PHP Development

[Ciwan]

Hello Guys

After doing some Research I found out that in order to do PHP Development on Ubuntu I would need to type the following in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install php5 mysql-server apache2 phpmyadmin

I have done that. But now I do not know how to start the System, also where the [ public_html ] folder is !!

I would greatly appreciate any help with this.

Thank You.

your web server folder is at /var/www
you can access phpmyadmin at http://localhost/phpmyadmin
note that you will have to change the permission of your php script to make them runnalbe I guess.

I don't think a permission change is necessary. As long as the .php files are in /var/www or some subdirectory thereof, they will be executed when called by the server? I don't remember having to change their permissions before, but I've not tried for quite a while.

I started the apache server. It shows It works!

This is the default web page for this server.

The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.

but when i try to start phpmyadmin i got the following message:
The requested URL /phpmyadmin was not found on this server.

I already installed the phpmyadmin using sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

Hi, from your browser ..

type in http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ Or, just click on the link, if you're feeling lazy

That should fire phpmyadmin up for you.

Hmmm..

Can you go into System --> Administration --> Synaptics Package Manager

Then type in phpmyadmin in the search window and see if you have a little green square next to the entry for phpmyadmin

Thanks,

Phill.

Ya, i ve that green filled square

It'd probably be easier to just get cheap hosting somewhere else for $5 a month.

Hmmm....

 ps -ef | grep apache

Should be about 10 entries

 ps -ef | grep mysql

Should have a line starting with mysql and ending with /usr/sbin/mysqld
