Almost Automatic WebServer Installer

(1/1)

Yoshi:
I wanted to install a complete webserver on my laptop, but I'm too lazy to install the stuff myself. So I wrote this little script which installs Apache 2, PHP 5 and MySQL along with phpmyadmin and the links for you.

System Requirements
- A Linux operating system with APT-GET command (aka APT packager)
- Working internet connection
- A terminal

How to use
Place the file anywhere you like, mark it as executable (Right click > Properties > Rights > Allow execution) and run it from a terminal WITH SUDO (you can drag and drop the file in the terminal after you typed "sudo " (no the space is not a typo)). So if you have it in your Downloads folder:


--- Code: ---sudo ~/Downloads/installWebServer.sh
--- End code ---

The installers for MySQL and phpMyAdmin will ask you a few things.

You can also run the installer to update the components installed.

Tested on
- Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon 64-bit as main OS
- Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit in VirtualBox

Try it out, and please report bugs to me :)

CoreISP:
Far as I can see it calls the apt-get commands, might as well do it through the guided package manager.

MrPhil:
How is this an improvement over WAMPP, XAMPP, LAMPP, etc. packages? What does it do differently?

Yes but that's the point, it installs everything for you without having to search for the packages yourself :)

No idea, I just feel like installing the crap myself instead of having it delivered in a package, lmao. This type of configuration is quite faster on my laptop then XAMPP or the others, though.
