Getting started with the LAMP environment of Ubuntu 6.06

I am a newbie who is not proficient in Linux. I want to install a Linux Server of Ubuntu 6.06 and use the LAMP package on this server to run my own website. LAMP kit is "Linux + Apache + Mysql + PHP these four software constitute a set of tools that can run the website software ." Through Google search and installation attempts, I have gained some successful installation and configuration experience. Through this article, I will learn from the Linux website server system beginners. In this installation of website software environment, Apache2 web service software, MySQL5 website background database software, and PHP5 interpreter language software will be used. The configured system can also provide FTP services.

If your computer is equipped with enough physical memory, we recommend that you download a vmwarevirtual machine software to install the Web server environment software. Virtual machines provided by Vmware software can make installation and configuration change very simple. Vmware software can be downloaded for free from here.

Install Ubuntu 6.06 Linux Server Software

Download the Ubuntu server software CD image file (. iso file) from the Ubuntu website, and use the recording software to make the downloaded ISO file into a CD. During installation, select the LAMP installation mode in the installation menu for installation, and install the prompt for software configuration.

After the installation process ends by default, the only prompt displayed in front of you will be a Linux Command Prompt. As a new Linux user, you can make two choices: 1. learn which commands are input at the command prompt to configure the LAMP website server. 2. continue the installation, add a graphical user interface software to the machine, and manage the LAMP website server in a visual and intuitive way. The second method is easy for beginners.

To obtain a graphical user interface software (either KDE or Gnome) from a command prompt, you need to enter some commands. The Gnome graphic user interface is relatively easy to use.

Enter the following command at the command prompt to obtain the Gnome graphical user interface software:

Sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

When running the preceding command, make sure that your machine is connected to the Internet. When running the sudo command, you will be prompted to enter the root password of the privileged user, because the above command can only be run by the root user. If the password is entered correctly, the installation of the graphic user interface starts automatically. After the installation is complete, the system prompts you to restart. When you start the system again, you will enter a Gnome graphical user interface, in which you can easily manage and adjust the entire machine.
