wow.

Instead of installing the lamp components individually, how about just going to a terminal window and typing:

"sudo apt-get install lamp-server^"

This will install all of the components you need in one shot.

Interesting... Actually, I'd never done it that way (nor heard of it being done in that manner) and didn't even think to look for a complete LAMP package. Certainly would save a bit of time and effort with Ubuntu. Thanks!

Not so sure every distribution has full LAMP packaging such as this, however, and in that event it is useful to know what packages and modules are required for a working install.

Thanks again!

Kristin,
this does apply only to Ubuntu. The server team has tried to make things easier, especially where there is a lot of common need.

Ubuntu Server - LAMP for human beings.
