Install SSH module for PHP

Install SSH module for PHP

This installation occurs on the web server.

The ssh2 extension for php

If you have not already done so, install the following prerequisites:

Name: Download site: CentOS yum package name Fedora yum package name SuSE rpm name
php devel http://www.php.net php-devel php-devel
libssh2 devel http://www.libssh2.org libssh2-devel (found in epel repo) libssh2-devel
SSH PECL extension http://www.php.net/manual/en/ssh2.installation.php php-pecl-ssh2 php-pecl-ssh2
sudo yum install php-pecl-ssh2 php-devel libssh2-devel

Test that 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:

Still having problems?

  1. on one machine restarting httpd was not enough, I had to restart the entire system to get it working (even though it shows up under info.php)

This installation occurs on the web server.

The ssh2 extension for php

First, install the following prerequisites:

Name: Download site: CentOS yum package name Fedora yum package name SuSE rpm name
php devel http://www.php.net php-devel php-devel
libssh2 devel http://www.libssh2.org libssh2-devel (found in epel repo) libssh2-devel
SSH PECL extension http://www.php.net/manual/en/ssh2.installation.php - php-pecl-ssh2

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/ssh2-0.11.2.tgz
  3. Extract the tar ball
    tar zxvf ssh2-0.11.2.tgz
  4. Go into the directory
    cd ssh2-0.11.2
  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:
