How to install LAMP in Void Linux
To install LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL/MariaDB, PHP) on Void Linux, follow these steps below.
NOTE: This has been prepared for ease of use in mind, not security. Please do not use these instructions to setup on a public server environment. Use other proper manuals instead.
Install the things we need:
sudo xbps-install apache php-apache php-intl mariadb phpMyAdmin
To start Apache run these once to enable the services:
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/apache /var/service/apache
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/mysqld /var/service/mysqld
then:
sudo sv start apache
Your Apache www directory is /srv/www/apache
To have the www directory on your home:
ln -s /srv/www/apache ~/www
You will then have a www item on your home directory. You can then save files there without going too deep into the filesystem everytime.
Allow writes in the www directory:
sudo usermod -a -G _apache `whoami`
sudo chmod -R g+w /srv/www/apache
then do a Reboot to update the group assignments.
Make PHP7 work:
PHP7 does not work out of the box. Apache just prints out PHP code in plain text. It needs some changes for it to work:
sudo nano /etc/apache/httpd.conf
then comment:
#LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_event.so
then, uncomment:
LoadModule mpm_prefork_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so
To enable PHP, add these changes below to /etc/apache/httpd.conf:
Place this at the end of the LoadModule list:
LoadModule php7_module /usr/libexec/httpd/modules/libphp7.so
AddHandler php7-script .php
Place this at the end of the Include list:
Include /etc/apache/extra/php7_module.conf
To apply the new changes, run:
sudo sv restart apache
MariaDB fix + phpmyadmin:
sudo nano /etc/php/php.ini
then uncomment:
extension=mysqli
Run sudo nano /etc/apache/extra/phpmyadmin.conf
then put this text in the file:
Alias /phpmyadmin "/usr/share/webapps/phpMyAdmin"
<Directory "/usr/share/webapps/phpMyAdmin">
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Options FollowSymlinks
Require all granted
</Directory>
Add the lines to /etc/apache/httpd.conf:
#... phpMyAdmin configuration
Include /etc/apache/extra/phpmyadmin.conf
Install php-mysql package to make it work smoothly and also restart apache service to apply changes
sudo xbps-install php-mysql
sudo sv restart apache
phpMyAdmin username password problem:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/5908864
Run sudo nano /etc/webapps/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php and add at the end:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPasswordRoot'] = true;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;
You can also add this so that it does not logout so often:
$cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 0;
To apply the changes, run:
sudo sv restart apache mysqld
WordPress issues
WordPress plugins not updating, wants FTP creds
Run sudo nano /etc/apache/httpd.conf
then change User ... and Group ... lines to your username:
User yourusername
Group yourusername
- Void always has a group named the username, so we are replacing both of them with the username
Or even easier, run this command:
sudo sed -i "s/^User\s\(.*\)/User $USER/g" /etc/apache/httpd.conf ; sudo sed -i "s/^Group\s\(.*\)/Group $USER/g" /etc/apache/httpd.conf
Then:
sudo sv restart apache mysqld
An error occurred while updating Akismet Anti-Spam: Download failed. No working transports found
sudo nano /etc/php/php.ini
uncomment (remove ";" before the lines):
extension=curl
extension=openssl
Then restart apache
sudo sv restart apache
