Introduction
A "LAMP" stack is a bundle of free software commonly installed together to make a server capable of hosting dynamic websites and web apps built with PHP. LAMP stands for Linux (the operating system), Apache (the web server), MySQL (the database), and PHP (the scripting language).
In this guide, we'll help you set up a LAMP stack on a server running Ubuntu 22.04.
What You'll Need Before Starting
Before we start, make sure you have an Ubuntu 22.04 server set up. You'll also need a user account with sudo privileges and a basic firewall. If you haven't done this yet, you can follow our beginner-friendly guide on setting up your Ubuntu 22.04 server.
Step 1: Setting Up Apache and Firewall
Apache is a widely used web server that's trusted by many website owners. It's well-supported and has been around for a long time, making it a solid choice for hosting your website.
Let's begin by updating the list of available software packages. If you're using the sudo command for the first time during this session, you'll be asked to enter your password to confirm that you have permission to install software on your system.
