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 | | bq. For newer systems the extension is available through the repository, e.g., on Fedora 12 type "@sudo yum install php-pecl-ssh2@" h2. CentOS 6: Install the ssh2 extension <pre> sudo yum install php-pecl-ssh2 </pre> h2. CentOS 5: Download and compile the ssh2 extension bq. 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. # Go the website http://pecl.php.net/package/ssh2 # Download the latest version of ssh2:<pre> wget http://pecl.php.net/get/ssh2-0.11.3.tgz</pre> # Extract the tar ball<pre> tar zxvf ssh2-0.11.3.tgz</pre> # Go into the directory<pre> cd ssh2-0.11.3</pre> # Run phpize and standard make process<pre> phpize ./configure make</pre> # Install the module:<pre> sudo make install</pre> # Add a ssh2.ini to your php ini folder:<pre> 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 </pre> # Restart httpd:<pre> sudo /sbin/service httpd restart</pre> h2. Test that if the module is working: # 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 # search for the ssh2 module, you should see this section: !http://emg.nysbc.org/attachments/220/ssh2box.png! h2. Still having problems? # 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)
