Install and setting up local webserver
Here is how to install and setting up webserver in Ubuntu (or its derivatives ie. Mint, Sabily, Blankon and so on):- sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 php5-xmlrpc php5-mysql php5-gd php5-cli php5-curl php5-common php5-mcrypt
- you could add phpmyadmin at the end of way #1 to install phpmyadmin from repository
- And done..
Now, let setting it up :D
First, we will enable mod_rewrite :
- sudo a2enmod rewrite
Second, still using Terminal, do the following steps :
- sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
- Change AllowOverride None -> AllowOverride All
- Save it
- Restart Apache by typing : sudo service apache2 restart
Third, installing phpmyadmin
- Get the installation file in phpmyadmin's Download Page
- Extract inside /var/www
- By reading the documentation should be enough. But, here I give you my config.inc.php file
<?php
/*
* Generated configuration file
* Generated by: phpMyAdmin 3.4.0 setup script
* Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2011 02:11:42 +0700
*/
/* Servers configuration */
$i = 0;
/* Server: localhost [1] */
$i++;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['nopassword'] = true;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['CountTables'] = true;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] = 'phpmyadmin';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['bookmarktable'] = 'pma_bookmark';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] = 'pma_relation';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info'] = 'pma_table_info';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_info'] = 'pma_column_info';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['history'] = 'pma_history';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords'] = 'pma_table_coords';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages'] = 'pma_pdf_pages';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['designer_coords'] = 'pma_designer_coords';
/* End of servers configuration */
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = '4e496f5db8be03.04479396';
$cfg['DefaultLang'] = 'en';
$cfg['ServerDefault'] = 1;
$cfg['UploadDir'] = '';
$cfg['SaveDir'] = '';

You could also add phpmyadmin to install phpmyadmin from the repository. Or just type sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin. I've edited the post above
