h1. Web Server Installation on CentOS 6 

 Before you start, make sure you have CentOS 6 installed on your computer. Note that upgrading from CentOS 5 to CentOS 6 might damage existing filesystems and operating systems as described in "CentOS Migration Guide":http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/MigrationGuide. That's why we recommend starting with a fresh install of CentOS 6. The following links provide excellent step by step guide on how to install CentOS 6 Linux from scratch on a new machine: 

 * http://linuxmoz.com/how-to-install-centos-6-linux-for-servers-desktops 
 * http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2011/centos-6-netinstall-network-installation 

 In the package selection step switch from Minimal to Web Server.

 h4. Disable SELinux and Firewall 

 To disable "SELinux":http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux: 

 # Edit file "/etc/selinux/config" 
 # Change "SELINUX=enforcing" to "SELINUX=disabled" 
 # Save the file 
 # Restart your computer 

 To disable firewall run _system-config-firewall-tui_ command and use Space key to unchecked the checkbox next to Enabled. 

 h3. Install Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) 

 <pre> 
 rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm 
 </pre> 

 Note that release version (6-8) is the current release at the time of this writing. Please visit http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#How_can_I_install_the_packages_from_the_EPEL_software_repository.3F for more up-to-date information on how to install the packages from the EPEL software repository. 

 <pre> 
 yum install php-gd gcc libssh2-devel php-pecl-ssh2 mod_ssl php-mysql php-devel php fftw3-devel python-imaging python-devel mod_python scipy svn 
 easy_install fs PyFFTW3 
 </pre> 

 h3. [[Configure php.ini]] 

 Edit /etc/php.ini and change line ~229 to 
 <pre> 
 short_open_tag = On 
 </pre> 

 Note that short_open_tag appears twice in /etc/php.ini and you need to set "short_open_tag = On":http://www.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?p=155513 at around line 229 for it to take effect. 

 h3. Start Apache HTTP Server 

 <pre> 
 service httpd start 
 chkconfig httpd on 
 </pre> 

 See also: "How to start Apache at Startup on Centos or Red Hat Enterprise Linux using chkconfig":http://thevagabondgeek.com/12-how-to-start-apache-at-startup-on-centos-or-red-hat-enterprise-linux-using-chkconfig. 

 If you have a file server that stores Appion and Leginon session, start and enable nfs services as well: 

 <pre> 
 service nfs start 
 chkconfig nfs on 
 </pre>
