Ubuntu LAMP Server Project Outline December 17, 2008

DESCRIPTION
This is a project that I have started because I was in need of a LAMP server. The features that I needed were not available pre-configured in other LAMP servers. I decided to make an easily updated and adaptable server for VMware (also called a Virtual Machine or Appliance).

Creating New User’s:

To Fix eth0:

To fix eth0 run the script: /usr/local/bin/removeuser.sh as sudo. This will fix eth0 if it has stopped working after you move the VM to a new directory or such

Shares:

To get to the share directory of the user, go to \\jeos-lamp\ and login as the user

Directories:

• user1′s home directory: /home/user1
• user1′s Apache/Web directory: /home/user1/public_html

Databases:

Currently there aren’t any databases on the server. Use phpMyAdmin to create the databases.

• phpMyAdmin Location: http://jeos-lamp/phpmyadmin

When creating users in phpMyAdmin make sure to:

• Set the location to localhost
• select “Grant all privileges on wildcard name (username\_%)”
