Linux, Apache, MariaDB (or MySQL) and PHP

These steps work with both Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

I’ve included steps for both MariaDB and MySQL.

sudo apt update -y
sudo apt upgrade -y

sudo apt install apache2 -y

# MariaDB
sudo apt install mariadb-server -y

# MySQL
sudo apt install mysql-server -y

sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql

sudo a2enmod ssl

Other useful modules:

sudo apt install php-gd -y

# Restart Apache
sudo systemctl restart apache2
