How to set up VestaCP with PHP7.2 and MariaDB10.3

YOU MUST USE A FRESH SERVER AND YOU NEED TO DO IT BEFORE INSTALLING THE VESTACP.

So let’s begin

Install Dependencies

yum install nano wget yum-utils -y

MariaDB

Let’s add MariaDB repo to the CentOS so that when it installs MySQL, MariaDB will be installed by default.

nano /etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo

Add below text to the file

# MariaDB 10.3 CentOS repository list - created 2019-05-31 16:22 UTC
# http://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/
[mariadb]
name = MariaDB
baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.3/centos7-amd64
gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
gpgcheck=1

PHP

For PHP we need to enable Remi & EPEL Repository.

CentOS 7
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
wget http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
rpm -Uvh remi-release-7.rpm epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

CentOS 6
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm wget 
http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm 
rpm -Uvh remi-release-7.rpm epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm

Now let’s enable PHP7.2 for the system

yum-config-manager --enable remi-php72
yum clean all

Now you can install VestaCP as it described here.

Optional

yum-config-manager --disable remi-php56
yum-config-manager --disable remi-php70
yum-config-manager --disable remi-php71
