How to setup LAMP (Linux, Apache, mySql, PHP) and phpMyAdmin in Fedora Core 15

NOTE: This is a basic guide to setup LAMP on Localhost

We will start off by installing mySql Server first

sudo yum install mysql-server

Now we will need to start the mySql Server

sudo service mysqld start

We set a password for mySql

sudo mysqladmin -u root password ENTER_YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE

The next step will be to install phpMyAdmin, when we install phpMyAdmin, the yum installer automatically gets all dependencies and then installs Apache and PHPtogether with phpMyAdmin

sudo yum install phpmyadmin

All needed software packages are installed and now we will need to restart Apacheand mySql

Restart mySql

sudo service mysqld restart

Restart Apache

sudo service httpd restart

The above two command will need to be run everytime the PC reboots in order to start the Apache and mySql services to automatically start these services when the PC reboots enter the commands below as root

sudo chkconfig --add httpd
 
sudo chkconfig httpd on
 
sudo chkconfig --add mysqld
 
sudo chkconfig mysqld on

That’s all for a basic LAMP install
