title: SSH2 PHP Extension
body: <p>I have been trying for a while to get the SSH 2 extension for php installed on my CentOS 5.6 x64 server. I started the server from scratch and here are the steps I have taken</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>install and configure APF</li>
  <li>install apache</li>
  <li>install php</li>
  <li>install mysql</li>
  <li>add epel repository</li>
  <li>install php-pear so I can use pecl</li>
  <li>run yum install libssh2-devel</li>
  <li>run pecl install ssh2-beta</li>
  <li>echo extension=ssh2.so>>/etc/php.ini
  (There were a few extra things in there such as installing phpMyadmin and wordpress)</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>After this I run php -m to see the php modules and ssh2 is not listed. I have been searching forever for tutorials and have found a few but from what I can see I have done everything correctly. Can anyone see where I am going wrong. I can provide any config files you may need. Also I have hear about phpseclib and was wondering if this would be an easier/better route? Any help would be greatly appreciated!</p>
