Here is the apt-get command to install a basic lamp environment on ubuntu hardy 8.04 with some “quick start help” commands.
First,
sudo apt-get install apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server php5-gd phpmyadmin
This will install apache 2 php 5.2 and mysql server 5 and their dependencies. The deamons are launched at install and basically, only apache2 needs a bit of configuration.
To enable ~/public_html user folder (which you reach in a browser with this URL : http://localhost/~username) do :
sudo a2enmod userdir && sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
The default document root is /var/www (you need superuser privileges to write in this directory), but you can add more sites. Edit a new configuration file for the new site :
gksudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/<site_name>
Replace
To enable this new site do :
sudo a2ensite <site_name> && sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
To manage mysql users and database, simply use phpmyadmin by entering this url in your browser : http://localhost/phpmyadmin
The php config file is located at : /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and requires a restart of apache if you make any change in it.

Wow, this saved me. It’s been a long time since I’ve had to install an ubuntu server w/ desktop environment and could’t remember how I got LAMP on the desktop version. Thanks, much appreciated.
Glad it helps ya
Thanks for this. I was in the same boat as Matt after doing a fresh install of Kubuntu 8.04 for my home server. Much appreciated.
You’re most welcome
If the 127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin is giving you 404, try creating a link to /usr/share/phpmyadmin
type this in console: sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin phpmyadmin
worked for me
Requesting http://localhost/phpmyadmin should work for everyboby.
Otherwise, I’d rather link /usr/share/phpmyadmin in /var/www
tasksel is your friend if you wanna do all these stuffs, and not only that
it will give you a lot of options from setting up a server service like: DNS, Mail, Samba, etc. to Ubuntu Studio …
just make sure your connection is broadband.
choose a mirror close to you before you do this.
i assume you already installed ubuntu desktop in your box so you can
change the package repositories easily from the administration menu.
then you may type: sudo tasksel
hope it helps
