Tutorial: Setting Up An Ubuntu Web Server (Apache And PHP)
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wed, 01/17/2007 - 06:20.
This post is designed for those of you who have some experience working on webpages, but may not have a lot of background with actually setting up the webserver itself. Basically, if you want to setup a quick webserver (perhaps on a spare computer for testing), this will get things started. This will not tell you how to install Ubuntu (okay, I lied: put in the CD, boot from it, double-click the install icon, BAM!) This tutorial makes use of the apt-get install X command (and may be useful for Debian and Debian-based Linux installs). As always, what works for me might give you the plague…
Most of these commands have to be input into the terminal as the “super user,” which means you will have to put sudo in front of a command if you don’t have proper permissions.
Also: Build Low Cost LAMP Server using Ubuntu Edgy Eft in about 15min.
re: Tutorial: Setting up an Ubuntu
One would hope that if you're going to write a tutorial on a topic that has been done a least a bazillion times before, that you'd make it interesting, or in-depth, or illustrated with screen shots and graphics, or write in a funny and witty manner, or vary it in even the tiniest way from the other 99.999999% of the same exact tutorials, but nooooooo. Apparently the guy needs to read a good tutorial on that mysterious web thing called "linking".
