Install SSH module for PHP¶

This installation occurs on the web server.

The ssh2 extension for php¶

For newer systems the extension is available through the repository, e.g., on Fedora 12 type "sudo yum install php-pecl-ssh2"

Download and compile the ssh2 extension¶

This setup is almost identical to the Install the MRC PHP Extension. See http://www.php.net/manual/en/ssh2.installation.php for more information.

1. Go the website http://pecl.php.net/package/ssh2
2. Download the latest version of ssh2:

   wget http://pecl.php.net/get/ssh2-0.11.0.tgz

3. Extract the tar ball

   tar zxvf ssh2-0.11.0.tgz

4. Go into the directory

   cd ssh2-0.11.0

5. Run phpize and standard make process

   phpize
   ./configure
   make

6. Install the module:

   sudo make install

7. Add a ssh2.ini to your php ini folder:

   sudo touch /etc/php.d/ssh2.ini
   sudo chmod 666 /etc/php.d/ssh2.ini
   echo "; Enable ssh2 extension module" > /etc/php.d/ssh2.ini
   echo "extension=ssh2.so" >> /etc/php.d/ssh2.ini
   sudo chmod 444 /etc/php.d/ssh2.ini
   cat /etc/php.d/ssh2.ini
   

8. Restart httpd:

   sudo /sbin/service httpd restart

Test if the module is working:¶

1. go to the info.php that was created earlier in the Install the MRC PHP Extension, http://localhost/info.php or http://HOST.INSTITUTE.EDU/info.php
2. search for the ssh2 module, you should see this section:
