how to install lamp server in fedora 11

Question

How do I install lamp server on fedora 11 . Please can someone guide me with the steps. Mithun

Answer 1

As for the busy admin answer to this question, the four components of a typical LAMP server are: Linux (Fedora in this case), Apache httpd, MySQL, and PHP. You should be able to select these components rather easily in the Fedora installer, but assuming you've been given a barebones install with root shell access instead, try the following:

yum install httpd mysql-server php

You will want to add other php modules (yum list "php*" will give you a long list) and administration tools as needed. Also, you may need to make firewall and/or SELinux configuration changes before the serverw ill be available to external users.

Google is your friend :) here is a tutorial

Answer 3

Yes google will return many guides...here is another link HERE

Main thing is to look at what modules you will need, like php-gd etc for the content you want to host and apache2 config itself for virtual hosts etc as that is quite often posted

hope that helps

Answer 4

Depending on what you want it for the prepackaged XAMPP can be very handy to have. For testing, etc, you can just un-tar it and go, then delete the directory when you're finished.

The start-up scripts will make it reasonably secure, and in about 30 seconds after the download finishes you get Apache, MySQL, ProFTPd, phpMyAdmin (vital), and PHP, all ready and running, with some pretty pages to show you what you can do.

Answer 6

you could use this http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-apache2-with-php5-and-mysql-support-on-fedora-11-lamp which will goive you a basic working server although not a secure/optimised one

or if you were after a slightly different approach ie nginx instead of apache http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-nginx-with-php5-and-mysql-support-on-fedora-11
