Ubuntu Server Lamp,but no phpmyadmin?

[steeldriver]

those commands should be

sudo service mysql start

and so on I think

And that should be apache2 not apache. You need to look at the list of services available in /etc/init.d before you blindly try to start them!

It looks like mysql was not set up. You need to go through a mysql configuration by creating a database with a proper administrator username and password.

man service

To learn more about starting services using the service command. Either method works.

Got it working you guys =). I just removed/purge everything dealing with LAMP. I even found out how to put wordpress on it!
