This tutorial is going to show you how to install LAMP Server on Manjaro 0.8.10. LAMP Server is the package we need to turn Manjaro into a powerful web server with MariaDB or MySQL as the database backend, PHP, and Apache2 web server. Installing LAMP Server on Manjaro 0.8.10 is pretty easy. Please follow these steps to install LAMP Server on Manjaro 0.8.10.
This is a quick how to tutorial. For more information about LAMP or Manjaro, please visit the official website of those packages or distribution. Other version of Manjaro Linux also can use this tutorial to get LAMP Server up and running.
A. Install Apache2
First, we will install Apache2 on Manjaro 0.8.10. Open Terminal and login as root
su
Paste these commands to install Apache2
pacman -Sy
pacman -S apache
Output:
[root@manjaro fitri]# pacman -S apache resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages...Packages (1) apache-2.4.10-1Total Download Size: 1.26 MiB Total Installed Size: 5.03 MiB:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y :: Retrieving packages ... apache-2.4.10-1-x86_64
Now restart Apache2 server with this command
systemctl restart httpd
Next we will create a test page for the web server. Create a new file /srv/http/index.html.
nano /srv/http/index.html
Paste these lines to the new file:
<html> <title>Install LAMP Server on Manjaro</title> <body> <h2>This is the test page</h2> </body> </html>
Now open your web browser and type: http://localhost. You should see the following page displayed.
B. Install MariaDB
Now we need to install MariaDB as the database backend. Use the following command to install MariaDB on Manjaro
pacman -S mariadb
C. Install PHP and PHP-Apache
Use the following command to install PHP and PHP-Apache package
pacman -S php php-apache
Next, we need to edit httpd.conf file
nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Add the following lines to it
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so AddHandler php5-script php Include conf/extra/php5_module.conf LoadModule mpm_prefork_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so
Now we need to test if php is working correctly
nano /srv/http/info.php
Add the following lines
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Restart apache
systemctl restart httpd
Now open web browser and type http://localhost/info.php
OK Now you have LAMP Server up and running on Manjaro Linux. Enjoy
Before the command:
systemctl restart httpd
I had to run the command:
systemctl enable httpd
Otherwise I got trouble (errors)
