Installing the LAMP<\/abbr> environment on a Linux system is easy if you are comfortable with using the native package management software. If you on a Red Hat\/Fedora\/CentOS system, that will be yum – and for Debian\/Ubuntu systems, that will be apt. This tutorial shows you how to install Apache 2, PHP 5 and MySQL 5 in Debian using apt.<\/p>\n Before installation, a few points to remember. These instruction are not for a production environment – this is for a development environment. To install the software, you need root access. You can get that using this command…<\/p>\n Use this command to install Apache 2.<\/p>\n Make sure you specify ‘apache2’ – or else, apache 1.3 will be installed.<\/p>\n Now, install the PHP 5 packages…<\/p>\n No go to the folder Now your document root is I also had to make the following changes…<\/p>\n This was to fix a few errors I saw on my system – you may not have to do it.<\/p>\n This is the command to install MySQL server, its client and PHP’s MySQL libraries…<\/p>\n Finally, Install the other packages you need as well<\/p>\n Go to your document root( First, turn on the MySQL database server…<\/p>\n Then, start the Apache Web Server…<\/p>\n Now fire up a browser and go to localhost<\/a> – you should see a file listing page with a ‘info.php’ in the list. Click on that link – if you see a PHP information page, your web server is setup correctly.<\/p>\n To make sure MySQL-PHP connection is working, install phpMyAdmin<\/a> – or write a database connection script – whatever is easier for you.<\/p>\nsu -\n[Enter root password]<\/code><\/pre>\nInstalling Apache 2<\/h2>\n
