LAMPSTACK IMPLEMENTATION

It seems like there might be a slight confusion in the term "LAMBSTACK." Generally, the more common
term is LAMP stack, which stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP/Python/Perl. This stack represents
a set of open-source software that developers often use to build and deploy web applications.

Let's break down the LAMP stack components:

1. Linux: This is the operating system (OS) of the server. In the context of LAMP, Linux is often chosen for
its flexibility, stability, security, and open-source nature. Various distributions (distros) of Linux can be
used, such as Ubuntu, CentOS, or Amazon Linux.

2. Apache: Apache HTTP Server is a widely-used open-source web server software. It handles the
request-response cycle for web pages and serves as the foundation for deploying web applications.

3. MySQL: MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS) used to store and manage the
application's data. It is known for its speed, reliability, and ease of use. In some variations, MariaDB, a
fork of MySQL, is also used.

4. PHP/Python/Perl: These are scripting languages used for server-side programming. In the LAMP
stack, PHP is commonly used, but developers may also choose Python or Perl based on their preferences
and project requirements. These languages enable dynamic content generation and interaction with the
MySQL database.

Step 1: Sign in to AWS Console

1. Open AWS Console: Using your web browser, go to the AWS Management Console.

2. Sign In: Log in with your AWS account credentials. If you don't have an AWS account, you'll need
to create one.

Step 2: Launch an EC2 Instance with Amazon Linux 2

1. Access EC2 Dashboard: In the AWS Management Console, navigate to the "EC2" service.

2. Launch Instance: Click on "Launch Instance" to begin the process of creating a virtual server
(EC2 instance).

3. Choose Amazon Linux 2 AMI: Select "Amazon Linux 2 AMI" as the base image for your instance.

4. Select Instance Type: Choose an instance type based on your requirements. For the free tier,
you can select t2.micro.

5. Configure Instance Details: Set options like the number of instances, network settings, and IAM
roles.

6. Add Storage: Specify the size and type of storage for your instance.

7. Add Tags: Add tags to help identify your instance.


8. Configure Security Group: Set up security group rules to allow traffic to your instance. Open
ports 22 (SSH), 80 (HTTP), and 443 (HTTPS).

9. Review and Launch: Confirm your settings and click "Launch."

Step 3: Connect to your EC2 Instance

1. Select Instance: In the EC2 dashboard, select your newly created instance.

2. Connect: Click on "Connect" to view connection instructions.

3. Use SSH Client: Open a terminal on your local machine and use the provided SSH command to
connect to your instance.

Step 4: Update and Install Software on the EC2 Instance

1. Update Package List: To install Apache, first, we need to update the package lists for upgrades
and new installations. This will ensure that we have the latest version of Apache available. We
also need to update the firewall to allow traffic to the Apache server.

Run sudo apt update -y to update the package list on your Amazon Linux instance.

2. Install Apache: Execute sudo apt install apache2 -y to install the Apache web server.

3. Verify status of Apache: Run sudo systemctl status apache2

4. Enable Apache on Boot: curl http://127.0.0.1:80

5. Install MySQL: Install the MariaDB (a MySQL fork) server with sudo yum install mariadb-server -
y.

6. Start MySQL: Begin the MySQL service with sudo service mariadb start.

7. Secure MySQL Installation: Run sudo mysql_secure_installation to set a root password and
secure the MySQL installation.

8. Install PHP: Install PHP and the MySQL extension with sudo yum install php php-mysql -y.

9. Restart Apache: Restart Apache to apply PHP changes with sudo service httpd restart.

Step 5: Create a PHP Test File

1. Create PHP File: Use a text editor like nano to create a PHP file in the Apache document root:
sudo nano /var/www/html/info.php.

2. Add PHP Code: Inside the file, add <?php phpinfo(); ?> to display PHP information.

3. Save and Exit: Save the file and exit the text editor.
Step 6: Set Up a MySQL Database and User

1. Access MySQL: Connect to MySQL with sudo mysql -u root -p and enter the root password.

2. Create Database: Execute CREATE DATABASE yourdbname; to create a MySQL database.

3. Create User: Create a MySQL user with CREATE USER 'yourusername'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED
BY 'yourpassword';.

4. Grant Privileges: Grant privileges to the user with GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON yourdbname.*
TO 'yourusername'@'localhost';.

5. Flush Privileges: Ensure changes take effect with FLUSH PRIVILEGES;.

6. Exit MySQL: Type EXIT; to leave the MySQL shell.

Step 7: Test Your LAMP Stack

1. Open Browser: In your web browser, enter your instance's public IP or DNS.

2. Default Apache Page: You should see the default Apache page, indicating that the web server is
running.

3. PHP Test: Go to http://your-instance-ip/info.php to test PHP. If successful, you'll see a page


with PHP information.
