Install ssh2 php centos 7

We have already discussed about how to install and configure SSH2 extension in XAMPP in Linux System, same process will configure in your PHP.

Step 1 : Before start, we need to update and install the necessary packages for  build/install ssh2 extension

#  yum update

#  yum install  make gcc  libssh2  php-devel php-pearlibssh2-devel

Step 2 : Install ssh2 extension using pecl command for  auto detect and download once hit enter,

#  pecl install -f ssh2

downloading ssh2-0.12.tgz ...

Starting to download ssh2-0.12.tgz (26,223 bytes)

Configuring for:

PHP Api Version:         20100412

Zend Module Api No:      20100525

libssh2 prefix? [autodetect] :

.....

Build process completed successfully

Installing '/usr/lib64/php/modules/ssh2.so'

install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/ssh2-0.12

configuration option "php_ini" is not set to php.ini location

You should add "extension=ssh2.so" to php.ini

Step 3 : Once the package has been installed in your system, we need to configure the extension to PHP (php.ini  or ssh2.ini)

# echo "extension=ssh2.so" >  /etc/php.d/ssh2.ini

or

# echo "extension=ssh2.so"  > /etc/php.ini

Step 4 : Finally restart your web server

# service restart httpd.service

Now, check the module whether is configure with PHP,

# php -m | grep ssh2

ssh2

Also can  check in your phpinfo();

In CentOS 7, what about enabling EPEL and then yum install php-pecl-ssh2

EDIT: Looks like CentOS 7 includes PHP 5 by default. The ssh2 page (https://pecl.php.net/package/ssh2) says:

ssh2 1.0 and above is PHP 7 only. To install a version that is PHP 5 compatible you can run 'pecl install ssh2-0.13'
