LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) consists of the Linux operating system as development environment, the Apache HTTP Server as web server, the MySQL relational database management system (RDBMS) as DB (Data Base) system, and the PHP programming language as Server side (Back End) programming language.
LAMP is used as a Open Source stack of technologies solution to web development area. Windows version of this stack is called WAMP (Windows Apache MySQL PHP)
Installing LAMP on Arch Linux
With this line we will install all the necessary packages in one step, and the last update:
pacman -Syu apache php php-apache mariadb
HTTP
Edit
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Change ServerAdmin [email protected] as you need.
The folder of the WEB Pages by default is ServerRoot "/etc/httpd". Directory must be set to the same folder, so
change the line
<Directory "/etc/httpd">
This folder must have read and execution access, so
chmod o+x /etc/httpd
Change AllowOverride from none (default) to All so .htaccess will works.
Now you need the ~/public_html folder for each user. (to get the root page of each user as
http://localhost/~yourusername/. Unremark this line:
Include conf/extra/httpd-userdir.conf
Now as root you need to create the ~/public_html for each user and change the access to (755) of each one.
chmod 755 /home
chmod 755 /home/username
chmod 755 /home/username/public_html
You can comment out this line if you want to use SSL:
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
If you need to use virtual domains, uncomment the line:
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
and in /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf you must to add all the virtual domains. (plus into /etc/hosts
if you want to test those virtuals domains)
Edit /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-default.conf and change ServerSignature to Off and ServerToken to Prod for hiding critical data
PHP
Edit: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Comment out: LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_event.so
Uncomment: LoadModule mpm_prefork_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so
As last item in the LoadModule list, add LoadModule php7_module modules/libphp7.so
As last item in the include list, add Include conf/extra/php7_module.conf
Edit /etc/php/php.ini
Uncomment extension=mysqli.so and extension=pdo_mysql.so
Change the timezone as you need, for example:
date.timezone = America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires, date.default_latitude = 0.0, date.default_longitude= 0.0
MySQL
Run as root:
mysql_install_db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
Now you have the root of the MySQL Server.
Start MySQL daemon:
systemctl enable mysqld
systemctl start mysqld
At last, run:
sh /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
That all to get a web server ready to be customized as you need.
Installing LAMP on Ubuntu
Install apache:
sudo apt-get install apache2
Install MySql:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
Install PHP:
sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5
Restart system:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Check PHP installation:
php -r 'echo "\n\nYour PHP installation is working fine.\n\n\n";'
Installing LAMP stack on CentoOS
Install Apache Web Server
First step is to install web server Apache.
sudo yum -y install httpd
Once it is installed, enable (to run on startup) and start Apache web server service.
sudo systemctl enable --now httpd
Point your browser to:
http://localhost
You will see the default Apache web server page.
Install MariaDB Server
Second step is to install MariaDB:
sudo yum -y install mariadb-server
Then start and enable (on startup) the MariaDB server:
sudo systemctl enable --now mariadb
As needed, use mysql_secure_installation to secure your database.
This script will allow you to do the following:
Change the root user's password
Remove test databases
Disable remote access
Install PHP
sudo yum -y install php php-common
Then restart Apache's httpd service.
sudo systemctl restart httpd
To test PHP, create a file called index.php in /var/www/html.
Then add the following line to the file:
Then point your browser to:
http://localhost/index.php
You should see information related to your server. If you do not, ensure that php is for sure installed correctly by running the following command:
php --version
If you receive something like:
PHP 5.4.16 (cli) (built: Nov 6 2016 00:29:02) Copyright (c) 1997-2013 The PHP Group
Then PHP is installed correctly. If this is the case, please ensure that you've restarted your web server.
