PhpMyAdmin is a free and open-source organization that manages MySQL and MariaDB databases. In this article, we will explain a fresh Install LAMP Stack with PhpMyAdmin in Ubuntu.
Follow the below Steps to Install LAMP Stack with PhpMyAdmin in Ubuntu:
To install LAMP Stack, the Ubuntu 18.04 server should be installed. It also requires access to the server via SSH and requires root user privileges or sudo commands to execute all the commands.
Install Apache Web Server:
To update the software packages first, use ‘sudo apt update‘ command.
itsmarttricks@mangesh:~$ sudo apt update [sudo] password for itsmarttricks: Ign:1 http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable InRelease Hit:2 http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable Release Hit:3 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic InRelease Get:4 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security InRelease [83.2 kB] Hit:5 http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu bionic InRelease Get:7 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates InRelease [88.7 kB] Get:8 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security/main amd64 DEP-11 Metada
Now use the following command to install Apache Web Server.
itsmarttricks@mangesh:~$ sudo apt install apache2 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Suggested packages: apache2-doc apache2-suexec-pristine | apache2-suexec-custom The following NEW packages will be installed: apache2 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 37 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B/95.1 kB of archives. After this operation, 532 kB of additional disk space will be used. Selecting previously unselected package apache2. (Reading database ... 127171 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack .../apache2_2.4.29-1ubuntu4.2_amd64.deb ... Unpacking apache2 (2.4.29-1ubuntu4.2) ... Processing triggers for ufw (0.35-5) ... Setting up apache2 (2.4.29-1ubuntu4.2) ...
The Apache service will automatically start after the installation of the Apache Web server. Enter the following command to check the Apache Web Server running status.
itsmarttricks@mangesh:~$ sudo systemctl status apache2
