Here is information pertaining to my nZEDb setup.

This implementation is on Centos 7.  Centos 7 was installed from a USB stick on an Intel NUC (no cd/dvd drive and I've yet to get the Centos 7 installer to work over PXE).

Timezone for PHP is: America/Los_Angeles

The version of nZEDb at the time of this install required PHP7 but Centos 7 has Centos 5.6.  Here is how to Install PHP 7 on Centos 7.
