Follow the steps to install apache2, php5, mysql in ubuntu 10.04. For root user sudo is not required. For other distributions of debian/ubuntu some minor changes may be there. But the procedure is same.
I am user 'arun'. So change to your username at places where 'arun' is used. All my passwords are 'abcd' including 'root' user. References are there at the end of the page; R1, R2, etc...
Order is important. Refer the references for any errors.
- apache2:
- sudo apt-get install apache2
- open browser and goto http://localhost/ "It works!"
- php5, its apache module and php5-cli( this is to run php scripts from terminal )
- sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli
- vim /var/www/index.php and write <?php phpinfo(); ?>
- Must restart apache2 ( /etc/init.d/apache2 restart ). Then go to http://localhost/index.php
- MySQL server: ( Refer R2 for any error )
- sudo apt-get install mysql-server
- While installing mysql server it will ask for a 'root' password. For this tutorial I gave a common password for all the users (abcd).
- now the only user is root. For to create a user 'arun' first login to mysql as 'root' and then create a user 'arun' there.
- mysql -u root -p (give password)
- For any error like the one below refer R2.
- ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'arun'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
- mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('abcd');
- create a user arun
- mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'arun'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'abcd' WITH GRANT OPTION;
- mysql> \q (quits mysql)
- At terminal check the user $mysql -u arun -p (give password)
- install phpmyadmin (Refer R1 if facing any problem)
- sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
- check http://localhost/phpmyadmin. If 404 do the following.
- sudo vim /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
- at the end of the file add Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
- restart apache ( sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart )
- check http://localhost/phpmyadmin again login with username: arun, password: abcd.
