When Thomas Edison worked late into the night on the electric light, he had to do it by a gas LAMP or candle. I’m sure it made the work seem that much more urgent.

Ubuntu 13.04 ‘Raring Ringtail’ released yesterday and though I use Crunchbang, like any ex Ubuntu fanboy I got myself the iso, put it on a thumbdrive and installed it on a small netbook I have that was just lying around doing nothing fancy. I thought I d install the new Ubuntu on it and use it to ‘code’ while in the John or while standing in the line at Starbucks
So anyway, I had to setup a LAMP server:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
MySQL
sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client
Apache
sudo apt-get install apache2
PHP
sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql
Restart Apache
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
phpMyAdmin
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
I don’t like to use Apache’s default http folder /var/www so I need to update the apache2.conf file:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Changing the default location will require me to make sure phpMyAdmin continues to load on http://localhost/phpMyAdmin so at the end of the same file I ll add the virtual host configuration for phpMyAdmin
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
Restart Apache
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
