Install Apache2, MySQL5, PHP5 and PHPMyAdmin on Ubuntu

This
is a collection of guide how to install Apache Httpd Web Server
complete with latest PHP (as Apache mod), MySQL for Ubuntu. As a bonus,
I even through in an additional guide to install PHPMyAdmin. Please do
note that most of this guide can be found elsewhere which is listed at
the bottom of the guide.



Getting Started

I’m sure everyone here is familiar on how to use Terminal which is available from:

Applications > Accessories > Terminal
Install Apache Httpd Web Server

To install Apache, type the following command into your Terminal:

> sudo apt-get install apache2
Testing Apache

Paste the following command into your Terminal

> sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
Then open de>http://localhost/de> or de>http://127.0.0.1de> from your web browser. At first run, you would probably see a directory listing or a HTML page with a text saying “It’s Work“.
It works!

This is the default web page for this server.

The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.


To browse the file please navigate to the following folder

> cd /var/www/
Install PHP

Similar to Apache, all you need to do is type the following command in your Terminal:

> sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5
After the installation is complete, do restart your Apache Http Web Server.

> sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
This allow PHP to be include as Apache mod.

Testing PHP

A simple way to test your PHP is via phpinfo() function which
display all related configuration of your PHP. To do so type the
following command in your Terminal.

> sudo gedit /var/www/phpinfo.php
This will open gEdit text editor which you will type in

•   
  

Open http://localhost/phpinfo.php in your web browser and you will get something like this:  
PHP Version 5.2.10-2ubuntu6.3

System	Linux ubuntu 2.6.31-16-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 8 04:01:29 UTC 2009 i686
Build Date	Nov 26 2009 14:16:37
Server API	Apache 2.0 Handler
Virtual Directory Support	disabled

You should see all of the info about your PHP installation listed on the page.

Install MySQL

Again, type the following command in your Terminal

> sudo apt-get install mysql-server
Note: As MySQL is installing, it will ask you to
configure your root password. Make sure that you type it correctly, as
it will only ask you once.

You might need to manually start MySQL  for the first time, do so by typing this command in your Terminal.

> sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
Testing MySQL

After that is finished, you can test MySQL by running this, where 123 is your password

> mysql -uroot -p123
mysql> show databases;
mysql> quit
Install PHPMyAdmin

As usual, run the following command in terminal

> sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
This process is quite, as slow as MySQL installation and there are
time you need to provide some information in order to complete the
process but it quite optional. Once finish you need to create a soft
link in de>/var/www/de> to de>/usr/share/phpmyadminde> using these command.

> sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/phpmyadmin
Now open up de>http://localhost/phpmyadmin de>your web browser.
