Apache – PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager)

Apache – PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager)

By |

Consider switching to php-fpm and mod_fast_cgi as per Apache httpd project
recommendation. See https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HTTPD/PHP-FPM

Requirement:

Prevent PHP from running arbitrary code by mistake with:

user@freebsdsrv:~ $ sudo sed -i -e 's/;cgi.fix_pathinfo=1/cgi.fix_pathinfo=0/g' /usr/local/etc/php.ini && cat /usr/local/etc/php.ini | grep "fix_pathinfo=" [enter]
cgi.fix_pathinfo=0
user@freebsdsrv:~ $

PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is a web tool used to speed up a website’s performance. It is much faster than traditional CGI-based methods and can handle tremendous loads simultaneously.

View the installed PHP-FPM version on your server.

user@freebsdsrv:~ $ php-fpm -v [enter]
PHP 8.3.15 (fpm-fcgi) (built: Jan 30 2025 02:19:24)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.3.15, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v8.3.15, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies
user@freebsdsrv:~ $

Enable the PHP-FPM service to start automatically at boot time.

user@freebsdsrv:~ $ sudo sysrc php_fpm_enable="YES" [enter]
php_fpm_enable:  -> YES
user@freebsdsrv:~ $

Configure PHP-FPM to use a UNIX socket instead of a TCP with:

user@freebsdsrv:~ $ sudo sed -i -e 's/127.0.0.1:9000/\/var\/run\/php-fpm.sock/g' /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf && cat /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf | grep "php-fpm.sock" [enter]
listen = /var/run/php-fpm.sock
user@freebsdsrv:~ $

Set permissions for use of the UNIX socket with:

user@freebsdsrv:~ $ sudo sed -i -e 's/;listen.owner/listen.owner/g' /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf && cat /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf | grep "listen.owner =" [enter]
listen.owner = www
user@freebsdsrv:~ $
user@freebsdsrv:~ $ sudo sed -i -e 's/;listen.group/listen.group/g' /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf && cat /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf | grep "listen.group =" [enter]
listen.group = www
user@freebsdsrv:~ $
user@freebsdsrv:~ $ sudo sed -i -e 's/;listen.mode/listen.mode/g' /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf && cat /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf | grep "listen.mode =" [enter]
listen.mode = 0660
user@freebsdsrv:~ $

Display the changed settings in with:

user@freebsdsrv:~ $ head -n 60 /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf [enter]
; Start a new pool named 'www'.
; the variable $pool can be used in any directive and will be replaced by the
; pool name ('www' here)
[www]

; Per pool prefix
; It only applies on the following directives:
; - 'access.log'
; - 'slowlog'
; - 'listen' (unixsocket)
; - 'chroot'
; - 'chdir'
; - 'php_values'
; - 'php_admin_values'
; When not set, the global prefix (or /usr/local) applies instead.
; Note: This directive can also be relative to the global prefix.
; Default Value: none
;prefix = /path/to/pools/$pool

; Unix user/group of the child processes. This can be used only if the master
; process running user is root. It is set after the child process is created.
; The user and group can be specified either by their name or by their numeric
; IDs.
; Note: If the user is root, the executable needs to be started with
;       --allow-to-run-as-root option to work.
; Default Values: The user is set to master process running user by default.
;                 If the group is not set, the user's group is used.
user = www
group = www

; The address on which to accept FastCGI requests.
; Valid syntaxes are:
;   'ip.add.re.ss:port'    - to listen on a TCP socket to a specific IPv4 address on
;                            a specific port;
;   '0.0.0.0:port'         - to listen on a TCP socket to all IPv4 addresses on
;                            a specific port;
;   '[ip:6:addr:ess]:port' - to listen on a TCP socket to a specific IPv6 address on
;                            a specific port;
;   'port'                 - to listen on a TCP socket to all addresses
;                            (IPv6 and IPv4-mapped) on a specific port;
;                            Note: IPv4-mapped addresses are disabled by-default in
;                                  FreeBSD for security reasons;
;   '/path/to/unix/socket' - to listen on a unix socket.
; Note: This value is mandatory.
listen = /var/run/php-fpm.sock

; Set listen(2) backlog.
; Default Value: 511 (-1 on Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD)
;listen.backlog = 511

; Set permissions for unix socket, if one is used. In Linux, read/write
; permissions must be set in order to allow connections from a web server. Many
; BSD-derived systems allow connections regardless of permissions. The owner
; and group can be specified either by name or by their numeric IDs.
; Default Values: Owner is set to the master process running user. If the group
;                 is not set, the owner's group is used. Mode is set to 0660.
listen.owner = www
listen.group = www
listen.mode = 0660

Start PHP-FPM

Start the PHP-FPM service with:

user@freebsdsrv:~ $ sudo service php_fpm start [enter]
Performing sanity check on php-fpm configuration:
[09-Aug-2024 23:20:44] NOTICE: configuration file /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf test is successful
Starting php_fpm.
user@freebsdsrv:~ $

..and then restart Nginx so it loads the latest configuration changes incorporating the PHP module:

Configure Apache to load the socache_shmcb modules, uncomment the line, LoadModule proxy_module libexec/apache24/mod_proxy.so and verify the change with:

user@freebsdsrv:~ $ sudo sed -i -e '/mod_proxy.so/s/#LoadModule/LoadModule/' /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf ; cat /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf | grep "mod_proxy.so" [enter]
LoadModule proxy_module libexec/apache24/mod_proxy.so
user@freebsdsrv:~ $

Configure Apache to load the mod_proxy_fcgi.so, uncomment the line, LoadModule proxy_module libexec/apache24/mod_proxy_fcgi.so and verify the change with:

user@freebsdsrv:~ $ sudo sed -i -e '/mod_proxy_fcgi.so/s/#LoadModule/LoadModule/' /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf ; cat /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf | grep "mod_proxy_fcgi.so" [enter]

user@freebsdsrv:~ $
user@freebsdsrv:~ $ sudo ee /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/php.conf [enter]

…and update as in thi example:

<IfModule dir_module>
         DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
         <FilesMatch "\.php$">
                SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock|fcgi://127.0.0.1/"
         </FilesMatch>
         <FilesMatch "\.phps$">
                SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
         </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

user@freebsdsrv:~ $

Verify Configuration

In order to check that the configuration changes have been applied you’ll run some tests. The first one will check what multi-processing module Apache HTTP is using. The second will verify that PHP is using the FPM manager.

Check the Apache HTTP server by running the following command:

user@freebsdsrv:~ $ sudo apachectl -M | grep 'mpm' [enter]
mpm_event_module (shared)
user@freebsdsrv:~ $

Repeat the same for the proxy module and FastCGI:

user@freebsdsrv:~ $ sudo apachectl -M | grep 'proxy' [enter]
proxy_module (shared)
proxy_fcgi_module (shared)
user@freebsdsrv:~ $

To see the entire list of the modules, you can remove the the second part of the command after -M.

Display open PHP-FPM sockets with:

user@freebsdsrv:~ $ sudo sockstat | grep "php-fpm" [enter]
www      php-fpm     1995 9   stream /var/run/php-fpm.sock
www      php-fpm     1994 9   stream /var/run/php-fpm.sock
root     php-fpm     1993 5   stream -> [1993 7]
root     php-fpm     1993 7   stream -> [1993 5]
root     php-fpm     1993 8   stream /var/run/php-fpm.sock
user@freebsdsrv:~ $

Test the FPM configuration file and display the configuration with:

user@freebsdsrv:~ $ sudo php-fpm -tt [enter]

Test HTTPS connection to the Apache Web server using address, https://freebsdsrv.local.lan. or https://192.168.1.50.

If all is well, you should see a “Your connection is not private” message since we are using a self-signed certificate.

Redirect to HTTPS

If you’d like to set HTTP connection to redirect to HTTPS (Always on SSL/TLS), Set RewriteRule to each Host settings.
For example, if you set Virtual Hostings like the link here, Add RewriteRule like follows. Or It’s possible to set RewriteRule in [.htaccess] not in [httpd.conf].

Configure Apache to load the rewrite_module modules, uncomment the line, LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache24/mod_rewrite.so and verify the change with:

user@freebsdsrv:~ $ sudo sed -i -e '/rewrite_module/s/#LoadModule/LoadModule/' /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf; cat /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf | grep "rewrite_module" [enter]

Apache – HTTP Server

Apache – HTTP Server

By |

Description:

The Apache HTTP Server Project aims to develop and maintain an open-source HTTP server for various modern desktop and server operating systems, such as UNIX and Windows NT. This project aims to provide a secure, efficient, and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards.

Apache HTTP Server version 2.4.43 or newer is required in order to operate a TLS 1.3 web server with OpenSSL 1.1.1.

WWW: http://httpd.apache.org/.

You must have a valid domain name for public access to your website.

Requirements

The following software must be installed before the Apache HTTP Server:

  1. OpenSSL – Cryptography And SSL/TLS Toolkit

Installation

Search for “apache2” in the remote package repositories with:

user@freebsdsrv:~ $ pkg search apache | egrep '^apache[0-9]+-[0-9]' [enter]
apache24-2.4.62                Version 2.4.x of Apache web server
user@freebsdsrv:~ $

In this example, apache24-2.4 will be installed.

Message from apr-1.7.5.1.6.3_3:

--
The Apache Portable Runtime project removed support for FreeTDS with
version 1.6. Users requiring MS-SQL connectivity must migrate
configurations to use the added ODBC driver and FreeTDS' ODBC features.
=====
Message from apache24-2.4.62:

--
To run apache www server from startup, add apache24_enable="yes"
in your /etc/rc.conf. Extra options can be found in startup script.

Your hostname must be resolvable using at least 1 mechanism in
/etc/nsswitch.conf typically DNS or /etc/hosts or apache might
have issues starting depending on the modules you are using.


- apache24 default build changed from static MPM to modular MPM
- more modules are now enabled per default in the port
- icons and error pages moved from WWWDIR to DATADIR

   If build with modular MPM and no MPM is activated in
   httpd.conf, then mpm_prefork will be activated as default
   MPM in etc/apache24/modules.d to keep compatibility with
   existing php/perl/python modules!

Please compare the existing httpd.conf with httpd.conf.sample
and merge missing modules/instructions into httpd.conf!

Disk Imaging and Partitioning Utilities

Disk Imaging and Partitioning Utilities

By | | Comments 0 Comment

Description

So what do you do when you do not have an optical drive for a computer or server and you would like to install Linux?

You have two options, use a USB device (CD-ROM, Hard Drive, or Thumb drive) or PXE booting and doing a full network install. This article will discuss the latter.

Requirements

The following application(s) must be installed, configured and running before tftp-hpa is installed:

Preparation for Installation

Start PuTTY on a Windows PC, Terminal on a Mac or similar terminal application on a Linux PC.

In this example Terminal on a Mac is used.

Open a remote SSH session to the server with:

Mac:~ user$ ssh user@192.168.1.4 [enter]
N.B.: Replace user@192.168.1.4 with User ID and IP Address on Your server! 
[user@server ~]$

Enable superuser privileges with:

[user@server ~]$ sudo -s [enter]
Password: <-- passwd [enter]
[root@server /usr/home/user]#

N.B.: Enter user password, not the root password!

Installation

The server used in this example is configured to contain one partition called /tftpboot used for PXE related files.

Add the Disk Imaging and Partitioning Utility option to the PXE Boot Main Menu with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# ee /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default [enter]

…the add the following text, example:

...
MENU COLOR HOTKEY 0 #ff00ff00 #ee000000 std
MENU COLOR HOTSEL 0 #ffffffff #85000000 std

LABEL f1
MENU LABEL ^1)  Disk Imaging and Partitioning Utilities
KERNEL vesamenu.c32
APPEND top.cfg f01.cfg bottom.cfg

LABEL blank
MENU LABEL
...

The PXE Boot Sub-Menu for Disk Imaging and Partitioning Utilities is defined in file /tftpboot/f01.cfg.

Create this file with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# ee /tftpboot/f01.cfg [enter]

..and then add the following text, example:

MENU TITLE  Disk Imaging and Partitioning Utilities

Change file modes

Change file modes for file /tftpboot/f01.cfg with:

[root@server ~]# chmod -R 755 /tftpboot/f01.cfg [enter]
[root@server /usr/home/user]#

Create a folder for Disk Imaging and Partitioning Utilities files with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# mkdir /tftpboot/f01 [enter]
[root@server /usr/home/user]#

NFSv4 Server Setup

Service start on boot

List installed NFS services with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# service -r | grep /nfs [enter]
/etc/rc.d/nfsclient
/etc/rc.d/nfsuserd
/etc/rc.d/nfsd
/etc/rc.d/nfscbd
[root@server /usr/home/user]#

Find the rcvar for /etc/rc.d/nfsclient with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# /etc/rc.d/nfsclient rcvar [enter]
# nfsclient : NFS client setup
#
nfs_client_enable="NO"
#   (default: "")

[root@server /usr/home/user]#

Find the rcvar for /etc/rc.d/nfsuserd with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# /etc/rc.d/nfsuserd rcvar [enter]
# nfsuserd : Load user and group information into the kernel for NFSv4 services and support manage-gids for all NFS versions
#
nfsuserd_enable="NO"
#   (default: "")

[root@server /usr/home/user]#

Find the rcvar for /etc/rc.d/nfsd with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# /etc/rc.d/nfsd rcvar [enter]
# nfsd : Remote NFS server
#
nfs_server_enable="NO"
#   (default: "")

[root@server /usr/home/user]#

Find the rcvar for /etc/rc.d/nfscbd with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# /etc/rc.d/nfscbd rcvar [enter]
# nfscbd : NFSv4 client side callback daemon
#
nfscbd_enable="NO"
#   (default: "")

[root@server /usr/home/user]#

N.B.: Since an NFSv4 mount uses the host uuid to identify the client uniquely to the server, you cannot safely do an NFSv4 mount when
it is set to hostid_enable=”NO”!

Add the following to /etc/rc.conf, assuming they’re not already there:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# echo '' >> /etc/rc.conf; echo '# NFS Server' >> /etc/rc.conf; echo 'rpcbind_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf; echo 'mountd_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf; echo 'nfs_server_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf; echo 'nfsv4_server_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf; echo 'nfsuserd_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf [enter]

Export Settings

Now we need to create an NFS export settings file /etc/exports with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# ee /etc/exports [enter]

…and the add the following text:

V4: /
/tmp \
-maproot=root -network 192.168.1.0 -mask 255.255.255.0

This example assumes your network is 192.168.1.0/24; if it’s something else, you’ll need to make appropriate changes.

Now start all of the above services:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# service rpcbind start [enter]
Starting rpcbind.
[root@server /usr/home/user]#
[root@server /usr/home/user]# service mountd start [enter]
Starting mountd.
[root@server /usr/home/user]#
[root@server /usr/home/user]# service nfsd start [enter]
Starting nfsd.
[root@server /usr/home/user]#

Verify that the NFS mount is being exported with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# showmount -e [enter]
Exports list on localhost:
/tmp                               192.168.1.0
[root@server /usr/home/user]#

After you have performed an update of file /etc/exports, re-read the exports settings with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# service mountd reload [enter]
[root@server /usr/home/user]#

If your NFS exported directories will not be accessed locally (and Samba counts as local access), then you can enable NFSv4 delegations to improve performance. On a FreeBSD NFS server, they may be enabled globally for all exports by adding the following line to /etc/sysctl.conf with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# echo 'vfs.nfsd.issue_delegations=1' >> /etc/sysctl.conf [enter]
[root@server /usr/home/user]#

packet filter (pf)

Access to the tftpd service must be enabled in the packet filter (pf) configuration file.

Start editing file /etc/pf.conf with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# ee /etc/pf.conf [enter]

…and add port information to enable access to the NFS service from clients on the local network as in this example:

...
# Ports:
...
#  111 TCP UDP   Open Network Computing Remote Procedure Call (ONC RPC, sometimes referred to as Sun RPC)
...
# 2049 TCP UDP	Network File System (NFS)
...
tcp_pass="{ ... 111, ... 2049, ... }"
udp_pass="{ ... 111, ... 2049, ... }"
...

Check /etc/pf.conf for errors, but do not load ruleset with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# pfctl -vvnf /etc/pf.conf [enter]

…and then reload /etc/pf.conf with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# service pf reload  [enter]
Reloading pf rules.
[root@server /usr/home/user]#

Clonezilla Live

You’re probably familiar with the popular proprietary commercial package Norton Ghost®. The problem with this kind of software packages is that it takes a lot of time to massively clone systems to many computers. You’ve probably also heard of Symantec’s solution to this problem, Symantec Ghost Corporate Edition® with multicasting. Well, now there is an OpenSource clone system (OCS) solution called Clonezilla with unicasting and multicasting!

Clonezilla, based on DRBL, Partclone and udpcast, allows you to do bare metal backup and recovery. Two types of Clonezilla are available, Clonezilla live and Clonezilla SE (server edition). Clonezilla live is suitable for single machine backup and restore. While Clonezilla SE is for massive deployment, it can clone many (40 plus!) computers simultaneously. Clonezilla saves and restores only used blocks in the harddisk. This increases the cloning efficiency. At the NCHC’s Classroom C, Clonezilla SE was used to clone 41 computers simultaneously. It took only about 10 minutes to clone a 5.6 GBytes system image to all 41 computers via multicasting!

SystemRescueCd 32bit and 64bit kernel

SystemRescueCd is a Linux system rescue disk available as a bootable CD-ROM or USB stick for administrating or repairing your system and data after a crash. It aims to provide an easy way to carry out admin tasks on your computer, such as creating and editing the hard disk partitions. It comes with a lot of Linux software such as system tools (parted, partimage, fstools, …) and basic tools (editors, midnight commander, network tools). It requires no installation. It can be used on Linux servers, Linux desktops or windows boxes. The kernel supports the important file systems (ext2/ext3/ext4, reiserfs, reiser4, btrfs, xfs, jfs, vfat, ntfs, iso9660), as well as network filesystems (samba and nfs).

phpMyAdmin with PHP v. 7.0

By | | Comments 0 Comment

Description

phpMyAdmin is a free software tool written in PHP, intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the Web. phpMyAdmin supports a wide range of operations on MySQL and MariaDB. Frequently used operations (managing databases, tables, columns, relations, indexes, users, permissions, etc) can be performed via the user interface, while you still have the ability to directly execute any SQL statement.

WWW: http://www.phpmyadmin.net.

Requirentments

The following applications must be installed, configured and running before installation of phpMyAdmin:

Preparation for Installation

Start PuTTY on a Windows PC, Terminal on a Mac or similar terminal application on a Linux PC.

In this example Terminal on a Mac is used.

Open a remote SSH session to the server with:

Mac:~ user$ ssh user@192.168.1.4 [enter]
N.B.: Replace user@192.168.1.4 with User ID and IP Address on Your server! 
[user@server ~]$

Enable superuser privileges with:

[user@server ~]$ sudo -s [enter]
Password: <-- passwd [enter]
[root@server /usr/home/user]#

N.B.: Enter user password, not the root password!

Warning!

N.B.: Do NOT install phpMyAdmin from port if the PHP version installed is > 5.6!

Verify version of PHP installed with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# php -v [enter]
PHP 7.0.15 (cli) (built: Jan 24 2017 01:18:59) ( NTS )

Description

PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML.

WWW: http://www.php.net.

Requirements

The following application(s) must be installed, configured and running before PHP is installed:

  1. Apache HTTP Server

Preparation for Installation

Start PuTTY on a Windows PC, Terminal on a Mac or similar terminal application on a Linux PC.

In this example Terminal on a Mac is used.

Open a remote SSH session to the server with:

Mac:~ user$ ssh user@192.168.1.4 [enter]
N.B.: Replace user@192.168.1.4 with User ID and IP Address on Your server! 
[user@server ~]$

Enable superuser privileges with:

[user@server ~]$ sudo -s [enter]
Password: <-- passwd [enter]
[root@server /usr/home/user]#

N.B.: Enter user password, not the root password!

Installation

N.B.: Current version of Appache will be installed if missing!
Search for “mod_php” in the remote package repositories with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# pkg search "mod_php" [enter]
mod_php56-5.6.30               PHP Scripting Language
mod_php70-7.0.20_1             PHP Scripting Language
mod_php71-7.1.6_1              PHP Scripting Language
[root@server /usr/home/user]#

In this example php71, php71-extensions and mod_php71 will be installed with;

[root@server /usr/home/user]# pkg install php71 php71-extensions mod_php71 [enter]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- apache24 default build changed from static MPM to modular MPM
- more modules are now enabled per default in the port
- icons and error pages moved from WWWDIR to DATADIR

   If build with modular MPM and no MPM is activated in
   httpd.conf, then mpm_prefork will be activated as default
   MPM in etc/apache24/modules.d to keep compatibility with

You should add the following to your Apache configuration file:


    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php


    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source


***************************************************************
[root@server /usr/home/user]#

Configuration

Create a configurations file for PHP from the recommended production template file with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# cp /usr/local/etc/php.ini-production /usr/local/etc/php.ini [enter]
[root@server /usr/home/user]#

…and then edit /usr/local/etc/php.ini to meet your demands with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# ee /usr/local/etc/php.ini [enter]

Got to line 663 and increase post_max_size from 8M to 32M;

; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
; http://php.net/post-max-size
post_max_size = 32M

Exit ee by pressing <esc> and save your changes.

Create an Includes configuration file, /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/php.conf, with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# ee /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/php.conf [enter]

…and add the following text:

<IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.shtml index.html
    <FilesMatch "\.php$">
        SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
    </FilesMatch>
    <FilesMatch "\.phps$">
        SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
    </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

Exit ee by pressing <esc> and save your changes.

PHP Locale Settings

Display current active locale setting on the system with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# locale [enter]
LANG=en_SE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_SE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_SE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_SE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_SE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_SE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_SE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
[root@server /usr/home/user]#

You can list all UTF-8 locales on the system with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# locale -a | grep '\.UTF-8$' [enter]

Locale settings for the server in this example is en_SE.UTF-8. This is a customized locale setting based on en_US.UTF-8 with modified TIME settings for 24h only display and with Swedish MONITARY and NUMERIC settings.

PHP will not read the locale settings when the charset type is appended to the locale name. ( ie: sv_SE.ISO8859-1, en_SE.UTF-8 ). The solution is to create a symbolic link to the selected locale directory.

Create a symbolic link to en_SE with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# ln -s /usr/share/locale/en_SE.UTF-8 /usr/share/locale/en_SE [enter]

Test your PHP installation

Create a test file with:

[root@server /usr/home/user]# echo "<?php phpinfo() ?>" > /usr/local/www/apache24/data/info.php [enter]

…then point your browser to: http://www.example.net/info.php.
