]]> Comment on Setting up LAMP on your Ubuntu desktop by Roger Heathcote http://www.fslog.com/2006/12/01/setting-up-lamp-on-your-ubuntu-desktop/#comment-2555 Roger Heathcote Thu, 11 Sep 2008 10:50:13 +0000 http://www.fslog.com/?p=301#comment-2555 Jeez Erik don't give up so easily. I just googled 'install phpmyadmin' and found several easy step by step guides - try this one http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server I guess no-one's made anything like WAMP for linux coz there doesn't sem like there's much more to it than typing: sudo apt-get install php5 mysql-server apache2 phpmyadmin - and then tweaking a few config files. It's publicly accessible servers where you need to get all hardcore about. You should be able to get to PHPmyadmin by browsing to http://localhost/phpmyadmin just like you do on Windows. If you dont get that you either haven't installed or configured it correctly Likewise for web pages to be served up as such you have to put them in your htdocs folder, just like you do with Wamp in Windows. If you don't know where that is search for your apache config file 'httpd.conf' and look in there. If you go to http://localhost you should get a listing of your htdocs folder rather than a 'Failed To Connect' Error. Anyway I'm just about to try this myself and as I suspect you're not the only one who's stumped as to the next step I'll make some notes as I do and write a detailed lead-you-by-the-hand guide on my blog soon at: http://movingtoubuntu.technicalbloke.com Keep your chin up and don't look back, it'll start to seem easier soon :-) Roger.

Gentoo is primarily for the ones who want to tinker th o.s in every way, so a great admin and and a smart programmer can tweak it to be reliable and secure, but on the wrong hands it could be volatile.The key to trouble-free operation is choosing the right tool and right engineer for the right job. I would love to throw the other distros into the ring but i dont want to write about every distro out there, but anywayz maybe i`ll write about those some time later. @fak3r

While I can be done, Gentoo is just so open I'd be afraid it would not stay on track enough for updates and configurations, some extra USE flags and who knows where you'll end up. For my .02 let me throw Debian GNU/Linux into the ring. It's supported by HP/Compaq - you can order a server 'naked' and install either Debian Etch or Lenny on it - on hp.com they even list what's certified to be working on those two choices - but with new versions of the kernel in Lenny, everything has worked that I've tried on the 1U I've deployed at work with Debian.
