To deploy a PHP project on CentOS 7, the following steps need to be taken:

  1. Install the necessary software and dependencies.
  2. Install the EPEL repository and then install Apache (httpd) and PHP, including necessary extensions.
  3. Start the Apache server.
  4. Initiate and activate the httpd service using systemctl.
  5. Set up virtual hosts for the Apache server (optional):
  6. Create a new virtual host configuration file: sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/myproject.conf
  7. Add the following to the file (modify as needed):

    ServerName myproject.example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/myproject

    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted

  8. Save and exit the file.
  9. Copy the PHP project files to the document root of the Apache server (default is /var/www/html/) or to the specified virtual host directory.
  10. Set the correct file and directory permissions.
  11. Give ownership of the /var/www/html/myproject directory and its contents to the apache user and group, then set permissions to 755.
  12. Restart the Apache server.
  13. Please restart the httpd service using sudo systemctl.

Your PHP project should now be successfully deployed on CentOS7. You can access the project by visiting the server’s IP address or the specified virtual host domain.
