Hello Forum, I’m following these instructions here to install Nextcloud 18 on CentOS 7: > **[How to install NextCloud 18 server on CentOS 8.x and 7.x – Marksei](https://www.marksei.com/how-to-install-nextcloud-18-server-on-centos-7-8/)** > > Install NextCloud 18 on CentOS 7 and 8 today following this tutorial. NextCloud is a Dropbox-like solution for self-hosted file sharing, calendar and more. These instructions do not include the necessary steps to install what I need to have ldap app installed on Nextcloud 18? I’ve looked in the Nextcloud Wiki and I see reference to ldap…but I’m not seeing what I need to install as in: #yum install … To be clear. I have a domain on another server. But I want to connect my Nextcloud 18 to that domain. What do I need to install on my CentOS 7 to enable the ldap app on Nextcloud 18? Any advice you can provide for me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. ---

Does no one connect their local Nextcloud installed on CentOS to a domain? If not CentOS then should I install Nextcloud on another OS (Ubuntu) to make this work? ---

For anyone who finds this thread useful the following seemed to solve my problem. I then used the following command to install php ldab on my CentOS which allowed me to install ldap APP on my Nextcloud: I first did a search of rpm to see which version of PHP I was using: rpm -qa _php7_ This showed me that I had php72 installed. yum install php72w-ldap.x86\_64 Cheers! ---
