    How to install Apache, PHP and MySQL on Debian

    Apache, PHP and MySQL on Linux Debian


    1. General
    This article will guide you in installing a Web server Apache with PHP, MySQL and phpMyAdmin. This assumes that you have an Internet connection and an environment Debian GNU Linux. If you do not have GNU/ Debian Linux operating system, then you can visit their official site and see the documentation on installation.

    2. Update apt sources
    To install the latest packages, it is necessary to update the package list of the tool apt . Please log in root in a terminal using the command su. Type ensuite apt-get update. Once the download is complete, you have the list of latest packages.

    3. Installing Apache 2
    This is the only Web server. Without documentation, no server side language, no database can rally work.
    Just issue the following command in your terminal as a root user
    Code:
    apt-get install apache2
    Total size: 5252 KB (approximate)
    You can verify that the server is running by typing
    Code:
    http://127.0.0.1/
    in your favorite browser


    4. Installing Apache 2 documentation
    This documentation is visible from a virtual server.
    Just issue the following command from the terminal as a root user
    Code:
    apt-get install apache2-doc
    Total size: 14.3 Mb (approximate)
    This material is visible by typing
    Code:
    http://127.0.0.1/manual/
    in a browser. You restart the server using the command
    Code:
    / Etc/init.d/apache2 restart.

    5. Installing MySQL
    The popular free database MySql is very powerful. Version 4.1 supports nested queries, so why not use it?
    You have to issue the following command in the terminal as a root user
    Code:
    apt-get install mysql-server-4.1
    Total size: 41.0 MB (approximate)
    Your database is operational, we must now set a password for the super user root to avoid any security. In the terminal type
    Code:
    mysql-u root
    You are then directly connected to root on the MySQL server. The first thing to do is create a password.
    Code:
    mysql> USE mysql; mysql> UPDATE user -> SET password = PASSWORD
    ('motsecret') -> WHERE user = 'root'; mysql> flush privileges;
    Disconnect the command you exit, you can reconnect using
    Code:
    mysql-u root-p
    By doing so, MySQL will prompt you for your password.

    6. Installing PHP 4
    PHP allows you to generate Web pages dynamically. It is a server-side programming language. It is able to fetch information in the MySQL database.
    Just issue the following command in the terminal as a root user
    Code:
    apt-get install libapache2-mod-php4 php4-mysql php4-gd php4-cli
    Total size: 8012 KB (approximate)
    We installed the PHP 4 module for Apache 2 module that allows communication between PHP and the MySQL server. A PHP interpreter command line, very convenient. For other packages php4 to install, do php4 apt-cache search. Search for the package name corresponding to your needs, then install it if necessary. Here is the list of packages related to PHP extensions:
    Code:
    php4-apd
    php4-auth-pam
    php4-cgi
    php4-cli
    php4-common
    php4-curl
    php4-dbtcp
    php4-dev
    php4-domxml
    php4-gd
    php4-gpib
    php4-idn
    php4-imagick
    php4-imap
    php4-interbase
    php4-ldap
    php4-maxdb
    php4-mcal
    php4-mcrypt
    php4-mhash
    php4-mysql
    odbc php4-
    php4-pear
    php4-pear-log
    php4-pgsql
    php4-ps
    php4-recode
    php4-rrdtool
    php4-snmp
    php4-sqlite
    php4-sqlrelay
    php4-sybase
    php4-syck
    php4-tclink
    php4-xslt

    7. Installing phpMyAdmin
    This tool developed in PHP will be very useful to administer and manage your databases.
    Issue the following command in the terminal as a root user
    Code:
    apt-get install phpmyadmin
    Total size: 9486 kb (approximate)
    Then you will have access to phpMyAdmin by typing in the address bar
    Code:
    http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/
    After you restart the Apache server log in as root. You then have the possibility to create databases, manage privileges, then create users and give them rights on these grounds.

    8. Create a directory for users (personal pages) of the machine
    To ensure that each system user has a space to host their web pages, you need to configure Apache in the file
    Code:
    / Etc/apache2/apache2.confusing
    using vim or any other editor which you like and this as root (control su) Locate the following lines:
    Code:
    # UserDir Is Now a module # UserDir public_html # UserDir disabled root 
    # <Directory /home/*/public_html> # AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit 
    # Options Indexes # SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNOEXEC </Directory>
    Uncomment all and then store at
    Code:
    # UserDir Is Now a module UserDir public_html UserDir disabled root 
    <Directory /home/*/public_html> AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit 
    Options Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNOEXEC </Directory>
    For the changes to take effect, we will have to restart the Web server using the command
    Code:
    /Etc/init.d/apache2 restart
    Run this command in the terminal as a root user. Now every user has the ability to implement its own homepage. For this, they simply create a directory name public_html, his home directory. The directory should at least be running for the other group and owner. The directory public_html must be readable by everyone.
    Code:
    $ cd / home / test / 
    $ mkdir public_html 
    $ chmod 755 public_html / 
    $ chmod o + x. / 
    $ cd public_html 
    $ cat> index.php <?php phpinfo(); ?> 
    CTRL + D to end of file
    From now on, personal Web space is available from the address
    Code:
    http://127.0.0.1/ ~ user /
    Or in the case of the example above
    Code:
    http://127.0.0.1/ test ~ /

    9. Conclusion
    I hope this tutorial will help you. If you are going to use these software's that is Apache, MySql, PHP on GNU/Linux Debian system, then you will get a great performance from your web server. GNU/Linux Debian is very well know for its stability.
