How to : Install PHP MySql Apache server in Ubuntu

February 7th, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

Since we all love to do things in a simple way, I introduce you LAMP Server. LAMP is Linux Apache MySql PHP server.

It’s useful if you want to set up a private web development environment. Perhaps you want to develop your own WordPress theme. If you are developing websites and experimenting, it’s nice to do it in the privacy of your own computer, rather than out on the public internet.



Install LAMP

The Ubuntu developers have created a very easy way to install a LAMP server on an existing system. It’s all kicked off with this one simple terminal command.

sudo apt-get install lamp-server^

Note: Please make note of the caret (^) in the above command, it’s not a typo, it’s required to make the command work.
