INSTALLING APACHE SERVER AND PHP IN UBUNTU

Hello friends I will be explaining how to install Apache server and Php in Ubuntu in simple way. We will be using the LAMP stack for the installation using the command line. You need not be worried it’s not as it seems and your development server should be working within minutes.

We will look into it in a step by step manner and also provide certain screen shots to help. The first requirement is a working version of Ubuntu Linux (and I assume u already have Ubuntu installed).Now we will go through the procedure.

1)      Open Terminal

2)      Type sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 phpmyadmin

3)      Accept all the prompt and type yes to continue

4)      Enter Password when prompted

5)      Go to http://localhost/ to see if Apache is working, If yes you will see a page saying “It works ” goto step 7

Or

If you see the page saying  

“waiting apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name,

 using  127.0.1.1 for Server Name” Goto Step 6

6)      Here you have to edit the httpd.conf file 

Type               sudo gedit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Then Add the following line to the file (which will be blank be default): 
ServerName localhost

7)      Then go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin in your browser. 

a) If you don't see phpMyAdmin's welcome page, 

run 

                  sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf/etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf

b) The next step is to reload Apache: type the following to do the same

                                             sudo service apache2 reload 

c) The phpMyAdmin's Welcome page will be visible now.

8)      Enjoy your fully working server!!
