how to correctly install apache2, php5, mysql and phpmyadmin

  • 772

What is the most correct method of installing apache 2 server, php5, mysql and phpMyAdmin?

I installed it this week, and I had a lot problems without solutions, so now that I reinstalled Ubuntu 13.04 I don't want to make the same mistake again.

  2. Install Apache2

    sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install apache2

sudo apt-get install php mysql-server mysql-client php5-mysql libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php-mbstring php5-gd libapache2-mod-php5


sudo mysql_install_db

    Set password for mysql 

    sudo /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

    Then install the php 

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

sudo apt-get install php5-mysql php5-curl php5-gd php5-intl php-pear php5-imagick php5-imap php5-mcrypt php5-memcache php5-ming php5-ps php5-pspell php5-recode php5-snmp php5-sqlite php5-tidy php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl

    Then to check the PHP

    sudo vim /var/www/info.php

<?php
phpinfo();
?>


sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

    Install phpmyadmin

    apt-get install phpmyadmin

    While installation it will ask for some settings for choosing apache server or lighthttpd choosem apache

    Choose Apache

    Choose no for dbconfig-common

    Now Navigate to the Web Browser and openup the IP mentioned with /phpmyadmin/

    eg : http://192.168.122.69/phpmyadmin/

    Use Your Login what u used for mysql installation

    Login Information I always use for demo purpose is

    root and password is admin123

  4. I've developed some steps to install php 5.3 + Apache on Ubuntu 14.

    First, write the following repositories to the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-old.list

    deb http://55.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-security main universe
deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main universe

    run apt-get update and then 

    sudo apt-get install php5=5.3.10-1ubuntu3.19 php5-cli=5.3.10-1ubuntu3.19 php5-common=5.3.10-1ubuntu3.19 libapache2-mod-php5=5.3.10-1ubuntu3.19 apache2=2.2.22-1ubuntu1.9  apache2-mpm-prefork=2.2.22-1ubuntu1.9 apache2.2-common=2.2.22-1ubuntu1.9 apache2.2-bin=2.2.22-1ubuntu1.9 php5-pgsql=5.3.10-1ubuntu3.19 php5-xdebug=2.1.0-1

    I've tested each command, it worked fine!

    1. ALWAYS

      sudo apt-get update

    2. Basic:

      sudo apt-get install apache2 php5-common mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql

    3. Extras:

      sudo apt-get install php5-dev php5-gd
    4. Make sure you ALWAYS run mysql_secure_installation after you have installed MySQL

  6. On Ubuntu 13.10 I had an error installing phpmyadmin:

    Errors were encountered while processing:
 javascript-common

    When I loaded the page in my browser it came up as:

    error: json missing

    Found the answer here: https://superuser.com/questions/639945/how-to-fix-the-phpmyadmin-error-json-extension-is-missing.
