How to Config LAMP STACK on Ubuntu Server – Part 2

I believe that you now installed your Ubuntu Server, lets start install LAMP stack and configure MySQL database with Apache Web Server.

sudo apt-get update [Downloads the package lists from the repositories]
sudo apt-get upgrade [Fetch new versions of packages and upgrades]

sudo apt-get install tasksel
[To install required task feature on Linux system] 

Select LAMP Server, Choose space button to select.

Once LAMP Stack installed Verify Apache is Running
[sudo service apache2 status]

It means your Apache web server is running properly.
Now lets start to install WordPress.
cd / [TO go back to direcoty]
ls   [To see the list of folders in directory]
we are in tmp directory by typing this command cd /tmp

[wget https://wordpress.org/latest.zip]
Download wordpress package to tmp folder and then unzip 
to unzip install this package first using this command
[sudo apt-get install unzip]

Now you can find in tmp folder latest.zip and unzip it.

Now copy WordPress folder to /var/www/html folder
sudo cp -r wordpress /var/www/html/
cd /var/www/html
ls
Verify the WordPress folder in /var/www/html directory

Now configure database for your server.

sudo mysql
create database myfirstdb;
create user 'asath'@'localhost' identified by 'yourpass';
grant all privileges on myfirstdb.* to 'asath'@'localhost' identified by 'yourpass';

flush privileges;
exit

Now you have created database and lets configure PHP and WordPress.

Navigate to WordPress directory
cd /var/www/html/wordpress/

Now copy wp-config-sample.php file with a name wp-config.php
sudo cp wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php

Now edit wp-config.php file on editor and change DB_NAME,DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD
which we created earlier.
sudo nano wp-config.php

Now move to apache2 directory
cd /etc/apache2/
ls

sudo nan000-default.conf
(change Document Root )
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/wordpress

After edit back to one level on directory by [cd ..] and then
cd sites-enabled/

Now make sure your default page conf is enabled to reach your site.
once enabled restart your apache2 service and check the status.

Once you done, enter IP address of your server from another device,
It should reach to configure the WordPress.

Once you enter your information you can start to create page and change theme and create your post and blog.

Congratulations !!! You Create your first website.
