Step 8: Then install PHP Extension by using the below command

root@debian:~# sudo a2enmod proxy_fcgi setenvif
Considering dependency proxy for proxy_fcgi:
Enabling module proxy.
Enabling module proxy_fcgi.
Module setenvif already enabled
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
  systemctl restart apache2

Step 9: Next, Add FPM support and Restart Apache by using the below command

root@debian:~# sudo a2enconf php8.0-fpm
Enabling conf php8.0-fpm.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
  systemctl reload apache2

Step 10: Now, run the command to remove demo user & database, including to set MySQL root password by using the below command.

root@debian:~# mysql_secure_installation
NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB
      SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE!  PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!
In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user. If you've just installed MariaDB, and
haven't set the root password yet, you should just press enter here.
Enter current password for root (enter for none):
OK, successfully used password, moving on...
Setting the root password or using the unix_socket ensures that nobody
can log into the MariaDB root user without the proper authorisation.
You already have your root account protected, so you can safely answer 'n'.
Switch to unix_socket authentication [Y/n] n
 ... skipping.
You already have your root account protected, so you can safely answer 'n'.
Change the root password? [Y/n] n
 ... skipping.
By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for
them.  This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother.  You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] n
 ... skipping.
Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'.  This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] n
 ... skipping.
By default, MariaDB comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
access.  This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] n
 ... skipping.
Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] n
 ... skipping.
Cleaning up...
All done!  If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
installation should now be secure.
Thanks for using MariaDB!

Step 11: Login to database server by using the below command.

root@debian:~# mysql
Welcome to the MariaDB monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MariaDB connection id is 31
Server version: 10.5.19-MariaDB-0+deb11u2 Debian 11
Copyright (c) 2000, 2018, Oracle, MariaDB Corporation Ab and others.
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.
MariaDB [(none)]>

Step 12: Next create the database by using the below command

MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE clouddb;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.002 sec)

Step 13: Now create the database username and password and grant all privileges and flush the privileges by using the below command

MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE USER 'linuxhelp1'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Linuxc#7';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.011 sec)
MariaDB [(none)]> grant all on clouddb.* to 'linuxhelp1'@'localhost';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.002 sec)
MariaDB [(none)]> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.004 sec)

Step 14: Exit from the database.

MariaDB [(none)]> exit
Bye
