Installing LAMP On Ubuntu For Newbies

Installing LAMP On Ubuntu For Newbies

in this guide I will show you how to install a LAMP system. LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. The guide is intended to help those who have very little knowlegde of using Linux.

2. Copy/Paste the following line of code into Terminal and then press enter:

sudo apt-get install apache2
3. The Terminal will then ask you for you're password, type it and then press enter.

Testing Apache

To make sure everything installed correctly we will now test Apache to ensure it is working properly.

1. Open up any web browser and then enter the following into the web address:

http://localhost/

You should see a folder entitled apache2-default/. Open it and you will see a message saying "It works!" , congrats to you!


Install PHP

In this part we will install PHP 5.

Step 1. Again open up the Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal).

Step 2. Copy/Paste the following line into Terminal and press enter:

sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5

Step 3. In order for PHP to work and be compatible with Apache we must restart it. Type the following code in Terminal to do this:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart


Test PHP

To ensure there are no issues with PHP let's give it a quick test run.

Step 1. In the terminal copy/paste the following line:

sudo gedit /var/www/testphp.php

This will open up a file called phptest.php.

Step 2. Copy/Paste this line into the phptest file:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Step 3. Save and close the file.

Step 4. Now open you're web browser and type the following into the web address:

http://localhost/testphp.php



Install MySQL

To finish this guide up we will install MySQL. (Note - Out of Apache and PHP, MySQL is the most difficult to set up. I will provide some great resources for anyone having trouble at the end of this guide.)

Step 1. Once again open up the amazing Terminal and then copy/paste this line:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server
Step 2 (optional). In order for other computers on your network to view the server you have created, you must first edit the "Bind Address". Begin by opening up Terminal to edit the my.cnf file.

gksudo gedit /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Change the line

bind-address = 127.0.0.1
And change the 127.0.0.1 to your IP address.

Step 3. This is where things may start to get tricky. Begin by typing the following into Terminal:

mysql -u root

Following that copy/paste this line:

mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('yourpassword');

(Make sure to change yourpassword to a password of your choice.)

Step 4. We are now going to install a program called phpMyAdmin which is an easy tool to edit your databases. Copy/paste the following line into Terminal:

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql phpmyadmin

After that is installed our next task is to get PHP to work with MySQL. To do this we will need to open a file entitled php.ini. To open it type the following:

gksudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Now we are going to have to uncomment the following line by taking out the semicolon (;).

Change this line:

;extension=mysql.so

To look like this:

extension=mysql.so

To check your Ubuntu version using the command line:

1. TO CHECK UBUNTU VERSION;

1. Open a Terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal).
2. Type "lsb_release -a" and press Enter.
3. The Ubuntu version will be displayed on the screen. 

2. CHANGE PERMISSION IN VAR/WWW

when you have install php in tour system in var/www/testphp.php. con't having write permission means you can do the command


If you can do this, try the following:

sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www

then do:
            sudo cp hello.php /var/www
I only recommend doing this if you know 100% that it is ok to set permissions on the whole WWW folder. By the sounds of it, you are running on your own production server as most live/shared hosting servers are setup so that the WWW folder is not in the /var folder (instead it is in the home folder of the user).
 
Be VERY careful when doing anything with the sudo prefix though, you can seriously damage your

Javascript

 javascript is used to design the website and make easier and faster


Document .write(" ");    this is the print the message
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function show_alert()
{
alert("Hello! I am super man");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>


<button type="button" onclick="show_alert()" value="Show alert box">show alert box</button>

</body>
</html>

juggernaut

The Juggernaut plugin for Ruby on Rails aims to revolutionize your Rails app by letting the server initiate a connection and push data to the client. In other words your app can have a real time connection to the server with the advantage of instant updates. Although the obvious use of this is for chat, the most exciting prospect is collaborative cms and wikis.

Install

1. nstall the prerequisites
2. execute the command in rails:

ruby script/plugin install git://github.com/maccman/juggernaut_plugin.git
      

3. Add this to any pages you want Juggernaut 'enabled':

<%= javascript_include_tag 'prototype', :juggernaut %>
      

4. Also add this to the head of any views you want to use Juggernaut:

<%= juggernaut %>
        

5. Install the gem:

sudo gem install juggernaut
        

6. Configure the gem:

juggernaut -g juggernaut.yml
       

7. Start the push server:

juggernaut -c juggernaut.yml
        

8. Now, visit the view you made earlier, you should see a msg saying 'Juggernaut Connected on localhost:5001' (If you're using Firebug it'll appear in that, otherwise it'll be an alert)
9. Then, to send data to juggernaut, execute this in the console:

Juggernaut.send_to_all("alert('hi from juggernaut')"

How to set up PuTTY and connect to victorio

Doubleclick on the PuTTY.exe icon, and get a small box in return. To the right, you are prompted for "Host Name". Ex.192.168.1.5  (where user is your username). Give the connection a name, e.g. "victorio" (in the space one field down).

Then, click Terminal to the left, and choose UTF-8 (or, in recent versions: In the leftmost box (Category) of the Putty settings box, under Window choose Translation.

The default translation is ISO-8859-1, you should open the list and choose UTF-8. Font size 8 gives you a normal amount on text, and most monitors give you 50 lines of text.

After having made these choices, go back to the first (or rightmost) menu, and click on save in the menu to the rignt. Make sure SSH is chosen under "Protocol", and click on "Open" at the bottom of the window.

If everything is ok, you will find a new window in front of you, prompting for your user name. Write it, and then press the ENTER key, and write your password, followed by ENTER. Then you are logged in.
This presupposes that you have a Sámi keyboard on your PC.

From 2004 onwards all new Windows XP systems have Sámi keyboards installed, you may find it by right-clicking the keyboard symbol, or via the Control Panel.
