LAMP Install

How to Install LAMP in Ubuntu

1. Install Apache

To install Apache you must install the Metapackage apache2. This can be done by searching for and installing in the Software Centre, or by running the following command.
sudo apt-get install apache2
2. Install MySQL
To install MySQL you must install the Metapackage mysql-server. This can be done by searching for and installing in the Software Centre, or by running the following command.
sudo apt-get install mysql-server


3. Install PHP
To install PHP you must install the Metapackages php5 and libapache2-mod-php5. This can be done by searching for and installing in the Software Centre, or by running the following command.
sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5
4. Restart Server
Your server should restart Apache automatically after the installation of both MySQL and PHP. If it doesn’t, execute this command.
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
5. Check Apache
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/. You should see a message saying It works!
6. Check PHP
You can check your PHP by executing any PHP file from within /var/www/. Alternatively you can execute the following command, which will make PHP run the code without the need for creating a file.
php -r 'echo "nnYour PHP installation is working fine.nnn";''
That’s all!! you have now successfully installed LAMP SERVER
If you follow the instructions and it does not work after the install, try this code below.
sudo apt-get remove apache2 apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils apache2.2-common libapache2-mod-php5 libapr1 libaprutil1 libdbd-mysql-perl libdbi-perl libnet-daemon-perl libplrpc-perl libpq5 mysql-client-5.5 mysql-common mysql-server mysql-server-5.5 php5-common php5-mysql

Then run the following code below..

sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
