Through this tutorial, you'll learn how to Install Apache, MySQL and PHP.

If you're a wepage designer or de!eloper and use PHP, "ySQL and Apache, you'll e needing these
applications to e installed. #hen I istalled Mint, I was loo$ing for a way to install LAMP and found a
tutorial on a wesite y so"eody na"ed %&argoship%. That tutorial was for uuntu. 'ut I installed it
on "y Linu( "int, and it is wor$ing.


In this guide I will show you how to install a LAMP syste". LAMP stands
for Linu(, Apache, MySQL, PHP. The guide is intended to help those who ha!e !ery little $nowlegde
of using Linu(.

#e will not co!er how to install Linu( the L of LAMP, ecause Linu( Mint is already installed in your
co"puter.

Install Apache
To start off we will install Apache.
). *pen up the Ter"inal +Applications > Accessories > Terminal,.
-. &opy.Paste or type the following line of code into Ter"inal and then press enter/
sudo apt-get install apache2
0. The Ter"inal will then as$ you for you're password, type it and then press enter.

Testing Apache
To "a$e sure e!erything installed correctly we will now test Apache to ensure it is wor$ing properly.
). *pen up any we rowser and then enter the following into the we address/
http://localhost/
1ou should see a folder entitled apache2-default/. *pen it and you will see a "essage saying %It
wor$s2% , congrats to you2 or so"ething li$e that2

Install PHP
In this part we will install PHP 3.
Step ). Again open up the Ter"inal +Applications > Accessories > Terminal,.
Step -. &opy.Paste or type the following line into Ter"inal and press enter/
sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5
Step 0. In order for PHP to wor$ and e co"patile with Apache we "ust restart Apache. Type the
following code in Ter"inal to do this/
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Test PHP
To ensure there are no issues with PHP let's gi!e it a 4uic$ test run.
Step ). In the ter"inal copy.paste or type the following line/
sudo gedit /var/www/testphp.php
This will open up a file called testphp.php.

Step -. &opy.Paste this line into the phptest file/

<php phpinfo!"# >
Step 0. Sa!e and close the file.
Step 5. 6ow open you're we rowser and type the following into the we address/
http://localhost/testphp.php

+It will show you the page that has all infor"ation aout your php. If you ha!e prior e(perience of
installing php in so"e other *S, you "ust ha!e seen this page.,
&ongrats you ha!e now installed oth Apache and PHP2

Install MySQL
To finish this guide up we will install MySQL.
Step ). *nce again open up the a"a7ing Ter"inal and then copy.paste or type this line/
sudo apt-get install m$s%l-server
Step - +optional,. In order for other co"puters on your networ$ to !iew the ser!er you ha!e created,
you "ust first edit the %'ind Address%. 'egin y opening up Ter"inal to edit the m$.cnf file.
g&sudo gedit /etc/m$s%l/m$.cnf
&hange the line
bind-address ' (2).*.*.(
And change the (2).*.*.( to your IP address.
+In Linu( Mint )), ter"inal itself as$ed to the set password, 'ut if it doesn't follow the step 0.,
Step 0. This is where things "ay start to get tric$y. 'egin y typing the following into Ter"inal/
m$s%l -u root
8ollowing that copy.paste or type this line/
m$s%l> +,T -A++./01 2/0 3root343localhost3 ' -A++./01!3$ourpassword3"#
+Ma$e sure to change $ourpassword to a password of your choice.,
Step 5. #e are now going to install a progra" called phpMyAd"in which is an easy tool to edit your
dataases. &opy.paste or type the following line into Ter"inal/
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-m$s%l php5-m$s%l phpm$admin
After that is installed our ne(t tas$ is to get PHP to wor$ with MySQL. To do this we will need to open
a file entitled php.ini. To open it type the following/
g&sudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
6ow we are going to ha!e to unco""ent the following line y ta$ing out the se"icolon +#,.
&hange this line/
#e5tension'm$s%l.so
To loo$ li$e this/
e5tension'm$s%l.so
6ow 9ust restart Apache and you are all set2
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

If you get a 5:5 error upon !isiting http/..localhost.php"yad"in/ 1ou will need to configure
apache-.conf to wor$ with Php"yad"in.
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Include the following line at the otto" of the file, sa!e and 4uit.
6nclude /etc/phpm$admin/apache.conf

Then 9ust restart Apache
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart




6ow "a$e wonderful wesite and ha!e fun2
Ter"inal scares the newies, ut here, you'll see how "agical ter"inal or co"and pro"t +whate!er you
call it, is.
And as Linu( is !ery secure *S, it'll as$ you the password again and again, on e!ery ad"inistrati!e
co""and. 1ou'll ha!e to type in your password "any ti"es, whene!er ter"inal as$s for it.

Aearlgray,
&hec$ the per"issions of the files in .etc.apache- using %ls >l% fro"
a ter"inal window +of course, you ha!e to e BinsideB the directory
for that to help you2 />, ,
If the %httpd.conf% file's per"issions are different, "a$e the" the
sa"e and then try again.
Another note that I disco!ered while trying to install #ordPress,
+and this "ay e the sa"e for other installed apps in your we
ser!er's %www% directory,.
BB1ou "ust change the user and group of all these files to e the
default %apache-% user, or you will get strange and i7arre errors

The way you do this is/
8irst/ =o to your .etc.apache- directory and there should e an
apache-.conf file there.
+6ote that I do BB6*TBB ha!e "y o( up or open right now, so I a"

%chown >; www<data/www<data ..B%
The %>;% tells chown +change owner, to recursi!ely go into e!ery

The %www<data/www<data% tells chown to change the user/group to
www<data, or whate!er your apache default user is, though "y
"oney's on it eing so"ething li$e %www<data%
The %..B% part tells chown to start Bin the current directoryB, and

PS I since learned that 'gedit' wasn't installed so installed it and
followed the instructions as written, specifically typed %sudo gedit
.etc.apache-.httpd.conf% into Ter"inal, and that opened a lan$ file
called %httpd.conf% into which I typed %Ser!er6a"e "yser!erna"e%,
sa!ed and closed the file. Then re>started apache- ... sa"e ugly
"essage.

This was a !ery helpful set of notes, including the recent co""ents
A9harris)@@0 which I also read through first efore eginning the
install.
I did not ha!e any "a9or prole"s with installing the following
stac$.
Linu( Mint )?
Apache -.5.?
MySQL 3.3
PHP 3.3.0>)uuntu-.0
Here are a few notes, so"e reiterating what other co""enters ha!e
already said ut still current as of the ao!e !ersions.
I'" !ery new to Linu(, so I'd appreciate others correcting "y
"isunderstandings of how things wor$ under the hood.
>>>>>
+a, Inaling the PHP e(tension "ys4l.so
Installing MySQL 3.3 appears to ta$e care of this through the B.ini
files found in .etc.php3.apache-.conf.d so that there's no need to
hand edit the php.ini file to acti!ate this e(tension as well as others.
>>>>>
+, liapache->"od>auth>"ys4l %is not a!ailale ...%
#hile installing phpMyAd"in using the co""and,
J apt>get install liapache->"od>auth>"ys4l php3>"ys4l
php"yad"in
got the error "sg that liapache->"od>auth>"ys4l %is not
a!ailale ...% etc etc.
So I installed without it. So far the stac$ see"s to e wor$ing fine
without that pac$age.
>>>>>
+c, 'rowsing to the url http/..localhost.php"yad"in
Installing phpMyAd"in apparently created the file
.etc.apache-.conf>enaled.php"yad"in.conf

which aliases the url to .usr.share.php"yad"in
>>>>>
+d, Setting the MySQL root password.
Kuring the install of MySQL, a $eyoard>ased dialog o( popped
up in the ter"inal window to pro"pt for a password for the root
user. So there's no need at all to set the password after the install y
using the "ys4l co""and line utility.
>>>>>
A !ery nicely written tutorial with so"e good details and
e(planations.

8irst, I owe you, igti"e2 I'!e een trying to ring up a LAMP
ser!er on Mint>)0 +Mate, ?5 it, for aout two days or so, and was
getting nothing ut grief. Then I found your tutorial and I
acco"plished "ore in two hours than I had in the pre!ious two
days22
A couple of additional notes that you "ight want to include/
). I did the steps in ths tutorial Before perfor"ing A61 updatesB on
"y syste" after a fresh install, since I noticed that the update
"a"ager wanted to update Apache- > and I didn't $now if that
would help or hinder. Maye it does not "atter, "aye it does, I
don't $now. #hat I BK*B $now is that it wor$ed when I did it this
way.
-. After installing Apache-, it's a !irtual certenty that you will get a
%&ould not relialy deter"ine the ser!er's fully 4ualified do"ain
na"e, using )-H.:.:.) for Ser!er6a"e% error.
The fi( is easy, 9ust %sudo gedit .etc.apache-.httpd.conf%, and add
the one line %Ser!er6a"e +whate!er your hostna"e is,%. Kon't
include the 4uotes, +Koh2,, and replace %+whate!er your hostna"e
is,% with the na"e you ga!e to your co"puter when you set it up. If
you don't re"e"er, 9ust type %hostna"e% in a ter"inal window, and
it will tell you.
;estart Apache- and this annoying warning goes away.
0. In "y case, +Mint )0, Mate,, there was no need to edit the
.etc.php3.apache-.php.ini file. The co""ented line was not there,
and apparently was not needed, since phpAd"in wor$s anyway.
5. #hen you go to install phpMyAd"in, it will as$ you to create a
dataase for phpMyAd"in to play with, and I selected %1es%. It as$s

for the password for the %ad"inistrati!e user% > and it sounds li$e it
wants to create another password for yet another user. #hat it
BreallyB wants is the password you created for the root user when
you installed MySQL. If you get this wrong, you get a really scary
warning. If you get that warning, 9ust allow it to %retry%, and
carefully type in the root password you created efore.
3. I did not ha!e to do anything to configure Apache- to wor$ with
phpMyAd"in. It wor$ed wonderfully right out of the o(.
?. I noticed that phpMyAd"in Bdoes not re4uire any credentialsB to
access the MySQL dataases2 Maye that's a result of the dataase I
created efore, I don't $now. It BISB scary2
In any e!ent, I feel li$e I should send you a case of the finest

grief2

I install the latest !ersion of #ordpress right in the folder
.!ar.www..
I can then uild the site and test !arious code changes and plugins

Than$s for this tutorial as it's a great start ut it needs a few
additions.
1eah, Test PHP instructions are still, or perhaps again screwy.
sudo gedit .!ar.www.testphp.php opens up a file called testphp.php,
not phptest.php as you ha!e written. And the file needs to contain
this/
]Dphp phpinfo+,Q DU
not this/
]2>>Dphp phpinfo+,Q D>>U
And for those loo$ing for Qe(tensionN"ys4l.so in php.ini
search for this without the Q as it is spaced well apart fro" the rest
and you'll e ale to find and unco""ent it. +#hich is what
re"o!ing the se"icolon does.,
