PHP Warning: PHP Startup: ssh2: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20100525
PHP compiled with module API=20090626

Answer 1

libssh2 is notoriously difficult to install. Personally, I would recommend you try phpseclib, a pure PHP SSH2 implementation.

Answer 2

You could try to install ssh2 through yum, enabling remi.repo if required:

$ sudo yum install php-pecl-ssh2

It will install php-pecl-ssh2 package of the same version as your PHP is.

But it also possible to install it through pecl if you have any reasons to do it:

1. # yum install php-devel

2. # pecl channel-update pecl.php.net

3. # pecl install ssh2
