LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) is an open source Web development platform that uses Linux as operating system, Apache as the Web server, MySQL as the relational database management system and PHP as the object-oriented scripting language.
In this Simple tutorial we will explain you how to install LAMP server on your Install Lamp in opensuse 11.0 and 11.1 Desktop
The installation will be done in 3 steps:
Apache, PHP and MySQL, after that we will install phpmyadmin the administration software tool for MySql.
1- Apache2 installation
lets use zypper to install apache
#zypper install apache2
check if httpd is running
# rcapache2 status
edit the index page of apache, choose a message for example “welcome to my server“:
# cd /srv/www/htdocs
#vi index.html
Write for example :
welcome to my server
then save and exit
Start Apache2 Webserver
# rcapache2 start
2- PHP5 and dependencies installation:
#zypper install php5 php5-mysql apache2-mod_php5
This should install PHP5, PHP5-MySQL module and the Apache2 PHP5 module.
Restart apache
# rcapache2 restart
3- MySql Installation :
To install mysql use the command
# zypper install mysql mysql-tools
check of now mysqld is running with
# rcmysql status
Checking for service MySQL: unused
-Now start mysql:
# rcmysql start
Starting service MySQL done
-Now set Root Password for mysql
# mysqladmin -u root -p rootpassword
in the rootpassword type any complicated password
Install phpmyadmin:
Phpmyadmin the administration software tool for MySql. To install it use the command :
#zypper install phpMyAdmin
then
# cd /srv/www/htdocs/phpMyAdmin
# cp config.sample.inc.php config.inc.php
edit this file and change this line to :
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ‘mysqladmin’
Now restart your apache and check the phpMyadmin page :
http://localhost/phpMyAdmin
