    sudo dnf --enablerepo=remi install php-cli php-pear php-pdo php-mysqlnd php-gd php-mbstring php-mcrypt php-xml

    Step 4 – Manage Apache Service

    At this point, your system has installed the Apache web server, PHP, and modules. Now start the Apache server and also enable them to autostart on system boot.

    For CentOS/RHEL 7 and Fedora

    sudo systemctl start httpd.service 
sudo systemctl enable httpd.service

    For CentOS/RHEL 6 

    service httpd start 
chkconfig --levels 235 httpd on

      In order to log into MySQL to secure it, we’ll need the current
      password for the root user. If you’ve just installed MySQL, and
      you haven’t set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
      so you should just press enter here.

      Enter current password for root (enter for none):
      ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (2)
      Enter current password for root (enter for none):
