Here is short tutorial how to satisfy Requirements for PhileCMS installation guide on CentOS 7.

# run all commands with root privileges or with sudo
$ su -

# install basic apache+php server
yum install httpd php

# enables apache by default and start it
systemctl start httpd
systemctl enable httpd

# allow it in filewall
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=https
systemctl restart firewalld

To enable mod_rewrite module, you should add AllowOverride All in the <Directory> section in apache's virtual host config file.

If you don't create extra config file and use just default /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, follow next steps:

• open default apache config file (vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf)
• find section for <Directory "/var/www/html">. It looks like

# Further relax access to the default document root:
<Directory "/var/www/html">
...
    #
    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    #   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride None
...
</Directory>

• replace AllowOverride None with AllowOverride All.
• systemctl restart httpd
