Examples explaining how to deploy PHP to Alibaba Cloud

Alibaba Cloud is a comprehensive cloud computing service provider with cloud computing, big data, security and other technologies, and enjoys a high reputation in the industry. Deploying PHP projects on Alibaba Cloud is the choice of many developers. However, for some beginners, how to deploy PHP to Alibaba Cloud is still a difficult task. This article will introduce you in detail how to quickly and easily deploy PHP projects on Alibaba Cloud, allowing you to spend the shortest time and get the best results.

1. Alibaba Cloud purchase and configuration

Before deploying PHP, you first need to purchase an Alibaba Cloud host and complete the relevant configuration. If you already have an Alibaba Cloud account, you can go to the Alibaba Cloud official website and select the type and configuration of the cloud server you want to purchase. If you do not have an Alibaba Cloud account, you need to register an Alibaba Cloud account.

After purchasing the cloud server, you need to configure the server's firewall and security group policy. Security groups are used to configure and manage a virtual network environment where the cloud server is located, and are designed to maintain the security and stability of the host.

2. PHP installation and configuration

Installing PHP and other necessary software and libraries on the server is the second step to deploy the PHP project. Here are some steps you need to perform:

1. Update the packages on the server

First, you need to update the server packages using the following command:

sudo yum update

2. Install Apache

Next, you need to install the web server Apache. Use the following command to install:

sudo yum install httpd

After successful installation, you need to start the Apache service:

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

3. Install MySQL

If you need to deploy a database on the server, Then you need to install MySQL. Use the following command to install:

sudo yum install mysql-server

Note: When installing MySQL, you need to specify the root password. After the installation is complete, you need to start the MySQL service:

sudo systemctl start mysqld.service
sudo systemctl enable mysqld.service

4. Install PHP

After installing Apache and MySQL, the next step is to install PHP. Use the following command to install:

sudo yum install php php-mysql php-gd php-xml php-mbstring

After the installation is complete, you need to copy the php.ini file to the following location:

cp /etc/php.ini.default /etc/php.ini

Then, you need to restart the Apache service:

sudo systemctl restart httpd.service

3. Deploy PHP projects

After installing PHP and other necessary software and libraries, you can start deploying PHP projects. The following are the specific steps:

1. Copy the project file

First, you need to copy your PHP project file to the server. You can use an FTP client or tools like SCP for file transfer.

2. Configure Apache

Open Apache’s configuration file and enter edit mode using the following command:

sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

In the file, you need to find the following:

DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"

This is the default document root directory of Apache. You need to change /var/www/html to the actual file path of your project.

Next, you need to find the following:

<Directory "/var/www/html">

Inside the tag, you need to find the following:

AllowOverride None

Change it to:

AllowOverride All

This will allow the use of .htaccess files to configure the Apache service.

When you have finished making changes, save the file and exit edit mode. Then, you need to restart the Apache service:

sudo systemctl restart httpd.service

3. Configure the MySQL database

If you need to use the MySQL database on the server, then you need to create the corresponding database and database user in MySQL . Use the following command to enter the MySQL interactive command line:

mysql -u root -p

Under the corresponding command line, you need to enter your MySQL root password.

Next, you need to create the database and user you require. Use the following command to create:

CREATE DATABASE dbname;
CREATE USER 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dbname.* TO 'username'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

where dbname, username and password respectively represent the database name, database username and password you need to create.

After you complete the above operations, you have successfully deployed your PHP project and can test whether the project runs successfully.
