UEC, Lamp Server in Cloud

[ashishrevar]

Hello there,
I am working on academic project in which I need to build Cloud and then deploy a PHP application on it, so others can get the access over it.

I've build a cloud in my laptop, but this is only command line cloud, no GUI. how to deal with it?
I am having my code for the php application with mysql database, so how to run apache server and mysql server in cloud?

Where should I put this code and database?

Waiting for positive response.

Hi!
Please follow steps 6 and 7 for downloading and starting an instance on your cloud

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/CDInstall#STEP 6: Install an image from the store

Once started, you should ssh into the virtual instance, and deploy your php code like any other Linux server

Hi Kim0,

How is it possible?
Those steps are about to install images of OS (Linux). But I want to run php application with mysql, what to do?

Do I need to bundle it and make an image of it?
Any tutorial of it available?

Hi there,

Perhaps you will understand the workflow from my screencast showing how to run wordpress (LAMP app) in 60 seconds

Hi ashishrevar,
you should first know that an Eucalyptus instance is much the same as a normal OS running on some PC (only some small differences ).

I've build a cloud in my laptop, but this is only command line cloud, no GUI. how to deal with it?

You dont need a GUI to run a Webserver. It is even highly recommended to run a LAMP( Linux Apache mysql php ) on a server without GUI ( for security ).

I am having my code for the php application with mysql database, so how to run apache server and mysql server in cloud?

1-Just run an Instance on your cloud
2-loggin into your instance
3- run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get -y install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server
5- Create your mysql database
6- copy your php code into /var/www and remove /var/www/index.html
7- Et voila

To see the result just type http://<ipaddress> to the Browser of your Laptop.

Don't forget to have the port 80 enabled from your policy.

Hello there,

Thanks to all for sharing your knowledge.
My question is that I am having totally Non-GUI based environment in my cloud, so how to copy down my php code there?
Should I use pendrive or something else?

Hello there,
I have one doubt about this. If I upload my php application and my MySQL database in cloud, then will it be accessible by outside world?

If I am running my cloud in my laptop at my home and I want to access that application from my college PC(Different Network) then how to deal with it?
