it will explain you how you can install LAMP, that is apache2, PHP5, mysql and optionally phpMyAdmin.
I will do this in several steps:
1. Installing Apache2
2. Installing PHP5
3. Installing MySql
4. Setting up phpMyAdmin
So, here we go:
1. Installing Apache2
First you will need to open the terminal, you can do this by clicking on the application launcher icon (in the lower left corner) and then clicking on 'Terminal'. Now you should see a frame with the username, and the computer name.
Eg.
alexander@linux-akcg:~>
Now you can give commands to your computer.
To install programs, you need to have root access, so we're going to do a root login. Simply type the following command, and then press enter:
su root
Now this will appear:
alexander@linux-akcg:~>su root Password:
Simply type the root password that you entered at the installation, then press enter again.
Now something like this will show up:
linux-akcg:/home/alexander #
Now we're going to really install apache2, so just type
yast -i apache2and let the computer do it's work.
Now, you want to check if everything is installed correctly. Enter the following command:
rcapache2 status
If you get:
linux-akcg:/home/alexander # rcapache2 status Checking for httpd2: unusedthen you are good, if if you get something else, then another httpd2 client is already running.
If you have 'running' instead of 'unused', try the following command:
rcapache stop
then check the status again.
Now you want to check if it really works, so we need to go to the htdocs folder which is located in /srv/www.
Enter the following command:
cd /srv/www/htdocs
Then make a file using the VI editor (or another) named index.html with the following content:
<html> <head> </head> <body> <h1>You succesfully installed Apache2</h> </body> </html>
Save it.
Now the last step is to start apache, enter the following command:
rcapache2 start
You should get this:
linux-akcg:/home/alexander # rcapache2 start Starting httpd2 (prefork) done
Now, open your favorite browser and navigate to http://localhost.
If everything works there should be a text, 'You succesfullly installed Apache2'.
Congratulations, you made it through the first chapter!
Here are some commands you can use:
rcapache2 start //this will start your httpd2 rcapache2 stop //this will stop your httpd2 rcapache2 restart//this will restart your httpd2 rcapache2 status//this will give you the status of your httpd2 [size="4"][b][u] 2. Installing PHP5[/u][/b][/size] If you still have your terminal open, then fine. If not, log in with 'su root' again. To install PHP5, enter the following command: [code]yast -i php5 php5-mysql apache2-mod_php5
Now everything is installed, but to get results, you have to restart the server:
rcapache2 restart
That's it, but you want to test it out, don't you?
So we go to the htdocs folder again
cd /srv/www/htdocs
and we make a new file named index.php with the following content:
<html> <head> </head> <body> <?php echo "<h1>You succesfully installed PHP5!</h>" ?> </body> </html>
Save it and start your favorite browser again.
Navigate to http://localhost/index.php
If there is “You successfully installed PHP5!”, then everyting works.
3. Installing MySql
If you don't have root access in your terminal, enter
su rootagain.
To install mysql and mysql-tools, which is needed for the administration, enter the following command:
yast -i mysql mysql-tools
Start the server with:
rcmysql start
To set the root password, enter
mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD
If you want to change the password later:
mysqladmin -u root -p'oldpassword' password NEWPASSWORD
So for example, if my older password was root, and now I want it root123, I do the following:
mysqladmin -u root -p'root' password 'root123'
Now you can login into the server client, enter the following:
mysql -u root -p
Type
exitto go back to the terminal
4. Installing phpMyAdmin
