LAMP Installation guide.

Finally finsh the development for the project. Now is the time to host the application on server. Due to cost saving concern, the application will host on a Linux node in VM. So LAMP is the choice we have decide to deploy and host the application. LAMP basically is the acronym of Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.

As previously I am using the XAMPP to start the PHP project development on Window. So now I have to deploy all the file into this new Linux node.

It is quite difficult to me as I have little knowledge on Linux Ubuntu and all have to use command to perform the installation. After go through the installation, I found that it quite simple but 1 thing is you have to know the command and mind your typed text else the command unable to execute.

Before begin the installation, make sure that you have connect to internet.

So start with install Apache. Below is the command to install the Apache. You may just copy paste the command.

sudo apt-get install apache2

after install Apache, no need to rush to start the service. Let continue with install Mysql with command below.

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

And now install the PHP.

sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5

Well, we have finish the installation for Apache, MySQL and PHP. So now we going to start the service.

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

after start the Apache service, you may use a browser to test the service. You may just type http://ipaddressofthehost/ on web browser to test it. It will respond a success page with it works!

And now the LAMP is success installed.
