How to install PHP & MySql on Ubuntu 9.04

[harshalhirve]

hello :)

i have just installed Ubuntu 9.04, inside my Windows XP.
Now i want to install "LAMP / XAMP" i.e. PHP, Apache & MySql (PhpMyAdmin) on it.

Please tell me all the steps in detail. Its very urgent.

[mimor]

sudo apt-get install httpd php5 php5-mysql mysql-server

does it work? (you should also get a screen asking to give up a mysql root pass)

Nothing more easy..


sudo apt-get install lamp-server@mimor
your command does not install apache, phpmyadmin and others libraries that harshalhirve need for development..

I prefer

sudo tasksel
Super easy and you are also able to install other server roles.
In order to install Phpmyadmin as well, do the following

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql phpmyadmin

[sahabcse]

open the synaptic manager in system>>Administration menu

there select

apache2.2-common
libapache-mod-php5
php5
php5-cgi
php5-gd
mysql-client 5.0
mysql-server 5.0
mysql-admin
phpmyadmin

Hi all!

I'm having trouble getting php5 + mysql work.

I installed apache2, libapache2-mod-php5, php5, php-mysql5, mysql-server following the instructions on ubuntuusers.de

phpinfo() doesn't show anything concerning mysql except for this line:

additional .ini files parsed /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/gd.ini, /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/mysql.ini, /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/mysqli.ini, /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/pdo.ini, /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/pdo_mysql.ini

MySQL is running and I can easily access it via MySQL Administrator.

Trying to connect php to mysql fails:

$con = mysql_connect("localhost","user","password");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /home/anita/public_html/guestbook/guestbook.php on line 13

I tried adding

extension=mysql.so

to /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini, but it didn't help.

Any help would be appreciated

[sahabcse]

check your mysql user name and password entry

[anitagraser]

Do you mean in the PHP code? The values there are correct (didn't post them here of course). But then it can't even find the function, so PHP doesn't know of MySql. I just don't know how to fix that.

Did you restart Apache2 after you added - extension=mysql.so ?
Also if your using Firefox clear out your browser cache.

[anitagraser]

@wojox: Yes, I did restart Apache multiple times, even rebootet.

The problem is solved. I removed all above packages with:

sudo apt-get --purge remove <package>

and then reinstalled everything sahabcse mentioned using Synaptic Package Manager.

Thank you!

I installed php5-mysql, restart mysql, then fatal error resolved.
