Installing Apache2 + PHP5 + MySQL (On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)

LAMP on Ubuntu

1. Installing MySQL
apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client

You will be asked to provide a password for the MySQL root user - this password is valid for the user root@localhost as well as root@server1.example.com, so we don't have to specify a MySQL root password manually later on.


2. Installing Apache2
apt-get install apache2

Now direct your browser to http://ServerIP, and you should see the Apache2 placeholder page (It works!):



3. Installing PHP5
apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql 
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart


4. Testing PHP5 / Getting Details About Your PHP5 Installation

The document root of the default web site is /var/www. We will now create a small PHP file (info.php) in that directory and call it in a browser. The file will display lots of useful details about our PHP installation, such as the installed PHP version.

vi /var/www/info.php

<?php
  phpinfo();
?>

Now we call that file in a browser (e.g. http://ServerIP/info.php):

Nameserver

The resolv.conf file is the resolver configuration file. It is use to configure client side access to the Internet Domain Name System (DNS). This file defines which name servers to use.

The resolver is a set of routines in the C library that provide access to the Internet Domain Name System (DNS). The resolver configuration file contains information that is read by the resolver routines the first time they are invoked by a process. The file is designed to be human readable and contains a list of keywords with values that provide various types of resolver information

Note: File name is /etc/resolv.conf and not /etc/resolve.conf.

Sample resolv.conf file

nameserver 202.54.1.10
nameserver 202.54.1.11

Setting Up Clients To Use a Proxy

http_proxy
ftp_proxy
gopher_proxy
wais_proxy


export http_proxy="http://your.proxy.server:8080/"; //export http_proxy
eg: export http_proxy=http://cache.mrt.ac.lk:3128

export ftp_proxy="http://your.proxy.server:8080/"; //export ftp_proxy
eg: export ftp_proxy=http://cache.mrt.ac.lk:3128

export gopher_proxy="http://your.proxy.server:8080/"; //export gopher_proxy
eg: export gopher_proxy=http://cache.mrt.ac.lk:3128

export wais_proxy="http://your.proxy.server:8080/"; //export wais_proxy
eg: export wais_proxy=http://cache.mrt.ac.lk:3128



No proxy

Some clients support the no_proxy environment variable that specifies a set of domains for which the proxy should not be consulted; the contents is a comma-separated list of domain names, with an optional :port part:

export no_proxy="cern.ch,ncsa.uiuc.edu,some.host:8080"
