Installation notes on CentOS 7
These are quick instructions on how to set up RecordManager. Please refer to the wiki pages for more information on the configuration and setup of RecordManager.
-
Required PHP packages: php php-pear php-xml php-xsl php-devel php-mbstring php-intl
yum install php php-pear php-xml php-devel php-mbstring php-intl -
Required PHP packages for polygon simplification in NominatimGeocoder (optional):
yum install geos geos-phpNote that as of September 2017 CentOS comes with geo 3.4.2 which has memory leaks
and problems with polygon simplification, so building at least version 3.6.2 from
source is recommended (see https://trac.osgeo.org/geos). With PHP 7 a recent
version of GEOS PHP bindings from https://git.osgeo.org/gogs/geos/php-geos is
required anyway.
yum install geos-develwill be needed to compile the bindings unless GEOS is
installed from source. -
Required pecl modules: mongodb
E.g. remi repos include a package for mongodb:
yum install php70-php-pecl-mongodbWebtatic too:
yum install php70w-pecl-mongodbIf there's no package available, use pecl to install mongodb:
yum install gcc make pecl install mongodbEither way, make sure it's at least v1.2.0. Earlier versions have problems with
pcntl. -
Add the extension=mongodb.so line to /etc/php.d/mongodb.ini
