Install PHP, Apache, MySQL, PhpMyAdmin On Ubuntu

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade (optional)

MySQL
=====
sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client

Apache
=====
sudo apt-get install apache2

PHP
===
sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql

Restart Apache
===========
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

PHPMyAdmin
==========
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

I don’t like to use Apache’s default http folder /var/www so I need to update the apache2.conf file:
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Changing the default location will require me to make sure phpMyAdmin continues to load on http://localhost/phpMyAdmin so at the end of the same file I ll add the virtual host configuration for phpMyAdmin
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

Restart Apache   
===========
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
