GNU/Linux LAMP Stack Installing LAMP on Arch Linux

Example

With this line we will install all the necessary packages in one step, and the last update:

pacman -Syu apache php php-apache mariadb

---

HTTP

Edit

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Change ServerAdmin [email protected] as you need.

The folder of the WEB Pages by default is ServerRoot "/etc/httpd". Directory must be set to the same folder, so change the line

<Directory "/etc/httpd">

This folder must have read and execution access, so

chmod o+x /etc/httpd

Change AllowOverride from none (default) to All so .htaccess will works.

Now you need the ~/public_html folder for each user. (to get the root page of each user as http://localhost/~yourusername/. Unremark this line:

Include conf/extra/httpd-userdir.conf

Now as root you need to create the ~/public_html for each user and change the access to (755) of each one.

chmod 755 /home
chmod 755 /home/username
chmod 755 /home/username/public_html

You can comment out this line if you want to use SSL:

LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

If you need to use virtual domains, uncomment the line:

Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

and in /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf you must to add all the virtual domains. (plus into /etc/hosts if you want to test those virtuals domains)

Edit /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-default.conf and change ServerSignature to Off and ServerToken to Prod for hiding critical data

PHP

Edit: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Comment out: LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_event.so

Uncomment: LoadModule mpm_prefork_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so

As last item in the LoadModule list, add LoadModule php7_module modules/libphp7.so

As last item in the include list, add Include conf/extra/php7_module.conf

Edit /etc/php/php.ini

Uncomment extension=mysqli.so and extension=pdo_mysql.so

Change the timezone as you need, for example:

date.timezone = America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires, date.default_latitude = 0.0, date.default_longitude = 0.0

---

MySQL

Run as root:

mysql_install_db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql

Now you have the root of the MySQL Server.

Start MySQL daemon:

systemctl enable mysqld
systemctl start mysqld

At last, run:

sh /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

That all to get a web server ready to be customized as you need.
