How to install Drupal 7 on Ubuntu Part 2:
tasksel lamp
At this point I assume that you already have a Linux system running if you don’t please to do that first(info). For this tutorial I use Ubuntu 11.10 but it will work with newer or older versions of Ubuntu too.
In order to set up our lamp Server I follow the easiest way and i will use tasksel.
First of all you have to install tasksel. Open a terminal and type:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tasksel
Ok now you have installed tasksel and you can access it by typing:
sudo tasksel
A screen like the following will appear :
Navigate with up and down arrow keys and select with spacebar. The mouse is not working here. Go on and select “LAMP Server” then click “ok”. You are almost done. After a while, another screen will appear asking you for a password. This is the password for root user of MySQL. Use something that you can remember because you will need it if you want to have access to MySQL.
Retype your password and then you are done!
Congratulation! Now you have your own LAMP server
Let’s go to the next Part
