LAMP Stack refers to the following software tools all running on the same server together:

L - Linux

A - Apache (replaceable with Nginx)

M - MySQL or MariaDB (replaceable with other database tools)

P - PHP or Python

For this page, Linux, Apache, MariaDB, and PHP will be used.


Prerequisites

Ensure that you have created, configured, and secured a remote server at least at a basic level and that all the software packages installed are up to date. A Wiki page to do so can be found here.


Apache

Installing Apache

Install Apache using the command below: 

sudo dnf install httpd

Enable the Apache service, httpd.service, to start at boot: 

sudo systemctl start httpd.service
sudo systemctl enable httpd.service

Check that the service has been started and is enabled: 

sudo systemctl status httpd.service

Configuring Apache

Create an Apache config file, httpd-mpm.conf, using the template provided below. These are settings typical for use on a smaller cloud server running on something like Linode, DigitalOcean, AWS, or Azure: 

nano httpd-mpm.conf

Inside httpd-mpm.conf, place the following -- adjust as needed for use-case: 

KeepAlive Off

<IfModule prefork.c>
    StartServers        4
    MinSpareServers     20
    MaxSpareServers     40
    MaxClients          200
    MaxRequestsPerChild 4500
</IfModule>

MariaDB

PHP
