LAMP is an acronym that represents the Linux <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/operating-systems\">operating system<\/a>, where we install an Apache web server with support for site data stored in a MySQL database, and dynamic content processed by PHP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A LAMP stack is therefore a group of open-source software that is typically installed and working together in order to enable a server to host dynamic database-driven websites and <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/web\">web<\/a> apps written in <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/php\">PHP<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some components of the LAMP stack are interchangeable with other open-source software. For instance, <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/ubuntu\">Ubuntu<\/a> can be replaced with almost any other flavor of <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/linux\">Linux<\/a> such as <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/centos\">CentOS<\/a>, Redhat, Suse, Debian, Manjaro, and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The database component can work with MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and others as opposed to MySQL. The web server component can use the likes of Nginx instead of Apache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For brevity&#8217;s sake and for the purposes of having a complete tutorial, we will be sticking with Ubuntu 20.04, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. We will also be using the versions that come as the Linux server&#8217;s default package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prerequisites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This tutorial assumes that you have an Ubuntu 20.04 server with a non-root sudo-enabled user account and a basic firewall. The steps in this tutorial can also work for Ubuntu 18.04 and prior versions to some extent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Install Apache and Update the Firewall Configuration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Use Ubuntu&#8217;s package manager, apt to install Apache:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo apt update\n$ sudo apt install apache2<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Accept the installation prompts by pressing <strong>Y<\/strong>, then <strong>ENTER<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the installation is finished, you will need to adjust your firewall configuration to allow HTTP traffic in and out of the server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we are using the UFW firewall. This firewall comes with convenient application profiles that you can use to allow and block certain protocols and ports. To list all currently available UFW application profiles, you can run the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo ufw app list<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The output will look something similar to this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-\">Available applications:\n  Apache\n  Apache Full\n  Apache Secure\n  OpenSSH<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>We are interested in the <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/apache\">Apache<\/a> profiles. This is what each of the three Apache profiles means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Apache:<\/strong> This profile opens only port 80 for unencrypted web traffic.<\/li><li><strong>Apache Full:<\/strong> This profile opens both port 80 for unencrypted web traffic and port 443 for encrypted traffic via TLS\/SSL.<\/li><li><strong>Apache Secure:<\/strong> This profile opens only port 443 for encrypted traffic via TLS\/SSL.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We will only allow connections on port 80 since this is a fresh install and we have not yet configured an SSL certificate. This can be changed later after the SSL certificate has been installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To only allow traffic on port 80, use the following Apache profile:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo ufw allow in &quot;Apache&quot;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Verify the updated status using the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo ufw status<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">Status: active\n\nTo                         Action      From\n--                         ------      ----\nOpenSSH                    ALLOW       Anywhere                                \nApache                     ALLOW       Anywhere                  \nOpenSSH (v6)               ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)                    \nApache (v6)                ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)  <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Apache is now installed and ready to use. You can vary this by accessing your server&#8217;s public IP address in your web browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-\">http:\/\/your_server_ip<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This should give you the default Ubuntu 20.04 Apache web page. It should look something like the one below and seeing this page means that Apache2 is installed and running well:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"649\" height=\"627\" src=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/install-apache-default.jpg\" alt=\"install apache default page\" class=\"wp-image-8768\" srcset=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/install-apache-default.jpg 649w, http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/install-apache-default-282x272.jpg 282w, http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/install-apache-default-395x382.jpg 395w, http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/install-apache-default-176x170.jpg 176w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 649px) 100vw, 649px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the curl utility to contact <strong>icanhazip<\/strong> to tell you your server&#8217;s public IP address. Run the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ curl http:\/\/icanhazip.com<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2 \u2014 Install MySQL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we will need to install the database system to be able to store and manage data for your website. <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/mysql\">MySQL<\/a> the popular database management system is the natural choice to use within PHP environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will use apt to acquire and install this software. We do not need to update the apt index since we did it a few minutes ago in <strong>Step 1<\/strong>. Run the following command to get started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo apt install mysql-server<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Confirm installation by typing <strong>Y<\/strong>, and then <strong>ENTER<\/strong> at the prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After installation is finished you will need to run a security script that comes pre-installed with MySQL. This script removes some insecure default settings and locks down access to your MySQL <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/database\">database<\/a> server. You can run the interactive script by running:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo mysql_secure_installation<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You will be asked if you want to configure the <strong>VALIDATE PASSWORD PLUGIN<\/strong>. This plugin will enforce strong passwords. This can be left unconfigured but you will need to ensure you use a strong password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Answer <strong>Y<\/strong> for <strong>yes<\/strong>, or anything else to continue without enabling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-\">VALIDATE PASSWORD PLUGIN can be used to test passwords\nand improve security. It checks the strength of password\nand allows the users to set only those passwords which are\nsecure enough. Would you like to setup VALIDATE PASSWORD plugin?\n\nPress y|Y for Yes, any other key for No:<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If you answer &#8220;<strong>yes<\/strong>&#8220;, you\u2019ll be asked to select a level of password validation. The following is what you will expect to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-\">There are three levels of password validation policy:\n\nLOW    Length &gt;= 8\nMEDIUM Length &gt;= 8, numeric, mixed case, and special characters\nSTRONG Length &gt;= 8, numeric, mixed case, special characters and dictionary file\n\nPlease enter 0 = LOW, 1 = MEDIUM and 2 = STRONG: 1<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, whether you chose to set up the <strong>VALIDATE PASSWORD PLUGIN<\/strong>, your server will next ask you to select and confirm a password for the MySQL root user. Either way, you should define a strong password here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you enabled password validation, you will be shown the password strength for the root password you just entered. Your server will ask if you want to continue with the password. If you are happy with your current password, enter <strong>Y<\/strong> for &#8220;<strong>yes<\/strong>&#8221; at the prompt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-\">Estimated strength of the password: 100 \nDo you wish to continue with the password provided?(Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>For the rest of the questions, press <strong>Y<\/strong> and hit the <strong>ENTER<\/strong> key at each prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These other prompts will remove the anonymous user, the test database, disable remote root logins, then load these new rules so that MySQL immediately adopts the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now test your new password and installation by running the following to open the MySQL console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo mysql<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This connects to the MySQL server as the administrative database user root inferred by using sudo. This is the output you should see:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \\g.\nYour MySQL connection id is 22\nServer version: 8.0.19-0ubuntu5 (Ubuntu)\n\nCopyright (c) 2000, 2020, Oracle and\/or its affiliates.

Type &#039;\\c&#039; to clear the current input statement.\n\nmysql&gt; <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You can exit the MySQL console to continue with the setup by running the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-\">mysql&gt; exit<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: You didn&#8217;t need to provide a password to connect as the root user even though you set one via the <strong>mysql_secure_installation<\/strong> script. This is not a security leak as with Ubuntu and MySQL, the default authentication method for the administrative MySQL user is <strong>unix_socket<\/strong> instead of <strong>password<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ensures only system users with sudo privileges are allowed to log in as the root MySQL user. Setting a password for the root MySQL account works as a safeguard, in case the default authentication method is changed from <strong>unix_socket<\/strong> to <strong>password<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also because of this, you won&#8217;t be able to use the administrative database root user to connect from your PHP application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore for increased security, you will need to have dedicated user accounts with less expansive privileges set up for every database that will be used to access your MySQL server from your PHP applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/install-latest-phpmyadmin-ubuntu-20-04\/\">follow this phpMyAdmin tutorial here<\/a> to learn how you can create additional users for use in your PHP applications as well as use it as a web-based client to manage your databases and their internal objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Note: It may currently be that the native MySQL PHP library <strong>mysqlnd <\/strong>doesn&#8217;t support <strong>caching_sha2_authentication<\/strong> which is the default authentication method for MySQL 8. Therefore, when creating database users for PHP applications on MySQL 8, you will need to make sure they are configured to use <strong>mysql_native_password<\/strong> instead.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3 \u2013 Install PHP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that Apache and MySQL are installed, we are now ready to install PHP 7.4 packages which are available under the default repositories on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. In addition to the PHP package, you will need to install the <strong>php-mysql<\/strong> module which will allow PHP to communicate with MySQL-based databases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will also need <strong>libapache2-mod-php<\/strong> to enable Apache to handle PHP files properly. The core PHP packages will be installed as dependencies automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysq<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You can then run the following command to confirm your PHP version with the output below it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ php -v<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-\">PHP 7.4.3 (cli) (built: Mar 26 2020 20:24:23) ( NTS )\nCopyright (c) The PHP Group\nZend Engine v3.4.0, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies\n    with Zend OPcache v7.4.3, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You have now successfully completed the install Apache, MySQL, and PHP on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as a LAMP stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manage Services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You will need to manage the above services occasionally. These are a few commands to aid you in starting, stoping, and restarting the said components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To restart Apache and MySQL services, type:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo systemctl restart apache2\n$ sudo systemctl restart mysql<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>To start Apache and MySQL services, type:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\"> sudo systemctl start apache2\n$ sudo systemctl start mysql<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>To stop Apache and MySQL services, type:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo systemctl stop apache2\n$ sudo systemctl stop mysql<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Test PHP Processing on your Web Server<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we will create a PHP test script to confirm that Apache is able to handle and process requests for PHP files. Earlier we had tested the server with the default index.html file but this time we will need to do the same with the PHP file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Create a new file named info.php inside your document root folder. The location of the document folder can be gotten from the default Apache web page. Visit that page using your web browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-\">http:\/\/your_server_ip<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>http:&#047;&#047;your_server_ip<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Document Root section, you will find the default Ubuntu document root path which is usually <strong>\/var\/www\/html<\/strong>. We will save our file there using the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo nano \/var\/www\/html\/info.php<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This will open a blank file. Add the following PHP code, inside the file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-php\">&lt;?php\nphpinfo();<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are finished, save and close the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to your web browser and enter the following URL:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-\">http:\/\/your_server_ip\/info.php<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This page provides information about your server as PHP sees it. If you can see this page in your browser, then your PHP installation is working as expected. Use this page for debugging, confirming modules, and other server configurations when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, it&#8217;s advisable to remove the file as it reveals sensitive information about your PHP environment and your Ubuntu server. You can always recreate this page if you need to access the information again later. Use rm to delete the file right now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo rm \/var\/www\/html\/info.php<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have reached this point, it means that you have successfully set up a base LAMP stack that is ready to serve websites and PHP applications. This is by no means a comprehensive tutorial that guides beyond the basics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we have not addressed how to install Apache virtual hosts, how to connect to a MySQL database using PHP, or how to install an SSL certificate to encrypt your server requests and responses, or <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/configure-mod-security\/\">how to harden your server against cyber attacks<\/a> as well as <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/mod_evasive-security-setup\/\">DDOS attacks<\/a> and more.
