PHP on Raspberry PI
We want to run Embedded Webserver, and use PHP to run executable on Raspberry PI board from remote.
Information
Board : Raspberry Pi v4
Linux OS : Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
PHP installation
Step 1: First step is to download source code of latest PHP version
https://www.php.net/downloads
at the time of writing this blog, latest version as php-8.1.12.
Download php-8.1.12.tar.gz file.
Step 2: Extract file
$ tar zxfv php-8.1.12.tar.gz
$ cd php-8.1.12/
Step 3: Meeting dependencies
$ sudo apt install autoconf automake libtool re2c bison libxml2-dev libsqlite3-dev
Step 4: Configuring php
$ ./configure --enable-fpm --with-mysqli
Note: Other possible configuration options ...
--without-libxml --without-sqlite3
for all possible options run this command ...
./configure --help
After successful configuration, Makefile will be generated.
Step 5: Build
$ make
Step 6: Install
$ sudo make install
PHP Configuration
PHP Related configuration files
1. /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf
Include path for php_fpm.d/*.conf
2. /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf
Entry for www-data user and group
3. /usr/local/php/php.ini
Config settings for : upload sizes, file timeouts, and resource limits.
Settings cgi.fix_pathinfo=0
NGINX Related config files
1. /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Setting for location, fastcgi_* etc.
Let us copy configuration files present into the PHP directory "~/php-8.1.12". Here is how we did copy of configuration files on our system.
$ cd ~/php-8.1.12
$ sudo cp php.ini-development /usr/local/php/php.ini
$ sudo cp /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf.default /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf
$ sudo cp sapi/fpm/php-fpm.conf /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf
Copy php-fpm (FastCGI Process Manager) to bin
$ sudo cp sapi/fpm/php-fpm /usr/local/bin
Modify location
location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
root html;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
# include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
# # With php-fpm (or other unix sockets):
# fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
# # With php-cgi (or other tcp sockets):
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
}
Running PHP
start php-fpm
$ sudo php-fpm
We can verify whether PHP is running. We can use "ps -ef" command. And observe process php-fpm.
$ pi@raspberrypi:~/php-8.1.12 $ ps -ef | grep php
root 91554 1 0 19:19 ? 00:00:00 php-fpm: master process (/usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf)
www-data 91555 91554 0 19:19 ? 00:00:00 php-fpm: pool www
www-data 91556 91554 0 19:19 ? 00:00:00 php-fpm: pool www
pi 91581 1731 0 19:23 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto php
PHP page
we will create index.php in "/var/www/html/" directory. Following will be the content of php file...
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
if you can see such webpage, than php is properly configured and running.
