Step-by-Step Guide to Installing phpIPAM on Linux: From Apache to MariaDB

1. Set up system environment and install dependencies

Disable SELinux and reboot:

sed -i '/SELINUX/s/enforcing/disabled/' /etc/selinux/config && reboot

Stop firewall: systemctl stop firewalld Install required packages:

yum install epel-release -y
yum install wget vim net-tools httpd mariadb-server php php-cli php-gd php-common php-ldap php-pdo php-pear php-snmp php-xml php-mysql php-mbstring git -y

2. Configure and run Apache

Modify /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf to set the server name and enable URL rewriting:

ServerName localhost:80
<Directory "/var/www/html">
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride all
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Check the configuration: httpd -t -f /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf Set the timezone in /etc/php.ini: date.timezone = Asia/Shanghai Enable Apache to start on boot and start it now:

systemctl enable httpd
systemctl start httpd

3. Initialize MariaDB

Start and enable the MariaDB service:

systemctl start mariadb
systemctl enable mariadb

Secure the installation:

mysql_secure_installation

4. Download and configure phpIPAM

Clone the phpIPAM repository into the web root and checkout version 1.4:

cd /var/www/html
git clone https://github.com/phpipam/phpipam.git .
git checkout 1.4

Set correct ownership for the web files: chown apache:apache -R /var/www/html Copy the default configuration file and edit the base path:

cp config.dist.php config.php
define('BASE', "/phpipam");

Restart Apache to apply the changes:

systemctl restart httpd

5. Configure phpIPAM via the web interface

Open http://<em>server_ip</em>/phpipam in a browser, choose a new installation, provide the MariaDB credentials, create the phpIPAM database, and complete the initial setup wizard.
