Below are the steps to install LAMP (Apache, PHP and MySQL in Linux) using Yum:-
- Go to CentOS and download a copy of CentOS Linux and install it (i’ll not go thru the howto install CentOS with you here)
- Once your CentOS is installed. Open a terminal (if you are using X-Window), and type yuminstall httpd and follow on screen instruction to install apache web server
- Once apache web server has been installed, type yum install php
- Once PHP installed successfully, type yum install mysql-server mysql
- Once everything finish, type service httpd start to start your apache web server, screen will show you if web server service successfully started
- type service mysqld start to start your mysql server
- Once both services is running, you can point your browser to http://localhost and you should see a welcome page from CentOS
- If you see that welcome page, you just installed everything successfull.
- To test if php is running, go to /var/www/html and create an index.php file with the content below
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
and refresh your browser again. If you see a purple PHP information page showing all the php configuration variables, then php is running now. - Congratulation, you just successfully installed LAMP in your machine.
