
Running transaction
Installing : rstudio-server-1.0.153-1.x86_64 1/1
groupadd: group 'rstudio-server' already exists
rsession: no process found
rstudio-server start/running, process 4990
Verifying : rstudio-server-1.0.153-1.x86_64 1/1
Installed:
rstudio-server.x86_64 0:1.0.153-1
Complete!
I think the issue is the rsession: no process found portion but I can't figure out how to resolve it.

Apache installation with mod_fcgi for httpd24 centos 6.9

I have installed php and apache in my centos 6.9 for apache version 2.4 and php version 5.6 as below:
yum install epel-release
rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
yum install epel-release
yum repolist
yum --enablerepo=extras install centos-release-scl
yum install httpd24
yum install -y libapache2-mod-fastcgi rh-php56-fpm rh-php56 rh-php56-php rh-php56 rh-php56-cli
but I can't see mod_fcgi.so is in /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/modules directory.
Hence I downloaded the mod_fcgi from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#mod_fcgid.
Need an way so that I can install it existing apache modules
Many thanks in advance
Using httpd24 from Software Collection, you already have mod_proxy_fcgi, other old modules are deprecated.
I recommend you to read PHP Configuration Tips about such configuration (notice, this was written for CentOS 7 but works on CentOS 6 using httpd24)

opencpu cloud server installation guide on ubuntu 16.04

Would anyone know or like to share their note on installing opencpu cloud server on ubuntu 16.04?
I thought it is easy, but we saw many error here and there when following the instructions. I am new to opencpu. And, I don't have much experience on apache and nignx.
Here is the long story:
I created a new and clean ubuntu 16.04 server from microsoft azure vm, and installed opencpu cloud server following:
# Requires Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) or 16.04 (Xenial)
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:opencpu/opencpu-1.6
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
# Installs OpenCPU server
sudo apt-get install -y opencpu
The server reported insserv error when running opencpu init script
update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header dpkg
We then did some goolge and fix around, we got apache2 running, but when called:
curl http://localhost/ocpu/info
received 404 error.
FYI, the single user server runs fine.
The solution we found is that opencpu need mod_R to be turned on from apache2:
sudo a2enmod R
You need first to change to dir:
/etc/apache2/mods-available
And, make sure R.load file exists.
After running a2enmod command, should see a link to R.load (R module) in
/etc/apache2/mods-enable
Thank you y g for your question and response .. I had the same problem i try what you have mentioned in your comment but
curl http://localhost/cpu/info
takes along time without no response.
Thank you.
I used opencpu 1.5 works without bugs on ubuntu 16.04
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:opencpu/opencpu-1.5
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Install R and then install opencpu
sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev
sudo apt-get install -y opencpu
Also you should probably install Rstudio for IDE access
sudo apt-get install rstudio-server
To login to R you'll need to make a new user - follow the prompts
sudo adduser myname
Now just to make sure its all working
sudo service opencpu restart
sudo service rstudio-server restart
And try something like to check if its working
curl -L -v localhost/ocpu/library/
which should return a list of packages now installed on Ubuntu like this

Upgrading nginx on Centos 6.8

I'm trying to update Nginx on Centos 6.8. I tried
sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo
and then changing the nginx.repo to
[nginx]
name=nginx repo
baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/centos/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
and then ran:
sudo yum update && sudo yum install nginx
But when I check the version with nginx -v, it's still version 1.9.2.
I also tried quitting and reloading, but neither did anything.
Also tried:
cd /opt
wget http://nginx.org/packages/centos/6/x86_64/RPMS/nginx-1.10.1-1.el6.ngx.x86_64.rpm
yum update nginx-1.10.1-1.el6.ngx.x86_64.rpm
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Download the latest epel-release rpm from http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/
Install epel-release rpm:
# rpm -Uvh epel-release*rpm
Install nginx rpm package:
# yum --enablerepo=epel-testing install nginx

Nginx update on ubuntu fails

I am not nginx expert and having problems in configuring it.
Examples I found on web are slightly different so I wanted to update nginx 1.05 to 1.4.1 to see if it helps.
I have found instructions to install nginx from PPA as
apt-get install python-software-properties
add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable
apt-get update
apt-get install nginx
It seems as is it has installed but nginx -v is still telling me I have 1.0.5
What I missed?
Using ubuntu 11.10
Thanks
NGINX maintains is own apt repository which means you don't need to use the PPA.
Firstly remove the added ppa:
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:nginx/stable
Then, if you're not running anything critical through nginx I would suggest running apt-get remove --purge nginx to completely remove nginx.
To use NGINX's repository add the following to `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx.list':
deb http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ oneiric nginx
deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ oneiric nginx
Then run apt-get update. Then reinstall using apt-get install nginx.
Hope that works.
