Install Apache/PHP/MySQL on Ubuntu 10.04

It's almost nine years since the first and also the last time I installed the Apache web server. The web services on the last server are a company calendar (schedule) and a namelist implemented by php3 and mysql.

First we have to install Apache server via

$ sudo apt-get install apache2

Open http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/ in a web browser to check if the web server is successfully installed.

Then, the php shall be installed.

$ sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql

We may try a simple test php program on /var/www/test.php

$ sudo vi /var/www/test.php

$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Check again !

Install mysql server. 

$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client phpmyadmin

Setup your own password during installation.

After installation, browse http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ and provide the username as root and your password as below.

When username and password are verified, you shall get below screen.
