Here’s how to install a LAMP server on the latest Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
Install Apache.
apt install apache2
systemctl status apache2
systemctl is-enabled apache2 |
apt install apache2 systemctl status apache2 systemctl is-enabled apache2
Install MariaDB.
apt install mariadb-server mariadb-client
systemctl status mariadb
systemctl is-enabled mariadb
mysql_secure_installation |
apt install mariadb-server mariadb-client systemctl status mariadb systemctl is-enabled mariadb mysql_secure_installation
Install PHP.
apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql
systemctl restart apache2 |
apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql systemctl restart apache2
Enable ssl and mod_rewrite.
a2enmod ssl a2enmod rewrite systemctl restart apache2 |
a2enmod ssl a2enmod rewrite systemctl restart apache2
Another issue when installing Laravel on the Ubuntu server is to make sure you have the mod_rewrite module enabled. You can turn it on by invoking the following command.
sudo a2enmod rewrite sudo service apache2 reload |
sudo a2enmod rewrite sudo service apache2 reload
Once you’ve enabled mod_rewrite, you need to restart Apache. That should fix any of the route issues that you may have. If mod_rewrite is disabled, you usually get 404 errors or file not found. The Laravel routes simply doesn’t work.
