In CentOS 7, MySQl is moved to MariaDB, execute the following command to install MariaDB.

# yum -y install mariadb-server mariadb-devel

Enable MariaDB service to start it a the system boot and start its service.

# systemctl enable mariadb

# systemctl start mariadb

Now let do the security hardening of MariaDB by execute the following command.

# mysql_secure_installation

We need to create a database and a user for Cacti application and grant it all database privileges.

# mysql -u root -p
mysql> create database phpipamdb01;
mysql> grant all on phpipamdb01.* to phpipamuser01@localhost identified by 'P@ssword01';

4. Installing PHPIPAM Application

To install PHPIPAM IP network management, we need to install some mandatory packages as the following first.

# yum -y install httpd php php-cli php-gd php-common php-ldap php-pdo php-pear php-snmp php-xml php-mysql

We need to set correct locales to be used on server, they are required also for translations. Add following to file /etc/environment for
en_US coding.

# vim /etc/environment
LC_ALL=en_US.utf-8
LANG=en_US.utf-8

easy to upgrades PHPIPAM application to a newer versions latter.

# cd /var/www/
# mv phpipam phpipam.1.3
# ln -s phpipam.1.3 phpipam

Also, we need to make sure that the permissions on the PHPIPAM IP management system root directories are set correctly as the
following.

# chown apache:apache -R /var/www/phpipam.1.3

Next, we need to open HTTP port 80 on IPTables.

# vim /etc/sysconfig/iptables
-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
# systemctl restart iptables
# iptables -L -n -v

Usually, the default PHP installation usually has not configured the correct timezone or php error reporting.

While not required to run GPLI application, it’s highly recommended to enable error reporting to syslog for troubleshooting issues with
plugins or other scripts. Edit file /etc/php.ini as the following.

# vim /etc/php.ini
date.timezone = Asia/Phnom_Penh
log_errors = syslog

Then, we need to restart Apache service.

# systemctl restart httpd

Make a copy of file /var/www/phpipam.1.3/config.dist.php to config.php and enter required details.

For automatic installation PHPIPAM IP address management system will configure database with settings you enter in this config.php
file. For manual installation you will have to do it yourself.

# cp /var/www/phpipam.1.3/config.dist.php /var/www/phpipam.1.3/config.php
# vim /var/www/phpipam.1.3/config.php

$db['host'] = 'localhost';
$db['user'] = 'phpipamuser01';
$db['pass'] = 'P@ssword01';
$db['name'] = 'phpipamudb01';
$db['port'] = 3306;

Now we need to import SCHEMA.sql file into the created database with following command.

# cd /var/www/phpipam.1.3
# mysql -u root -p phpipamdb01 < db/SCHEMA.sql

We also need to disable SELinux.

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerName ipam.techspacekh.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/phpipam

ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/phpipam.techspacekh.com.log"
CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/phpipam.techspacekh.com.log" combined

</VirtualHost>

6. Integrate PHPIPAM IP Address Management System With

Google Map

It is also possible if you wish to integrate PHPIPAM ip address management system with Google Map by using Google Map API. So,
you can see the location of your branches exactly in Google Map.

First we need to create a Google Maps API key. Go to https://console.developers.google.com and login using your Gmail account and
then go to Google Maps APIs section and click on “Google Maps JavaScript API”

Then, you need to create a project to get an API key and make sure that it is enabled.

After that, go to Credentials tab and copy the API key you created to past on file config.php of PHPIPAM.

http://www.techspacekh.com/installing-phpipam-for-ip-address-management-system-on-rhelcentos-7/ 9/12
1/25/2018 How to Install PHPIPAM on CentOS 7 RHEL 7 | Tech Space KH

Open file “/var/www/phpipam/config.php” with your favorite text editor and past the Google Maps API key that you copied from above
step as the following.

# vim /var/www/phpipam/config.php
$gmaps_api_key = "AIzaSyDl6RFZZZZZ_MM_KKKKKK_YVxJo2i4lg";

Then, you need to restart Apache web server services.

# systemctl restart httpd

Now you should be able to see your branch location appears in Google Maps of PHPIPAM as the following.
