Bitnami LAMP Stack 5.6.5-0 =========================== 1. OVERVIEW The Bitnami Project was created to help spread the adoption of freely available, high quality, open source web applications. Bitnami aims to make it easier than ever to discover, download and install Open Source software such as document and content management systems, wikis and blogging software. You can learn more about Bitnami at https://bitnami.com Bitnami LAMP stack is an easy to install and easy to use open source Web Platform. It combines leading open source projects, such as Apache, MySQL and PHP with BitRock's extensive open source expertise to provide a consistent, painless way to deploy LAMP in any Linux environment. You can learn more about Bitnami stacks at https://bitnami.com/stacks/ You can also add applications on top of this stack like WordPress, Drupal, Joomla!, SugarCRM and more. You can download the Bitnami module for any of these applications and install on top of your LAMP installation. That way, all of the Bitnami-packaged applications you want to run will share a single instance of Apache, MySQL and PHP which will save space and improve performance. You can learn more about installing modules at https://wiki.bitnami.com/Infrastructure_Stacks/Bitnami_AMP_Stacks#How_can_I_add_applications_on_top_of_AMP.3f Bitnami LAMP is also available as a Virtual Machine Image or as a Cloud Image. Bitnami Virtual Machine Images are pre-configured and include a minimal installation of Linux and a Bitnami stack. They are available for VMWare and the latest version of VirtualBox. Bitnami Cloud Images allow you to run a Bitnami stack in a cloud computing environment on a pay-as-you-go basis. Bitnami Cloud Images are currently available for Amazon EC2, with planned support for additional cloud environments.

FEATURES - Easy to Install Bitnami stacks are built with one goal in mind: to make it as easy as possible to install open source software. Our installers completely automate the process of installing and configuring all of the software included in each stack, so you can have everything up and running in just a few clicks. - Independent Bitnami stacks are completely self-contained, and therefore do not interfere with any software already installed on your system. For example, you can upgrade your system's MySQL or Apache Tomcat without fear of 'breaking' your Bitnami stack. - Integrated By the time you click the 'finish' button on the installer, the whole stack will be integrated, configured and ready to go. - Relocatable Bitnami stacks can be installed in any directory. This allows you to have multiple instances. 3.

REQUIREMENTS To install Bitnami LAMP stack you will need: - Intel x86 or compatible processor - Minimum of 256 MB RAM - Minimum of 150 MB hard drive space - An x86 Linux operating system - TCP/IP protocol support 5. INSTALLATION The Bitnami LAMP stack is distributed as a binary executable installer. It can be downloaded from: https://bitnami.com/stacks/ The downloaded file will be named something similar to: bitnami-lampstack-5.6.5-0-linux-installer.run on Linux or bitnami-lampstack-5.6.5-0-linux-x64-installer.run on Linux 64 bit. You can install Bitnami LAMP stack in graphical, text and unattended modes. By default the graphical mode will be used. On Linux, you will need to give it executable permissions: chmod 755 bitnami-lampstack-5.6.5-0-linux.run You will be greeted by the 'Welcome' screen. The next step is to select the installation directory. The default installation path will be a folder on your home directory if you are running the installer as a regular user, or /opt/lampstack-5.6.5-0, if you are running the installation as root. If the destination directory does not exist, it will be created as part of the installation. After selecting the installation directory you will be asked for the password to the initial MySQL root and anonymous accounts. This password cannot be empty. The default listening port for Apache is 8080 and for MySQL is 3306. If those ports are already in use by other applications, you will be prompted for alternate ports to use. Remember that if you plan to run both applications as a regular user you should select port numbers above 1024. You are now ready to begin the installation, which will start when you press 'Next'. Once the installation process has been completed, you will see the 'Installation Finished' page. If you receive an error message during installation, please refer to the Troubleshooting section. The rest of this guide assumes that you installed Bitnami LAMP stack in /home/user/lampstack-5.6.5-0 and that you use port 8080 for Apache and 3306 for MySQL. 6. STARTING AND STOPPING BITNAMI LAMP STACK To enter to your application you can point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:8080/ To start/stop/restart application you can use a graphical management tool called 'manager-linux.run'. Double-click on that file or start it from a command line: ./manager-linux.run You can also use the command line ctlscript.sh utility: ./ctlscript.sh (start|stop|restart) ./ctlscript.sh (start|stop|restart) mysql ./ctlscript.sh (start|stop|restart) apache start - start the service(s) stop - stop the service(s) restart - restart or start the service(s) If you selected an alternate port during installation, for example 18080, the URL will look like: http://127.0.0.1:18080/ 7. RUNNING COMMANDS IN A CONSOLE Bitnami console is a script that loads environment variables that need to be present when using many of the command line tools included in the stack, such as mysql, php or openssl. All of the Native Installers for Bitnami Stacks are completely self-contained and run independently of the rest of the software or libraries installed on your system. For this to work, certain environment variables need to be configured properly. Before running any stack command line tool, you should start the "Bitnami console" to setup the environment. For example to check the MySQL or PHP version. On Linux or OS X, you have to start a Terminal and run the following commands into your installation directory: ./use_lampstack php -v mysql -Version On Windows, you can start the Bitnami console from the Start Menu: Start -> Program Files -> Bitnami WAMP Stack -> Use WAMP Stack php -v mysql -Version 8. DIRECTORY STRUCTURE The installation process will create several subfolders under the main installation directory: manager-linux.run: Graphical tool to manage the servers easily ctlscript.sh: Script to manage the servers uninstall: Uninstaller use_lampstack: Script to load the stack environment apache2/: Apache Web server. php/: PHP Scripting Language. mysql/: MySQL Database. common/: common libraries. varnish/: Varnish cache server (disabled by default) sqlite/: SQLite database server licenses/: Licenses of the components included in LAMP stack. frameworks/: PHP frameworks selected during the installation docs/: Documents for creating a custom application apps/ phpMyAdmin/: Management tool for MySQL 9. CREATING AN EXAMPLE In the doc/ folder you can find two examples to start working with Bitnami LAMP stack. Take a look at the docs/README.txt file to know how to create your own PHP application. 10.

This is likely due to an incomplete or corrupt downloaded file" The installer binary is not complete, likely because the file was not downloaded correctly. You will need to download the file and repeat the installation process. # Installer execution error on Linux If you get the following error while trying to run the installer: "Cannot open bitnami-lampstack-5.6.5-0-linux.run: No application suitable for automatic installation is available for handling this kind of file." In some operatings systems you can change permissions with right click properties -> permissions -> execution enable. Or from the command line: $ chmod 755 bitnami-lampstack-5.6.5-0-linux.run 11.
