Setting up a LAMP server with Ubuntu

July 05, 2009 · Ubuntu · No Comments

Ubuntu, known for its ease of use, makes no exception for setting up an apache, mysql, and php stack. Since the release of Feisty Fawn, Ubuntu has come packed with tasksel – a user interface for installing tasks.

1. At your command prompt, run tasksel as root.

john@earth:~$ sudo tasksel

2. Select LAMP server

3. Continue the installation by following the prompts.

It works!

One tool I have difficulty living without is phpMyAdmin. From the command prompt type

sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

Continue the installation by following the prompts. If you are using a version of Ubuntu older than 9.04 (Jaunty) you will need to add the following line to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf Continue the installation by following the prompts. Version 9.04 does this automatically. You will be able to access phpMyAdmin by browsing directly to http:///phpmyadmin
