Installing LAMP

[noren]

Hi ,

I have been using the Ubuntu Hardy as a Desktop PC for a quit long time now, I wanted to start it as for my development platform also..

I need to work on Webserver, MySQL, and php..
How can I install LAMP on the existing platform.
Or I would have to install the Server version from scratch... :(

If yes, I would like to get an updated tutorial to do so.

For the desktop version you can do:

sudo apt-get install apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server php5-gd phpmyadmin

If you want to install Ubuntu Server (recommended) here is a tutorial:

Or you can use this one:

Please note that although the above is a great guide, you probably don't need to install Bind9 like they recommend unless you have many servers on your network.
