nstalling Apache MySQL, PHP and phpmyadmin on Ubuntu10.10 Maverick Meerkat is far easier and less complicated than doing the same on Fedora 13, (my own experience).
Step 1: You start by installing mysql
sudo apt-get install mysql-client mysql-server
Specify new password for the MySQl “root” user when prompted. Repeat it for a second time and you would have MySQL server and client installed.
Step 2: Next, install Apache2:
sudo apt-get install apache2
Step 3: To install support for PHP, do the usual
sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5
To verify that everything installed correctly and php support is enabled, you need torestart apache by doing this
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Create a test php file called info.php, using a text editor of your choice (say gedit)
sudo gedit /var/www/info.php
and paste the following content and save the file
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Step 4: To make MySQL, php and apache talk among themselves, you would have to install php5-mysql, below I am listing some more useful packages that you might want to install
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql php5-curl php5-gd php5-idn php-pear php5-imagick php5-imap php5-mcrypt php5-memcache php5-ming php5-ps php5-pspell php5-recode php5-snmp php5-sqlite php5-tidy php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl php5-common
Now refresh the info.php page that you have open in your browser and you should be able to see the support for mysql if you search for it by doing Ctrl+f, but before that don’t forget to restart apache again (sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart)
