==Setting up LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL & PHP)==

  * If you have Debian OS installed in your system, type su and press enter it will prompt for password, enter your root password

  * If you have Ubuntu OS installed in your system, type sudo su and press enter it will prompt for password, enter your root password

  * Update package sources

  apt-get update

(This is safer than apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade, because it safely upgrades your server and resolves dependencies)

  * Install Apache2 and PHP5

  apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-gd
  chmod -R 777 /var/www/html

Check if apache is working

  /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
  nano /var/www/html/info.php

Copy & paste the folowing php code in the nano editor

  <?php
  phpinfo();
  ?>

Go and check http://localhost/info.php in your browser to see configuration of installed php version.

  * Install Mysql and PHPmyadmin

  apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client php5-mysql
  apt-get install phpmyadmin

When prompted for a password enter **hello** (You can also set your own password).

  * Creating a MySQL DB & user for your Drupal installation

  mysqladmin -u root -p create d8

Enter **hello** (mysql password) when you are prompted for password. If you get a "Database exists" error, please issue "mysqladmin -u root -p drop d8" to delete the existing database and then issue the create command.

  * Configuring Apache for Clean URLs

  a2enmod rewrite

 
  nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
