Installing Apache MySql Server and Apache on Ubuntu

Ubuntu gives beautiful functionality of installing Apapche http web server, MySql Server and PHP. It is sudo apt-get install.

To start before installation just update OSes package index.

$ sudo apt-get update


I was trying to install apache and it works fine. Here is what I did.

$ sudo apt-get install apache2

Any one have ever seen which lang Apache Web Server is written?
It is C. It made me worried because it does not have garbage collection.
Might not work if too much load is generated and resources are getting free is required.

Anyway lets get back to installation. To check Apache has been install properly to to web browser and go to http://localhost/
The text itself is self explanatory.

Now to install php :

$ sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5

As libapache2 has been installed to take affect restart Apache.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/restart

OK. So now php is up and running. How?

$ sudo gedit /var/www/phpinfo.php

Type in

It you see page which is not showing any error, PHP works. NICE !!

Now its time for installing MySql :
$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client

This should finish the install. Remember the passwords you are installing here.

Now its time to check whether login and MySql is working fine.

$ mysql -u root -p

Here root is the user created. MySql service will ask for the password after pressing enter. And then you will see

> mysql
> exit

Now some more installation for PHP
$ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql phpmyadmin

Now this installation may or may not ask you to select Yes No type pop up box.
I got some but in this changing world if you don't get them, don't worry just move on.

If you do get such Yes No Pop ups then select by reading the text.

Next thing to do is to restart Apache2.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/restart

This is good enough for right now. If you run into any issue just Google it.

Have great day / night ahead.
