LAMP Stack Installation Script

Overview

This Bash script automates the installation of a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL/MariaDB, PHP) stack along with additional tools like FFmpeg, Node.js, and Composer. It is designed for Ubuntu-based systems and simplifies the setup process for web development environments.

Features

• System Update: Automatically updates the system packages.
• Apache Installation: Installs and configures the Apache web server.
• MariaDB Installation: Installs MariaDB and prompts for secure installation.
• PHP Installation: Allows the choice between PHP 7.4 and PHP 8.3 and installs core and optional PHP extensions.
• FFmpeg Installation: Installs FFmpeg for multimedia processing.
• Node.js Installation: Installs Node.js version 20.
• Composer Installation: Installs Composer for PHP dependency management.
• Default Web Page: Sets up a default web page for the server.
• Apache Configuration: Configures Apache to serve the default page.

Prerequisites

• A system running Ubuntu or a compatible Debian-based distribution.
• Sudo privileges to install packages and modify system configurations.

Usage

1. Clone the Repository:

   apt update
   apt install git
   apt install sudo
   git clone https://github.com/saifulcoder/vps-setup.git
   cd vps-setup

2. Make the Script Executable:

   chmod +x install_lamp.sh

3. Run the Script:

   ./install_lamp.sh

4. Post-Installation: After the script completes, run the following command to secure your MariaDB installation:

   sudo mysql_secure_installation

Script Breakdown

• Error Handling: The script includes a function to handle errors gracefully.
• Package Installation: Uses apt to install necessary packages and handle dependencies.
• PHP Extensions: Installs both core and optional PHP extensions based on availability.
• Apache Configuration: Sets up a virtual host for serving web content.

Important Notes

• Ensure your system is connected to the internet during the installation process.
• Some optional PHP extensions may not be available depending on your system's repositories.
• The script will prompt you to run mysql_secure_installation manually to secure your MariaDB installation.

Verification

After installation, you can verify the installations by checking the versions of the installed software:

apache2 -v
mysql --version
php -v
node -v
npm -v
composer -V

Adding a New Domain

After installing the LAMP stack, you can add a new domain to your server by following these steps:

chmod +x vhost.sh

Run the Script: Execute the script as root or with sudo: bash

sudo ./vhost.sh

Enter Domain Name: When prompted, enter the domain name you want to add (e.g., example.com). Choose Protocol: Select between http or https according to your needs. Done: After the script finishes running, your new domain will be added to the Apache configuration. If you chose HTTPS, make sure to configure the SSL certificate correctly.
