I assume you have installed Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop on your PC.
Apache
Install Apache
sudo apt-get install apache2
Testing HTTP Server by open a web browser and enter http://localhost
PHP
Install PHP5
sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5
Stop/Restart Apache
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Test the installation
sudo gedit /var/www/testphp.php
Insert this following line into testphp.php file.
Save this new file.
Open a web browser and enter http://localhost/testphp.php
Be sure to remove the file afterwards, as it may pose a security risk.
sudo rm /var/www/testphp.php
MySQL
Install MySQL Server
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
MySQL initially only allows connections from the localhost (127.0.0.1). We’ll need to remove that restriction if you wish to make it accessible to everyone on the internet. Open the file /etc/mysql/my.cnf
gksudo gedit /etc/mysql/my.cnf
Find the line bind-address = 127.0.0.1 and comment it out then save the file.
MySQL comes with no root password as default. This is a huge security risk. You’ll need to set one. So that the local computer gets root access as well, you’ll need to set a password for that too. The local-machine-name is the name of the computer you’re working on.
mysqladmin -u root password newpasswordmysqladmin -h root@local-machine-name -u root -p password newpasswordsudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
MySQL Administrator
Install MySQL Administrator
sudo apt-get install mysql-admin
Refresh Gnome Panel
killall gnome-panel
Run MySQL Administrator
Applications -> System Tools -> MySQL Administrator
MySQL for Apache HTTP Server
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql phpmyadmin
To get PHP to work with MySQL, open the php.ini file
gksudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
You’ll need to uncomment the “;extension=mysql.so” line so that it looks like this
extension=mysql.so
Restart Apache
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Well done and enjoy it.
