How to Install LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) on Ubuntu

This guide will teach you how to install LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) on Ubuntu the fastest and easiest way possible.

Replace all the text with this in the dir.conf file with this: When you’re done, press CTRL + X and then press “y” to save it and then press ENTER to confirm the file name. The prompt may be different so pay attention to the instructions.
