The LAMP stack is a popular framework for web application development that consists of Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to install the LAMP stack on a Debian 11 server.

Step 1: Update Your System

First, ensure your system is up to date:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Step 2: Install Apache

Install the Apache web server:

sudo apt install apache2 -y

Enable and start the Apache service:

sudo systemctl enable apache2
sudo systemctl start apache2

Step 3: Install MySQL

Next, install MySQL server:

sudo apt install mysql-server -y

Secure your MySQL installation:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Step 4: Install PHP

Now, install PHP along with the required modules:

sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql -y

Step 5: Test PHP Processing

Create a PHP info file to test if PHP is working correctly:

echo <?php phpinfo(); ?> | sudo tee /var/www/html/info.php

Now, open your web browser and navigate to http://your_server_ip/info.php. You should see the PHP info page.

Step 6: Restart Apache

Restart Apache to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart apache2
