We won’t give out pretty much any comments/descriptions for this post because we want to keep it small 🙂
First, install a bunch of stuff:
sudo apt-get install apache2 sudo apt-get install mysql-server sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql
Later, restart your apache so that it loads all modules (php, etc)
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
and if you get the following error:
“Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName” resolve it by adding the line:
ServerName localhost
to the file /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and then try restarting again. (You need root access to edit, if you are not familiar with command line text editors line nano, try sudo gedit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf, gedit is usually available with all gnome installations).
After that, to install phpMyAdmin and make it available at http://localhost/phpmyadmin:
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www
(The default MySQL login username ‘root’ and the password is the one you entered during installation in the last step).
Happy developing, hope we helped 🙂
