LAMP Server on AWS

Introduction:

In this task, I have to deploy a LAMP(Linux Apache MySQL PHP) server on AWS. I am using Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS. I am going to

Launch a New AWS EC2 Instance
Connect to the Instance using SSH
Install Apache2 and verify the installation
Install MySQL
Install PHP and verify the installation

Launching AWS EC2 Instance

I opened the AWS Management console and started the EC2 Launch. I chose the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Following that, I chose the t2.micro type which is Free Tier eligible
After that , Left the Configure Instance, Add Storage, Add Tags as default
In the Configure Security Group Section, I added HTTP protocol to verify the progress of the installation.
After Review Process, I created and downloaded the keypair to access the EC2 instance

Connecting to the Instance:

Now, the EC2 instance is running and I am connecting to the instance using the command

ssh -i "test-lamp-stack.pem" ubuntu@ec2-65-2-128-162.ap-south-1.compute.amazonaws.com

Install Apache2

I updated and upgraded the instance.
Now, its time to install the apache2 using the command
```
sudo apt-get install apache2
```
Verified the installation by using the Public IP address [http://65.2.128.162/]

Install MySQL

Installed MySQL using the command
```
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
```
To strength the Database, I am using the command
```
sudo mysql_secure_installation
```
To verify the installation of MySQL, I used the command:
```
sudo mysql -u root -p
```

Install PHP

To install the PHP and its common extensions, I used the command:

sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-curl php-gd php-json php-zip

I restarted the apache using the command:
```
sudo service apache2 restart
```
Then verified the installation using the command:
```
php -v
```

Clearing Up

After the Verification of all the installations, I successfully installed Apache, MySQL and PHP on a Linux Server.
I ended up the session in the PowerShell and closed the Powershell
After that, terminated the instance in the Management Console.

Conclusion

I did these things more than 10 times, so I just went next, next, next... If you are reading this, make sure that every command works well and fine and then move on to the next command.
