LAMP on Fedora

 

 

This article shows you how to install and configure the Apache web server, PHP and MySQL on Fedora.

 

[pratajo@amd64 ~]$ su -

 (enter the root password)

[root@amd64 ~]$ dnf install php php-cli php-fpm php-mysqlnd php-zip php-devel php-gd php-mcrypt php-mbstring php-curl php-xml php-pear php-bcmath php-json

[root@amd64 ~]$ systemctl enable httpd.service

[root@amd64 ~]$ systemctl start httpd.service

 

To verify the correct functioning of the HTTP server, execute the command

 

[root@amd64 ~]$ systemctl status httpd.service

 

or open the link http://localhost/

 

We tested PHP by creating a document in /var/www/html

 

[root@amd64 ~]$ nano /var/www/html/info.php

 

and using the phpinfo() function

 

 

  <?php
    phpinfo();
  ?>

 

 

Open the link http://localhost/info.php

 

Next, we will install and configure the MySQL database.

 

The MariaDB and MySQL installation packages generate conflicts between them. To use MySQL we have to remove the other database.

 

[root@amd64 ~]$ dnf remove mariadb

[root@amd64 ~]$ dnf install https://repo.mysql.com//mysql80-community-release-fc31-1.noarch.rpm

[root@amd64 ~]$ dnf install mysql-community-server

[root@amd64 ~]$ systemctl start mysqld

[root@amd64 ~]$ systemctl enable mysqld

 

For security reasons, MySQL generates a temporary root password. Take note of it

 

[root@amd64 ~]$ grep 'temporary password' /var/log/mysqld.log

 

and run the security script before first use.

 

[root@amd64 ~]$ mysql_secure_installation

 

Answer the following questions:

 

  • Enter password for user root: The pwd noted. Create a new one
  • Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Press Y
  • Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] Press Y
  • Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] Press Y
  • Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] Press Y

 

We test the status of the database service with

 

[root@amd64 ~]$ systemctl status mysqld

 

If you want to remove MySQL, use the following command:

 

[root@amd64 ~]$ rpm -e --nodeps mysql-community-libs mysql-community-common mysql-community-server

 

To install MySQL WorkBench run the following command:

 

[root@amd64 ~]$ dnf install mysql-workbench-community
