I have tried to install a lamp sever on my ubuntu 10.04 (home) installation by typing this into the terminal:

sudo apt-get install lamp-server^

However, afterwards, when I point my browser towards http://localhost I geta 403 Forbidden error. I tried multiple times to change the permissions of the /var/www/ folder by right clicking it and setting the permissions to read and write for my user, but it just goes back to what it was after I close the options window.

HELP

  • What do you expect instead of the error 403 when loading http://localhost/? Have you placed any files into the directory /var/www/?

Take a look at the chapter about Apache httpd in the Ubuntu Server Guide. It describes the setup fairly well and should answer your questions.

The error 403 when browsing http://localhost/ suggests that there is no index.html in /var/www and that Options +Indexes is not set.

I think you want to use tasksel instead for the package.

sudo tasksel install lamp-server

Then check if your apache is running with the following:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 status

  • apt-get install lamp-server^ is the same as tasksel install lamp-server. Just look at the output of tasksel -t install lamp-server.

  • Those were the instructions from the Ubuntu Community help page: help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
