This guides on installing self hosted speedtest script is based on the guides by Freedif which describe how to do it on Ubuntu. I have followed the steps with some alteration to suit Centos 7.4 on my VM. It is assumed that LAMP is already in place.

1. Install basic requirements

yum install libapache2-mod-php php-mcrypt

2. Some Apache and PHP configurations

nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Put “KeepAlive On” at the end of file. Save the file.

nano /etc/php.ini

Change the values for the followings:

max_execution_time = 90
max_input_time = 90
memory_limit = 128M
post_max_size = 50M
upload_max_filesize = 50M

Save the file.

3. Restart web server

systemctl restart httpd

4. Clone the repo


yum install git
cd /var/www/html
git clone https://github.com/adolfintel/speedtest
cd speedtest


Copy page template as the default landing page.

cp example-gauges.html index.html

Restart the web server again.

systemctl restart httpd

That’s it. Credits to original author here.
