The most popular use of linux servers: LAMP! It stands for Linux Apache MySQL PHP and is a very stable and well known configuration of a web server. Let’s install it then!
Install required packages:
aptitude install mysql-server mysql-client apache2 php5 php5-cli php5-curl php5-gd php5-imap php5-mcrypt php5-mhash php5-mysql libmysqlclient-dev phpmyadmin libapache2-mod-auth-mysql
The annoying PHP configuration bug in ubuntu. Edit /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf and ensure that it has exactly the following contents:
<IfModule mod_php5.c> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps </IfModule>
I normally enable all modules that I will use in this tutorial. You might want to do the same:
a2enmod alias a2enmod auth_basic a2enmod auth_mysql a2enmod authn_file a2enmod authz_default a2enmod authz_groupfile a2enmod authz_host a2enmod authz_user a2enmod autoindex a2enmod cgi a2enmod dir a2enmod env a2enmod mime a2enmod negotiation a2enmod php5 a2enmod proxy a2enmod proxy_http a2enmod rewrite a2enmod setenvif a2enmod status a2enmod suexec
Now edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and replace the contents with this (it will configure our default site that we will use later for monitoring and dspam websites):
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/example.com-error.log
LogLevel warn
# can change to debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, alert, emerg
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/example.com-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
And let’s create the web root and open the firewall:
mkdir /var/www/example.com iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT iptables-save > /etc/iptables-rules
