Install Apache
| sudo apt-get update |
| sudo apt-get install apache2 |
Install MySQL
| sudo apt-get install mysql-server php5-mysql |
Follow the prompts to complete the installation of MySQL.
If the installation fails due to an error like this:
| /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.5.postinst: line 144: logger: command not found |
You should run the following command:
| apt-get --reinstall install bsdutils |
Create the database directory structure
| sudo mysql_install_db |
Secure MySQL
| sudo mysql_secure_installation |
Install PHP
| sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mcrypt |
Force Apache to look for index.php before index.html
Open dir.conf:
| sudo nano /etc/apache32/mods-enabled/dir.conf |
Make the dir.conf file look like this, by moving index.php to the front of the list to match the following:
| <IfModule mod_dir.c> |
| DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.cgi index.pl index.xhtml index.htm |
| </IfModule> |
Now save and close the file.
Restart Apache
| sudo service apache2 restart |
