=== Install the LAMP Stack ===
* [[WebServer - Mint 19.3{{!}}If you are running Mint 19.3]]
* If you are running a Debian based Linux
** (Debian itself, LMDE, SparkyLinux, others...)
** You'll need to install:
*** [[MySQL]]
*** & Possibly, [[Fixing vim{{!}}vim]]

==== Install the packages ====

*<code>sudo apt install apache2 libapache2-mod-php php-xml php-mbstring php-apcu php-intl imagemagick inkscape php-gd php-cli php-cgi php mysql-server mysql-client php-mysql</code>
**Say Yes to Continue
**<u>Configuring mysql-community-server</u> (Doesn't happen on Mint but DOES happen on LMDE)
***Pick a good '''root''' password...
***I tend to select '''Use Legacy Authentication Method''' because '''Use Strong Password Encryption''' is annoying as hell. (Your choice here...)

==== Configure MySQL ====

*<code>sudo mysql_secure_installation</code>
**<u>Would you like to setup VALIDATE PASSWORD component?</u>
***I select No (because I'd rather manage my own password policies, thanks...)
**'''''root password'''''
***<u>Please set the password for root here.</u>
****Pick a good '''root''' password...
**or... (depends on install...)
***<u>Using existing password for root.</u>
****Say No
**<u>Remove anonymous users?</u>
***Duh... Yes
**<u>Disallow root login remotely?</u>
***Your choice, but I tend to say No.
**<u>Remove test database and access to it?</u>
***Duh... Yes again.
**<u>Reload privilege tables now?</u>
***Yes
*([[MySQL - Initial Configuration{{!}}Extra Instructions if you've never configured MySQL before]])

==== & Test it ====

*<code>sudo vi /var/www/html/info.php</code>
 <!--?php  phpinfo();
       ?-->
Browse to http://ServerAddress/ & you should see the default page.

Browse to [http://ServerAddress/ http://ServerAddress/info.php] & you should see a whole bunch of info about your PHP subsystem.

'''Notice that those 2 addresses are HTTP, and NOT HTTPS. This is important and Chrome will mess with you.'''

==== Set up at least one user in mysql ====

*<code>sudo mysql -u root -p</code>
 CREATE USER 'someone'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
 FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
 EXIT;
('''Hint:''' This'd be a good time to create yourself as that user with your non-admin password of choice...)
