Installing LAMP on CentOS and Ubuntu: Step-by-Step Guide Print

  • 225

LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP, which are all open-source software that can be used to create a dynamic web server. Here are the steps to install LAMP on your CentOS or Ubuntu server:


Installing LAMP on CentOS

First, update the package manager by running the following command:

sudo yum update

Next, install Apache by running the following command:

sudo yum install httpd

Start the Apache service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start httpd

Enable Apache to start on boot by running the following command:

sudo systemctl enable httpd

Install MySQL by running the following command:

sudo yum install mariadb-server mariadb

Start the MySQL service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start mariadb

Enable MySQL to start on boot by running the following command:

sudo systemctl enable mariadb

Run the MySQL secure installation script by running the following command:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Install PHP by running the following command:

sudo yum install php php-mysql

Restart Apache by running the following command:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Installing LAMP on Ubuntu

First, update the package manager by running the following command:

sudo apt-get update

Install Apache by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install apache2

Install MySQL by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

Run the MySQL secure installation script by running the following command:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Install PHP by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql

Restart Apache by running the following command:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

That's it! You should now have a LAMP stack installed on your CentOS or Ubuntu server. To test that everything is working correctly, create a file called "info.php" in the Apache root directory (usually /var/www/html) with the following content:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Then, open your web browser and navigate to "http://server-ip/info.php". You should see a page displaying information about your PHP installation.
