\u00a0 We are going to show you how to install PHP and PHP-FPM on Ubuntu 24.04. PHP, or Hypertext Preprocessor, is a popular open-source programming language used mostly for online development. The only PHP implementation of PHP FastCGI that is really helpful for websites with a lot of traffic is PHP. At the end of this guide, you should be ready to go with PHP running on your server.<\/p>\n
To ensure that your system is up to date, run the following commands:<\/p>\n
sudo apt update\r\nsudo apt upgrade<\/pre>\nINSTALL APACHE<\/h3>\n
Launch the Apache web server using the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt install apache2<\/pre>\nINSTALL PHP<\/h3>\n
Let’s begin with installing the PHP package in Ubuntu 24.04 server.
\nFirst, open a terminal on your Ubuntu system.
\nPHP and common modules are included in the installation action:<\/p>\nsudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej\/php<\/pre>\nsudo apt install php8.4<\/pre>\nThat command installs the core PHP package, the command-line interface, and common libraries.<\/p>\n
Make sure the installation works:<\/p>\n
php -v<\/pre>\nINSTALL PHP EXTENSIONS<\/p>\n
sudo apt install php8.4-curl php8.4-mbstring php8.4-xml php8.4-mysql php8.4-gd php8.4-zip<\/pre>\nShort description:<\/p>\n
Additional extensions can be installed as you see fit for your projects. You can search
\nthem using:<\/p>\n
apt-cache search php-<\/pre>\nINSTALL AND CONFIGURE PHP-FPM<\/h3>\n
PHP-FPM is essential when dealing with high-traffic websites. To install and configure it:<\/p>\n
1.Install the package:<\/strong><\/p>\n
sudo apt install php8.4-fpm<\/pre>\n2.Launch PHP-FPM service. Depending on the installation, version number may differ.<\/strong><\/p>\n
sudo systemctl start php8.4-fpm<\/pre>\n3.Tell PHP-FPM to go on boot:<\/strong><\/p>\n
sudo systemctl enable php8.4-fpm<\/pre>\n4.Verify PHP-FPM is working:<\/strong><\/p>\n
systemctl status php8.4-fpm<\/pre>\nThis will output a response that says „Active (Running)” if everything is working as expected.<\/p>\n
CONFIGURATON<\/h3>\n
1.Set Up Apache for PHP-FPM. Ensure Apache is made compatible for PHP-FPM, by first finding Apache configuration file (usually \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/your_conf.conf) then inserting:<\/strong><\/p>\n
<FilesMatch \\.php$>\r\nSetHandler "proxy:unix:\/var\/run\/php\/php8.4-fpm.sock|fcgi:\/\/localhost"\r\n<\/FilesMatch><\/pre>\n\n
- OPTIONAL: You can put this line on .htaccess file (this work only for directory where is the .htaccess file)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Remember we must alter specific PHP version and socket path to suit individual settings of the server.
\n2.Activate PHP and PHP-FPM. Enable PHP and PHP-FPM following these instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\nsudo apt install libapache2-mod-php8.4\r\nsudo a2enmod proxy_fcgi setenvif<\/pre>\n3.Reboot Apache. Apply changes by restarting Apache server:<\/strong><\/p>\n
sudo systemctl restart apache2<\/pre>\n4.To ensure that PHP and PHP-FPM are both running with no problems, create a test file then serve it via the website’s server. Let’s say it uses Apache in this example:<\/strong>
\nGenerate PHP Info File. To show PHP settings using the phpinfo() function, do the following:<\/p>\nmkdir -p \/var\/www\/html\r\necho "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" | sudo tee \/var\/www\/html\/info.php<\/pre>\n5.Access PHP Info Page. First open your web browser and go to:<\/strong><\/p>\n
http:\/\/your_server_ip\/info.php<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n
