Install LAMP

Source

1

sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
It’s important to remember the caret (^) at the end of the command.
Thought I’d get that out the way for all the hit and runners looking for the command!

WARNING!

The use of ^ in the package name suggests that this is a ‘meta-package’. Meaning a number of programs that are usually installed together.
If you try to remove this ‘meta-package’ you could remove a lot of programs you are not expecting to… SSH being one of them!
So please do install your lamp server using these instructions, but do not remove it using lamp-server^
Let’s proceed……

What is LAMP Server

LAMP Server is a collection of open source software used to create a web server. The collection consists of:
  • Linux – the operating system
  • Apache server – the server
  • MySQL – the database system
  • PHP – the programming language
Clearly named after the initials of its components, these four applications are all lengthy subjects in their own right. So I won’t go much further on them, but if you have any questions post a comment and I’ll always try help.

Installing Lamp Server components individually

Installing Linux

Installing Linux unfortunately isn’t as simple as one command. But installing Ubuntu is as simple as installing any other operating system. The latest installation .iso can be downloaded here. Ubuntu isn’t the only version of Linux, a list of major distributions can be found at distrowatch.

Installing Apache Server

Apache Server can be installed in one line:
You can test the installation by visiting http://localhost/ in a browser, you should see a massage saying “It works!“.

Installing MySQL Server

Installing MySQL is as simple as another one line in the terminal:
This installs:
  • MySQL Server – to store/serve your database
  • MySQL Client – a client to access your MySQL server
Be sure to pay attention during the install. You will be asked to create a password for the MySQL root user. You can then access the server in the terminal by typing/copying:
Obviously replace ‘password‘ with the password you just created (leave the ‘-u‘ and ‘-p‘ before your username and password). You should now be logged in and be displaying ‘mysql>‘ on your command line ready for your SQL queries!

Installing PHP

PHP requires 3 packages to be installed, again its only one line:
You must restart your Apache server now for the changes to take effect:
To test this, open gedit and type/copy:
Save the file as info.php. Now navigate to this file in your web browser by visiting http://localhost/info.php, you should see a page displaying your PHP version and the rest of your PHP installation information.

Done!

You have now installed a LAMP server on Ubuntu! You are now ready to serve web-apps with server side scripting and MySQL database access. There are other features to configure that we may go into in later articles, but for now drop me a comment if you have any questions or need any help.

Fix Audio Windows on MAC

  [GUIDE]  DSDT override  eGPU error 12 fix (Windows only)   here   ◄  Mac owners  please work through this thread to solve error 12 before doing a  DSDT override here   ◄  pre-compiled  DSDT overrides   - load or use as reference when making your own   Introduction   A Windows system's DSDT table root bridge definition (ACPI PNP0A08 or PNP0A03) is usually confined to a reserved 32-bit space (under 4GB) budgetted to be large enough to host the notebook's PCIe devices. A watermark TOLUD value is then set and locked in the system firmware. Windows OS honors the root bridge definition and will allocate PCIe devices within it. macOS ignores the root bridge constraints as too does Linux when booted with the 'pci=noCRS' parameter. Neither of those OS require a  DSDT override  and can allocate freely in the huge 64-bit PCIe address space.   When retrofitting a eGPU, an   error 12 (This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use)  can occur  against an eGPU in Win

Using real data types in VHDL

Using real data types in VHDL    Apart from the standard types like integer and std_logic_vector's VHDL also offer  real  data types. But a real data type has a big disadvantage. It is not synthesis-able. It can be used only for simulation purposes. This disadvantage limits its use to a large extend, but there are plenty of projects where we look only for simulation results.   Before starting the coding part of a VHDL project,one has to decide whether the project to be implemented on a real FPGA or just a computer simulation is required. If it has to be ran on FPGA, then forget about the real package and use only synthesis-able data types like std_logic,integer etc... Otherwise you can reduce the time and complexity of your project by using real data types. The real data type is defined in the library called  MATH_REAL . So you have to include the following line before the entity declaration in the code: use ieee.math_real.all; The math_real package also offers some elemen
