Apache PHP MySQL Ubuntu

If you are a beginner server admin, you may be confused with a lot of steps you need to do in order to set up a new web application, using Apache Httpd, combine with PHP and MySQL.

It's gonna be hard if you just started it, but if you follow these steps you can make your web application run in minutes.

The component we use, i don't think there's gonna be much different if you are using a slightly different version.
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Apache Httpd Server 2.4
- PHP 7.2
- MySQL 5.7

1. Login using SSH access
2. Preferably create new user with sudo privileges
3. Login SSH using those sudo user
4. Get the update from Ubuntu repo
sudo apt update

5. Install the update
sudo apt full-upgrade

If a reboot is required, then just reboot
6. Install Apache
sudo apt install apache2

7.Adjusting Firewall,
Lets just open port 22 for SSH and Port 80 and 443, because your server is gonna be visible to the public, if you expose all the port attacker can easily intrudes into your server and using your resource

sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw allow 22
sudo ufw allow 'Apache Full'

8. Install MySQL
sudo apt install mysql-server
sudo mysql_secure_installation

9. Install PHP
sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php

10. The bridge (MySQL module for PHP) to connect between PHP and MySQL
sudo apt install php7.2-mysql

12. Activate the bridge
sudo phpenmod mysqli

10. Restart Apache
sudo service apache2 restart

11. I believe that's all
If you go to rename the /var/www/html/index.html to index.php and you can test by putting some PHP code with MySQL connection into it.

Now you are ready with your full stack server running Apache web server with PHP and MySQL database connection.

Apache is the free, easy to set up, yet  it's really secure and widely used and heavily maintained web server. It is the perfect full package web server for your need.

PHP is the easiest way you can start developing or if you are beginner want to learning a programming language. Connection to a database like MySQL is so much easier and no need anything then putting the username and password of your MySQL instance.

MySQL and MariaDB password As already mentioned in the title of this blog, this error message sometimes occurred when we are trying to update our root password database, either MySQL or MariaDB, The error says: ERROR 1348 (HY000): Column 'Password' is not updatable This is because if we use this SQL command to update our database root password, and it turn out to be Restricted by MySQL to use update on mysql database. UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('1234') WHERE User='root'; The solutions for MySQL Error1348 So you can not update a user password using Update commands, to update the password, use ALTER commands instead. like the following. ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '1234'; And then you need to do the flush privileges to commit previous queries (that alter command above) into the system, simply do like this. flush privileges; So now you have your root with password 1234. Although it is recommended to...

Spring Boot is a handy tool that simplifies the development of Spring Framework applications by reducing the need for cumbersome configuration. In this tutorial, I'll guide you through creating a Spring Boot application using the Netbeans IDE. While you can certainly create a Spring Boot application in Netbeans manually, it's much easier with a plugin designed for Spring development. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started: 1. Install the Spring Boot Plugin: Open Netbeans and navigate to the Tools menu. Click on "Plugins." Once the Plugins window opens, select the "Available Plugins" tab. Look for the "Nb SpringBoot" plugin, then install and activate it. 2. Create a New Spring Boot Project: After restarting Netbeans IDE, you can create a new project with Spring Boot. Go to File > New Project. Under Categories, select Maven, then choose "Spring Boot Basic." 3. Add Dependencies: With your new project created, open the po...

Spring Kafka - How to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Today, I want to share how to use Kafka. It's quite interesting once you get the hang of it, and I hope my explanation will make it a bit easier for you. So, Kafka is primarily known as an asynchronous messaging queuing system. This means it allows different parts of your application to communicate with each other without waiting for immediate responses. However, there are times when you might need a more immediate reply from another service in your project. Luckily, Kafka can handle this too. Here’s how it works: The client side sends a message to the server side via Kafka. This message includes a special identifier in the Kafka header request, known as KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID, along with a topic where the server should respond. The server, after processing the request, sends a message back to the same topic with the same correlation ID. This way, the client knows that the message is a response to its initial request and can act accordingl...
