How to install LAMP on the Banwagonhost VPS cloud server

LAMP is an acronym that stands for Linux (L), Apache (A), MySQL (M), and PHP (P). LAMP helps many different web applications, providing the core foundation required for proper hosting. LAMP builds support for established applications such as WordPress, Drupal, etc.

To use LAMP, only basic Linux packages are required. After connecting as root via SSH, you can install LAMP on your VPS.

Preparation

Before starting further installation, you need to ensure that your operating system is up to date by running the following command:

yum update

Install Apache

Step 1: Install Apache as a web server. Enter "Y" for Yes when prompted.

yum install httpd

Step 2: Enable Apache.

systemctl enable httpd

Step 3: Set up Apache to start at boot.

systemctl start httpd

Step 4: Check the status of Apache (httpd).

systemctl status httpd

Step 5: Once Apache is installed and verified, make sure it is working properly by navigating to the server IP in the URL. An HTTP server test page should now appear.

Install MySQL

Step 1: Now, you need to install MySQL. Follow these quick steps:

yum -y install @mysql

Step 2: Enable MySQL.

systemctl enable --now mysqld

Step 3: Set mySQL to start when the server starts.

systemctl start mysqld

Step 4: Verify that MySQL is active.

systemctl status mysqld

Step 5: Secure your MySQL.

MySQL asks if you want to verify the password component to test the password and improve security. Go ahead and enter "y" or "Y" for yes.

Select a password strength between 0 and 2. Next, you need to enter the password you will need in the future. Once you've done this and set your password, go ahead and reply "Yes" to the following options:

• Do you want to continue using the password provided?
• Delete anonymous users?
• Disable remote root login?
• Delete the test database and access it?
• Reload the permissions table now?

Step 6: From here, you need to log in to your MySQL installation.

mysql -u root -p

Step 7: You now need to create the database with a user who has permissions. Note that we are using "lampuser" and "password" as the database username and password for this tutorial. You can then interchange these with your requirements.

CREATE DATABASE lamp_db; CREATE USER lampuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'lampuser'@'localhost'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

(Note: When running the above MySQL command, "lamp_db" is the database, "lampuser" is the database username, and "password" is the database password

Install PHP

Step 1: You need to install PHP using the following line yum and answer "Y" for yes when prompted.

yum installphp

Step 2: Install more php extensions and applications. Answer "Y" for Yes when prompted.

yum install php-pear php-mysqlnd php-curl php-mbstring php-gd php-xml php-pear php-fpm php-pdo php-opcache php-json php-zip php-cli

Step 3: Enable PHP.

systemctl enable php-fpm

Step 4: Make sure PHP starts on boot.

systemctl start php-fpm

Check whether it is running normally

Step 1: Make sure Apache is running by running the following command. Note that if this process is working properly, it should also show the active (running) status in green.

systemctl status httpd

Step 2: Make sure MySQL is running by running the following command. Note that if this process is working properly, it should also show the active (running) status in green.

systemctl status mysqld

Step 3: Make sure PHP is running by running the following command. Note that if this process is working properly, it should also show the active (running) status in green.

systemctl status php-fpm

Step 4: You are now done! Your LAMP is installed and ready for any of your future hosting needs.
