This is a quick note about how to install LAMP and phpMyAdmin on Ubuntu 10.04.
In terminal,
sudo tasksel install lamp-server
Then follow the installation. It will ask you to enter mysql password.
Then install phpmyadmin
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
It will also ask you passwords.
Then open apache2.conf to edit.
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Add the following at the end.
# Include phpmyadmin
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
Then restart apache.
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Then visit http://localhost/ and http://localhost/phpmyadmin to see them.
Adding mod_rewrite to apache
You may need mod_rewrite to be loaded on apache if you are using .htaccess file in your web development.
Then on your terminal,
cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
sudo touch rewrite.load
sudo gedit rewrite.load
sudo touch rewrite.load
sudo gedit rewrite.load
Then copy and paste the following and save it.
LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so
Then on your terminal,
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
Then find and change the following line,
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
to
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
allow from all
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
allow from all
And restart apache by this.
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
