Introduction
A "LAMP" stack is a group of open source software that is tpicall installed together to
enable a server to host dnamic websites and web apps. This term is actuall an
acronm which represents the Linux operating sstem, with the Apache web server.
The site data is stored in a MQL database, and dnamic content is processed b
PHP.
In this guide, we'll get a LAMP stack installed on an Ubuntu 16.04 Droplet. Ubuntu will

fulfill our first requirement: a Linux operating sstem.
Prerequisites
Before ou begin with this guide, ou should have a separate, non-root user account
with sudo privileges set up on our server. You can learn how to do this b completing
steps 1-4 in the initial server setup for Ubuntu 16.04.
tep 1: Install Apache and Allow in Firewall

The Apache web server is among the most popular web servers in the world. It's
well-documented, and has been in wide use for much of the histor of the web, which
makes it a great default choice for hosting a website.
We can install Apache easil using Ubuntu's package manager, apt . A package
manager allows us to install most software pain-free from a repositor maintained b
Ubuntu. You can learn more about how to use apt here.
For our purposes, we can get started b tping these commands:
$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get install apache2
ince we are using a sudo command, these operations get executed with root
privileges. It will ask ou for our regular user's password to verif our intentions.
Once ou've entered our password, apt will tell ou which packages it plans to
install and how much extra disk space the'll take up. Press Y and hit Enter to continue,

Next, we will add a single line to the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file to suppress a
warning message. While harmless, if ou do not set ServerName globall, ou will
S C R O L L TO TO P
receive the following warning when checking our Apache configuration for sntax

errors:
$ sudo apache2ctl configtest
Output
AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified doma
Syntax OK
Open up the main configuration file with our text edit:
$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Inside, at the bottom of the file, add a ServerName directive, pointing to our primar
domain name. If ou do not have a domain name associated with our server, ou can
use our server's public IP address:
Note
If ou don't know our server's IP address, skip down to the section on how to find our
server's public IP address to find it.

ince we added the global ServerName directive, all ou should see is:
Output
Syntax OK
Restart Apache to implement our changes:
$ sudo systemctl restart apache2
You can now begin adjusting the firewall.
Adjust the Firewall to Allow Web Traffic

Next, assuming that ou have followed the initial server setup instructions to enable
the UFW firewall, make sure that our firewall allows HTTP and HTTP traffic. You can
make sure that UFW has an application profile for Apache like so:
$ sudo ufw app list

Description: Apache v2 is the next generation of the omnipresent Apache web

Allow incoming traffic for this profile:
$ sudo ufw allow in "Apache Full"
You can do a spot check right awa to verif that everthing went as planned b
visiting our server's public IP address in our web browser (see the note under the
next heading to find out what our public IP address is if ou do not have this
information alread):
http://your_server_IP_address
You will see the default Ubuntu 16.04 Apache web page, which is there for
informational and testing purposes. It should look something like this:

How To Find our erver's Public IP Address

If ou do not know what our server's public IP address is, there are a number of was
ou can find it. Usuall, this is the address ou use to connect to our server through
H.
FromSign up for our line,

the command newsletter.
ou can find this a few was. First, ou can use the iproute2 ×

tping this:and open source topics.
ign Up
$ ip addr show eth0 | grep inet | awk '{ print $2; }' | sed 's/\/.*$//'
S C R O L L TO TO P
This will give ou two or three lines back. The are all correct addresses, but our

computer ma onl be able to use one of them, so feel free to tr each one.
An alternative method is to use the curl utilit to contact an outside part to tell ou
how it sees our server. You can do this b asking a specific server what our IP
address is:
$ sudo apt-get install curl

$ curl http://icanhazip.com
Regardless of the method ou use to get our IP address, ou can tpe it into our web
browser's address bar to get to our server.
tep 2: Install MQL

Now that we have our web server up and running, it is time to install MQL. MQL is
a database management sstem. Basicall, it will organize and provide access to
databases where our site can store information.
Again, we can use apt to acquire and install our software. This time, we'll also install
some other "helper" packages that will assist us in getting our components to
communicate with each other:
$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server
Note: In this case, ou do not have to run sudo apt-get update prior to the
command. This is because we recentl ran it in the commands above to install Apache.
The package index on our computer should alread be up-to-date.
Again, ou will be shown a list of the packages that will be installed, along with the
amount of disk space the'll take up. Enter Y to continue. ign Up
During the installation, our server will ask ou to select and confirm a password for the
MQL "root" user. This is an administrative account in MQL that hasS Cincreased
R O L L TO TO P

privileges. Think of it as being similar to the root account for the server itself (the one
ou are configuring now is a MQL-specific account, however). Make sure this is a
strong, unique password, and do not leave it blank.
When the installation is complete, we want to run a simple securit script that will
remove some dangerous defaults and lock down access to our database sstem a little
bit. tart the interactive script b running:
$ sudo mysql_secure_installation
You will be asked to enter the password ou set for the MQL root account. Next, ou
will be asked if ou want to configure the VALIDATE PASSWORD PLUGIN .
Warning: Enabling this feature is something of a judgment call. If enabled, passwords

which don't match the specified criteria will be rejected b MQL with an error. This
will cause issues if ou use a weak password in conjunction with software which
automaticall configures MQL user credentials, such as the Ubuntu packages for
phpMAdmin. It is safe to leave validation disabled, but ou should alwas use strong,
unique passwords for database credentials.
Answer  for es, or anthing else to continue without enabling.
VALIDATE PASSWORD PLUGIN can be used to test passwords

and improve security. It checks the strength of password
and allows the users to set only those passwords which are
secure enough. Would you like to setup VALIDATE PASSWORD plugin?
Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No:

You'll be asked to select a level of password validation. Keep in mind that if ou enter
ign Up
2, for the strongest level, ou will receive errors when attempting to set an password
which does not contain numbers, upper and lowercase letters, and special characters,
or which is based on common dictionar words. S C R O L L TO TO P

There are three levels of password validation policy:
LOW Length >= 8

MEDIUM Length >= 8, numeric, mixed case, and special characters
STRONG Length >= 8, numeric, mixed case, special characters and dictionary
Please enter 0 = LOW, 1 = MEDIUM and 2 = STRONG: 1
If ou enabled password validation, ou'll be shown a password strength for the
existing root password, and asked ou if ou want to change that password. If ou are
happ with our current password, enter n for "no" at the prompt:
Using existing password for root.
Estimated strength of the password: 100

Change the password for root ? ((Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) :
For the rest of the questions, ou should press Y and hit the Enter ke at each prompt.
This will remove some anonmous users and the test database, disable remote root
logins, and load these new rules so that MQL immediatel respects the changes we
have made.
At this point, our database sstem is now set up and we can move on.
tep 3: Install PHP

PHP is the component of our setup that will process code to displa dnamic content. It
can run scripts, connect to our MQL databases to get information, and hand the

to our web server to displa. ×
We can once again leverage the apt sstem to install our components. We're going to
include some helper packages as well, so that PHP code can runign Upthe Apache

server and talk to our MQL database:
S C R O L L TO TO P
$ sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mcrypt php-mysql

This should install PHP without an problems. We'll test this in a moment.
In most cases, we'll want to modif the wa that Apache serves files when a director is
requested. Currentl, if a user requests a director from the server, Apache will first
look for a file called index.html . We want to tell our web server to prefer PHP files,
so we'll make Apache look for an index.php file first.
To do this, tpe this command to open the dir.conf file in a text editor with root
privileges:
$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf
It will look like this:
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml index.htm
</IfModule>
We want to move the PHP index file highlighted above to the first position after the
DirectoryIndex specification, like this:
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.cgi index.pl index.xhtml index.htm

Install PHP Modules
To enhance the functionalit of PHP, we can optionall install some additional modules.
S C R O L L TO TO P

To see the available options for PHP modules and libraries, ou can pipe the results of
apt-cache search into less , a pager which lets ou scroll through the output of
other commands:
$ apt-cache search php- | less
Use the arrow kes to scroll up and down, and q to quit.
The results are all optional components that ou can install. It will give ou a short
description for each:
libnet-libidn-perl - Perl bindings for GNU Libidn

php-all-dev - package depending on all supported PHP development packages
php-cgi - server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (CGI binary) (default)
php-cli - command-line interpreter for the PHP scripting language (default)
php-common - Common files for PHP packages
php-curl - CURL module for PHP [default]
php-dev - Files for PHP module development (default)
php-gd - GD module for PHP [default]
php-gmp - GMP module for PHP [default]
…
:
To get more information about what each module does, ou can either search the
internet, or ou can look at the long description of the package b tping:
$ apt-cache show package_name

the module provides.
ign Up
For example, to find out what the php-cli module does, we could tpe this:
$ apt-cache show php-cli S C R O L L TO TO P

Along with a large amount of other information, ou'll find something that looks like
this:
Output
…
Description-en: command-line interpreter for the PHP scripting language (default
This package provides the /usr/bin/php command interpreter, useful for
testing PHP scripts from a shell or performing general shell scripting tasks.
.
PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used
open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited
for web development and can be embedded into HTML.
.

PHP version (currently 7.0).
…
If, after researching, ou decide ou would like to install a package, ou can do so b
using the apt-get install command like we have been doing for our other
software.
If we decided that php-cli is something that we need, we could tpe:
$ sudo apt-get install php-cli
If ou want to install more than one module, ou can do that b listing each one,
separated b a space, following the apt-get install command, like this:
$ sudo apt-get install package1 package2 ...

At this point, our LAMP stack is installed and configured. We should still test out our
ign Up
PHP though.
tep 4: Test PHP Processing on our Web

S C R Oerver
L L TO TO P

In order to test that our sstem is configured properl for PHP, we can create a ver
basic PHP script.
We will call this script info.php . In order for Apache to find the file and serve it
correctl, it must be saved to a ver specific director, which is called the "web root".
In Ubuntu 16.04, this director is located at /var/www/html/ . We can create the file at
that location b tping:
$ sudo nano /var/www/html/info.php
This will open a blank file. We want to put the following text, which is valid PHP code,
inside the file:
info.php
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
When ou are finished, save and close the file.
Now we can test whether our web server can correctl displa content generated b a
PHP script. To tr this out, we just have to visit this page in our web browser. You'll
need our server's public IP address again.
The address ou want to visit will be:

http://your_server_IP_address/info.php ×
The page that ou come to should look something like this: ign Up
S C R O L L TO TO P

This page basicall gives ou information about our server from the perspective of
PHP. It is useful for debugging and to ensure that our settings are being applied
correctl.
If this was successful, then our PHP is working as expected.
You probabl want to remove this file after this test because it could actuall give
information about our server to unauthorized users. To do this, ou can tpe this:
$ sudo rm /var/www/html/info.php

Conclusion
Now that ou have a LAMP stack installed, ou have man choices for what to do next.
S C R O L L TO TO P
Basicall, ou've installed a platform that will allow ou to install most kinds of websites

and web software on our server.
As an immediate next step, ou should ensure that connections to our web server are
secured, b serving them via HTTP. The easiest option here is to use Let's Encrpt to
secure our site with a free TL/L certificate.
ome other popular options are:
Install Wordpress the most popular content management sstem on the internet.
et Up PHPMAdmin to help manage our MQL databases from web browser.
Learn more about MQL to manage our databases.
Learn how to use FTP to transfer files to and from our server.
Note: We will be updating the links above to our 16.04 documentation as it is written.

jschwenn MOD April 22, 2016 S C R O L L TO TO P
0 Hi,

The cPanel full backup is a compressed file that normall is named like backup-
[date]_[time]_[cPanel user name].tar.gz . This file can be be uncompressed
on a Mac b double clicking on it. For Windows, most unzip utilities should also be able
to uncompress the file.
After uncompressing the file ou'll have a folder with man other folders and files in it. All
of our website files should be in homedir/public_html and ou'll see the database
backups under the mysql folder. Those two items will make up our WordPress site.
You can then follow a process ver similar to the outlined here to migrate the WordPress
site to our new server.
