VALIDATE PASSWORD COMPONENT can be used to test passwords
and improve security. It checks the strength of password
and allows the users to set only those passwords which are
secure enough. Would you like to setup VALIDATE PASSWORD component?
Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No: y
There are three levels of password validation policy:
LOW Length >= 8
MEDIUM Length >= 8, numeric, mixed case, and special characters
STRONG Length >= 8, numeric, mixed case, special characters and dictionary file
Please enter 0 = LOW, 1 = MEDIUM and 2 = STRONG: 2
Change the password for root ? ((Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y
New password:
Re-enter new password:
Estimated strength of the password: 100
Do you wish to continue with the password provided?(Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y
Next press 'Y' for all to remove anonymous users, disallow remote root login, remove test database and reload privileges tables to effect the changes made.
Now you can now login to your MySQL 8 server as a root user with the password set above.
[root@centos ~]# mysql -u root -pnow you create database and exit . To check mysql version run below command
[root@centos ~]# mysql --version
mysql Ver 8.0.17 for Linux on x86_64 (Source distribution)
Step 3: Install php
By default CentOS ships with PHP 7.2. So you can install PHP using the following command.
yum install -y php php-mysqlndIf you want to install diffrent versions like 7.2/7.3/7.4 then use remi repository.
Before installing remi repo we will install EPEL repository like below
[root@centos ~]# yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpmThen install Remi Repository configuration package like below
[root@centos ~]# yum install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-8.rpm
After installing both epel and Remi repositories we will install php
First we will list the available PHP module stream.
[root@centos ~]# yum module list php
Remi's Modular repository for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64 104 kB/s | 510 kB 00:04
Safe Remi's RPM repository for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64 215 kB/s | 1.4 MB 00:06

php remi-7.2 common [d], devel, minimal PHP scripting language
php remi-7.3 [e] common [d], devel, minimal PHP scripting language
php remi-7.4 common [d], devel, minimal PHP scripting language
Now enable remi-7.3 module to install php-7.3
[root@centos ~]# yum module enable php:remi-7.3 -yInstall php modules if you require any of the them from below list.
[root@centos ~]# yum install php php-devel php-gd php-bcmath php-pdo php-mcrypt php-tidy php-mysql php-xml php-soap php-imap php-pgsql php-mbstringAfter installing package list you can check php version by following command.
[root@centos ~]# php -v
PHP 7.3.12 (cli) (built: Nov 19 2019 10:24:51) ( NTS )
Now restart apache service
[root@centos ~]# systemctl restart httpdNow we will go to default document root folder of apache
[root@centos ~]# cd /var/www/html/
[root@centos html]# vi info.php
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
save the file. Now open your browser and type http://ip_address/info.php
