Installing LAMP on Linux Mint 13 | Maya | KDE | XFCE

1. Install Apache2 on Linux Mint using apt-get.

sudo apt-get install apache2

2. Install PHP and the module enabling Apache to work with PHP using apt-get.

sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5

3. Install MySQL Server and set root MySQL user password with the following command, it will automatically prompt you for the password during installation.

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

4. Install Sendmail or phpMyAdmin with the 2 following commands. (I read something about Sendmail not being used that much anymore but it does the job if this is just for web development or something similar, when I installed with the following command it worked right away however you may need to restart Apache.)

sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
sudo apt-get install sendmail

5. Restart Apache with the following command to ensure everything works properly.

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

6. Create a quick php test script that uses the phpinfo() function to test your server with. After running this command simply open up Firefox or Chrome and go to http://127.0.0.1/index.php or http://localhost/index.php.

sudo echo “” > /var/www/index.php
