Step By Step Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex)LAMP Server Setup
In around 15 minutes, the time it takes to install Ubuntu Server Edition, you can have a LAMP(Linux , Apache, MySQL and PHP) server up and ready to go. This feature, exclusive to Ubuntu
Server Edition, is available at the time of installation.
The LAMP option means you dont have to install and integrate each of the four separate
LAMP components, a process which can take hours and requires someone who is skilled in the
installation and configuration of the individual applications. Instead, you get increased security,
reduced time-to-install, and reduced risk of misconfiguration, all of which results in a lower cost
of ownership.New pre-configured installation options have been added to the Ubuntu Server.Mail Server, Open SSH Server,Samba File Server, Print Server, Tomcat Java Server,Virtual
Machine Host and Database Server options join existing LAMP and DNS options for pre-
configured installations, easing the deployment of common server configurations.

Ubuntu installer has configured our system to get its network settings via DHCP, Now we
will change that to a static IP address for this you need to edit Edit /etc/network/interfaces and
enter your ip address details (in this example setup I will use the IP address 172.19.0.10):
sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
and enter the following save the file and exit
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 172.19.0.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 172.19.0.0broadcast 172.19.0.255
gateway 172.19.0.1
Now you need to restart your network services using the following command
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
You need to setup manually DNS servers in resolv.conf file when you are not using DHCP.
sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf
You need to add look something like this
search domain.com
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

options

First you nee to make sure you have enabled Universe and multiverse repositories in
/etc/apt/sources.list file once you have enable you need to use the following command to installGUI
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
The above command will install GNOME desktop if you want to install KDE desktop use the
following command

2) Install Webmin
Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any
modern web browser , you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more.
Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd, and lets
you manage a system from the console or remotely.Currently There is no Webmin package in
the Ubuntu repositories.This tutorial will explain how to Install Webmin in Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex
You can install webmin for your server web interface to configure
apache2,mysql, FTp servers and many more.Now we will see how to install webmin in Ubuntu8.10

perl libmd5-perl

sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.441_all.deb
This will complete the installation.
Ubuntu in particular dont allow logins by the root user by default. However, the user
created at system installation time can use sudo to switch to root. Webmin will allow any user
who has this sudo capability to login with full root privileges.Now you need to open your web browser and enter the following
https://your-server-ip:10000/
