Today I'm angry with the world. Why didn't anyone tell me *Red Hat* had a decent operating system? I have had to deal with a team **CentOS 7** and I leave some notes here just for reference, and I'll complete them with some difficulties. The profile will be of web developers. Let's go!.
You must know your network adapter and modify a file. Run *ip -a address* for example to find your adapter (from my virtual machine, it's called *enp0s3*) and look for the adapter in the following path: */etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/*. In my case the file to edit is *ifcfg-enp0s3*. Change *ONBOOT=no to ONBOOT=yes* and restart.
You have the option to install *PHP 5.6* by following the steps in the following link at [blog.hostonnet.com](https://blog.hostonnet.com/install-php-5-6-on-centos-7-server) and *7.0* also at [blog.hostonnet.com](https://blog.hostonnet.com/centos-7-php-7-0). Then *service httpd restart* to restart *Apache* and it should work. Remember that to install any package, the command in *CentOS* is *yum install package-name*.
Add the next rule to *iptables*:
Mis apuntes de...
iptables -I INPUT 4 -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
Make a symbolic link:
ln -s /usr/bin/php56 /usr/bin/php
That's a good choice. Follow the steps in this post at [tecadmin.net](https://tecadmin.net/install-laravel-framework-on-centos/). Skip the step to install *Laravel*, because depending on the version you are going to use, you'll need a different version of *php*. For that, better go to the official documentation, but basically you must execute the following:
composer global require "laravel/installer"
laravel new blog # latest available version
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog "5.4.*" # Version 5.4
# set the permissions
chown -R apache.apache /var/www/blog
chmod -R 755 /var/www/blog
