kamarul kawnayeen

Preface
This is the second part of deploying playframewok in EC2 tutorial series. In the
previous part, I’ve showed how to setup a virtual server on AWS. I setup ubuntu
14.04 LTS there. In this part I’m going to complete setting up LAMP stack.
Considering LAMP, I will use :-
➢ Apache as web server
➢ MySQL as database
➢ PHP as programming language

First, we are going to configure corresponding security
group. The security group acts as a firewall allowing you to
choose which protocols and ports are open to computers
over the internet.
Configuring Security Group

select your instance & check the security group associated with it

click “Security Groups” from left panel and select the
one associated with your instance

Click on Inbound and then Click Edit

Add this 4 rules.
The Custom TCP
Rule (port 9000)
will be needed for
play application

Connect with your remote server using terminal & update your ubuntu
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Install apache using the following command :
sudo apt-get install apache2

Now, we have to enable .htaccess file. To do so we have to edit the “000-
default.conf” file at “/etc/apache2/sites-available/” directory
So, move to the sites-available directory and execute the following command
sudo nano 000-default.conf

look for /var/www/html directory and make sure it contains AllowOverride
All
save & exit the nano editor via CTRL-X, “y” and Enter

Enable the rewrite module in Apache :
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Install PHP 5
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
Restart Apache
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Type the ip address of your instance & check
whether apache is running

Allow ubuntu user to work with the /var/www/html directory:
sudo adduser ubuntu www-data
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html
sudo chmod -R g+rw /var/www/html

Now we are going to test php installation. Go to the /var/www/html directory
and create a file name phptest.php
cd /var/www/html
sudo vi phptest.php

hit i key to enter insert mode and just call the phpinfo() function
hit esc to exit insert mode and type :wq to save and quit vi editor

type
ip address of your
instance/html/phptest.
php
at your browser to test
php

try
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql

sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

select yes while asking for configuring database for phpmyadmin

Enter password of database’s administrative user and hit Ok

Enter password for phpmyadmin (optional)

Now we have to link phpmyadmin at /var/www/html directory
sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/html

check out phpmyadmin
at your browser
