After a while of not writing on my blog, I’m ready to start writing again. Probably you noticed that I changed my theme. Yes, I was busy redesigning my theme from the start. Anyway, I will tell you the story in the next article.
Now I want to show you how to install Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10 as a perfect server with Apache, PHP, MySQL and phpMyAdmin. Since Ubuntu has great repositories and the magic application called apt-get, it shouldn’t be hard to make Ubuntu a perfect server.
Okay let’s begin, please make sure your Ubuntu is connected to the internet:
1. Open your terminal and log in as root with this command:
su2. Update your repositories list:
apt-get update3. Install Apache:
apt-get install apache2 apache2.2-common apache2-doc apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils4. Install PHP:
apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-common php5-gd php5-mysql php5-imap php5-cli php5-cgi php-pear php-auth5. Install MySQL:
apt-get install mysql-server mysql-clientHere you will be asked to input the root password for MySQL.
6. Install phpMyAdmin:
apt-get install phpmyadminHere you will be asked some questions to configure phpMyAdmin — just go through the wizard after it finishes installing.
7. Now your server is ready. Before you test please make sure to restart the server:
/etc/init.d/mysql restart
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart8. Open the document root in /var/www, make a file called info.php and fill it with this:
<?php phpinfo(); ?> Then save the file.
9. Test the server with the browser and type the address http://[server-ip]/info.php
That’s it for now. Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you enjoy. Have a nice day…
