ERROR: `phpize' failed
The problem is caused by the /tmp/ filesystem being mounted noexec, which keeps any programs on /tmp/ from being allowed to be executed, which breaks the install script.
To remount /tmp/ as executable, use:
[root@web1 ~]# mount -o remount,exec,suid /tmp
The it should install correctly.
After the install is done, remount the /tmp/ filesystem with the noexec permissions reset.
[root@web1 ~]# mount -o remount,noexec,nosuid /tmp
