PHP-Openssl extension for Amazon Linux 2023

0

I'm looking for guidance on how to install/enable PHP-OpenSSL extension for AL2023 OS?

We are running PHP 8.2.20 on AL 2023. We installed PHP core as a third-party software. With this we need to install PHP-OpenSSL. https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.openssl.php, this site has the extension.

With my limited knowledge of PHP, how do I go about installing?

Thank you in advance.

Hello.

I started EC2 on Amazon Linux 2023 with my AWS account and installed php8.2.

sudo dnf install php8.2 -y

When you check the installed modules using the "php -m" command, "opnessl" is included, so I think it is installed by default.

php -m

    Thank you!

    I need php version 8.2.20, per our security requirements. What is the upgrade process?

    The default repository used by Amazon Linux2023 installs 8.2.12, so 8.2.20 cannot be installed. 8.3 is distributed in the Amazon Linux 2023 repository, so why not use it?

    Delete php8.2 and then install php8.3 as shown below. I also recommend that you create a snapshot of EC2 before executing the command below. If possible, create a test environment to test the upgrade before upgrading the production environment.

    sudo dnf remove php8.2
sudo dnf install php8.3

Hi,

If your goal is to have ssl / tls encryption, the full procedure for AL2023 is detailled here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2023/ug/SSL-on-amazon-linux-2023.html

Best,

Didier

The customer is requesting us to be on PHP version 8.2.20 on Amazon Linux 2023.

Just to recap we got PHP package from Amazon repo and that is at 8.2.18. There are no updates to this.

Uninstalled 8.2.18 and installed 8.2.20 as a third-party package. Now, many of the PHP extensions are missing in this version compared to 8.2.18. How do we get them installed? For example, openssl is missing Any pointers or any blogs that could be shared.

Thanks again.
