Web server under Ubuntu: the missing packages to install
- You open it in Ubuntu in a Terminal. For example, on the Dash home panel on the left top of the icon. You are looking for simply "Terminal". You should be logged in as a user with Admin Rights.
- Now install the packages you need for a web server. Type in: "sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-mysql mysql-server libnet-ssleay-perl libauten-pam-perl libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions" without the quotation marks. You have to confirm the sudo command with your password.
- Now Ubuntu will install the mentioned packages. In between, asks the mySQL Installation to set a password for the Server. You are awarded for the security of, even if the Server is maybe operated only in the home network.
- To manage your web server, you can install a graphical interface like Webmin. Go in the Browser to Webmin and download the Debian-Installer. (Alternatively, go Froxlor or ISPConfig.)
- When the Download is complete, navigate in your Terminal to the folder where the downloaded Webmin package. You install it with "sudo dpkg-i webmin[...].deb", where you "webmin[...].deb" with the name of your downloaded package, you must replace it.
- Now you are almost done. You have to test whether the installed services are working. In the Browser, go to the address "https://localhost:10000" for Webmin and on "http://localhost" for the Apache Server. The Apache Server logs on to a successful Installation with "It works!". On Webmin, you can login with your Ubuntu Account.
- To put PHP and HTML pages onto your Server, you will need to obtain the necessary rights for the folder "/var/www". So you go back to the Terminal and navigate to the folder "/var". There you can set the Read and write permissions with "chmod": "sudo chmod 777 www".
- You can now add any kind of HTML and PHP pages under "/var/www" and your Server "http://localhost:10000" to manage.
