Installation
Windows binaries may be found at
» http://snaps.php.net/.
To install, download php_ssh2.dll to the folder specified
by your php.ini file's extension_dir directive.
Enable it by adding extension=php_ssh2.dll
to your php.ini and restarting your web server.
extension_dir=c:/php5/exts/
extension=php_ssh2.dll
Linux, BSD, and other *nix variants
can be compiled using the following steps:
-
Download and install » OpenSSL.
If you install OpenSSL via your distribution's packaging system
be sure to install the development libraries as well.
This will typically be a package named openssl-dev,
openssl_devel, or some variation thereof.
-
Download and install » libssh2.
Typically this means executing the following command from
the libssh2 source tree. ./configure && make all install.
-
Run the pear installer for PECL/ssh2: pear install ssh2
-
Copy ssh2.so from the directory indicated by the
build process to the location specified in your php.ini file under
extension_dir.
-
Add extension=ssh2.so to your php.ini
-
Restart your web server to reload your php.ini settings.
Note:
Development Versions
There are currently no stable versions of PECL/ssh2,
to force installation of the beta version of PECL/ssh2
execute: pear install ssh2-beta
Tip
Compiling PECL/ssh2 without using the PEAR command
Rather than using pear install ssh2 to automatically
download and install PECL/ssh2, you may download the tarball from
» PECL.
From the root of the unpacked tarball, run:
phpize && ./configure --with-ssh2 && make
to generate ssh2.so.
Once built, continue the installation from step 4 above.
Information for installing this PECL extension may be
found in the manual chapter titled Installation
of PECL extensions. Additional information such as new releases,
downloads, source files, maintainer information, and a CHANGELOG, can be
located here:
» http://pecl.php.net/package/ssh2.
Note:
You will need version 0.4 or greater of the libssh2 library
(possibly higher, see release notes).
