About
LAMP
LAMP stack is a group of open source software used to get web
servers up and running. The acronym stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. The user to have root privileges on your VPS.
Step
1 - Install Apache :
Apache is
an open-source multi-platform web server. It provides a full range of web
server features including CGI, SSL and Virtual domains.
root@digidom:~# sudo apt-get update
root@digidom:~# sudo apt-get install
apache2
How to Find your Server’s IP address :
root@digidom:~# ifconfig
eth0 | grep inet | awk '{ print $2 }'
That’s it. To check if Apache is installed, go to your
browser and enter your server’s IP address (Eg. http://Your-Server-IP Address).
Step 2 - Install MySQL :
MySQL is a
powerful database management system used for organizing and retrieving
data. MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS)
that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases,
though SQLite probably has more total embedded deployments.
root@digidom:~# sudo apt-get install
mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql
During the
installation, MySQL will ask you to set a root password. If you miss this step while the program is installing, it is very easy to set the
password later from within the MySQL shell.
Re-enter the password.
To check the mysql Directory locations :
root@digidom:~# whereis mysql
mysql:/usr/bin/mysql /etc/mysql
/usr/lib/mysql /usr/share/mysql /usr/share/man/man1/mysql.1.gz
To create Database directory
structure :
Once you have installed MySQL, we should activate it with
this command "mysql_install_db"
To run security script that will
remove default setting :
Afterwards, we want to run a simple security script that will
remove some dangerous defaults and lock down access to our database system a
little bit. Start the interactive script by running "mysql_secure_installation".
Restart mysql service and Check the mysql status :
Step 3 - Install PHP :
PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor)
is a widely used open-source general purpose scripting language that is
especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML.
root@digidom:~# apt-get install php5
libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mcrypt
root@digidom:~# php -v
PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.5 (cli) (built: Oct 29
2014 11:59:10)

Zend Engine v2.5.0, Copyright (c)
1998-2014 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.0.3, Copyright (c) 1999-2014, by Zend Technologies
Modify apache server file and Add index.php to begin :
If a user requests a directory from the
server, Apache will first look for a file called index.html. We want to tell our web server
to prefer PHP files, so we'll make Apache look for an index.php file first.
root@digidom:~# vi /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.cgi index.pl
index.xhtml index.htm
</IfModule>
Check the PHP Modules :
PHP also has a variety of useful libraries and modules that
you can add onto your virtual server. You can see the libraries that are
available.

root@digidom:~# sudo apt-get
install "name of the module"
Step 4 - Check LAMP Server :
Although LAMP is installed, we can still take a look and see
the components online by creating a quick php info page.
To test PHP, create a sample “phpinfo.php” file in Apache Document Root folder.
Then Save and Exit.
Restart apache and mysql :
root@digidom:/var/www/html#
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
* Restarting web server apache2 [ OK ]
root@digidom:/var/lib/mysql#
/etc/init.d/mysql restart
* Stopping MySQL database server mysqld [ OK ]
* Starting MySQL database server mysqld [ OK ]
* Checking for tables which need an
upgrade, are corrupt or were not closed cleanly.
Navigate to http://server-ip-address/phpinfo.php. It
will display all the details about apache, mysql and php such as version, build date and commands
etc.
You can check php and mysql connectivity by using this script :
Testing MySQL connection with PHP script.Create the file /var/www/html/phpmysql.php then add the following
line on below. Replace the password with your mysql root password.
To see script running successfully.
That's it............
