How to install and configure LAMP on ubuntu 12.04

Question

Could somebody please tell me how to install and configure LAMP on ubuntu 12.04 ? Is there a package similar to WAMP Server that is all-in-one ? I have tried to install from command line ,PHP,MySQL work but apache gives me this after sudo service apache2 restart * Restarting web server apache2
no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs Action 'start' failed.

And I think probably I did something wrong when installing !

Thank you !

From this tutorial,

Run this commands in Ubuntu Terminal-

sudo apt-get install apache2

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

For Checking-

php -r 'echo "\n\nYour PHP installation is working fine.\n\n\n";'

If u get-

Your PHP installation is working fine.

Then you are done.

To resolve this error, you need to stop other process using this port. In some of cases it is nginx. you can stop it

sudo /etc/init.d/nginx stop

Answer 4

you can install lamp server using Tasksel (Tasksel is a Debian/Ubuntu tool that installs multiple related packages as a co-ordinated “task” onto your system. This program is used during the installation process, but users can also use tasksel at any time)
