INSTALL LAMP STACK ON AWS - UBUNTU 18

Step 1 — Installing Apache and Updating the Firewall

	sudo apt update
	sudo apt upgrade
	sudo apt install apache2

	sudo ufw app list

	sudo ufw app info "Apache Full"

	sudo ufw allow in "Apache Full"

APACHE INSTALLED SUCCESFULLY TILL HERE, YOU CAN CHECK BY ENTERING YOUR PUBLIC IP OR PUBLICK DNS ADDRESS - http://your_server_ip

==================================================

Step 2 — Installing MySQL

	sudo apt install mysql-server
	sudo mysql_secure_installation
	sudo mysql
	
	SELECT user,authentication_string,plugin,host FROM mysql.user;
	
	ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';    // please note here replace the "password" with yours.
	
	FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
	
	SELECT user,authentication_string,plugin,host FROM mysql.user;
	exit
	
At this point, your database system is now set up and you can move on to installing PHP, the final component of the LAMP stack.

=========================================================


Step 3 — Installing PHP

	sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql
	
In most cases, you will want to modify the way that Apache serves files when a directory is requested. Currently, if a user requests a directory from the server, Apache will first look for a file called index.html. We want to tell the web server to prefer PHP files over others, so make Apache look for an index.php file first.

	sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf
	
Move the PHP index file (highlighted above) to the first position after the DirectoryIndex specification, like this:

	<IfModule mod_dir.c>
	    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.cgi index.pl index.xhtml index.htm
	</IfModule>	

-----------------------------------

	sudo systemctl restart apache2
	sudo systemctl status apache2

	Press Q to exit this status output.
	
	Check PHP Version by entering 
	php -v

	Install the commonly required php modules by using the below commands - do remeber replace the php version number with your by checking the php -v command 
	For Example if the php -v command shows 7.4 version installed then you have to replace the 7.2 with 7.4 in the below command
	
	sudo apt install php7.2-common php7.2-mysql php7.2-xml php7.2-xmlrpc php7.2-curl php7.2-gd php7.2-imagick php7.2-cli php7.2-dev php7.2-imap php7.2-mbstring php7.2-opcache php7.2-soap php7.2-zip php7.2-intl -y
	
	sudo systemctl restart apache2
	
==================================================
	
Step 4 — Testing PHP Processing on your Web Server

	sudo nano /var/www/html/info.php
	
This will open a blank file. Add the following text, which is valid PHP code, inside the file:
	<?php
	phpinfo();
	?>

	
The address you will want to visit is:

	http://your_ip/info.php
	
You will get the php info page
