Installing The LAMP Stack On A Server

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.
