Install Apache

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install apache2

vim /etc/apache2/httpd.conf Add this line: ServerName localhost

To check if Apache is installed, direct your browser to your server’s IP address (eg. http://12.34.56.789). The page should display the words “It works!”

Install MySQL

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

During the installation, MySQL will ask you to set a root password.

Once you have installed MySQL, we should activate it with this command: sudo mysql_install_db

Finish up by running the MySQL set up script:

sudo /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

It’s easiest just to say Yes to all the options. At the end, MySQL will reload and implement the new changes.
