To install LAMP Stack on Parrot 3.9

LAMP stack is a group of open source software that is typically installed together to enable a server to host dynamic websites and web apps. This term is actually an acronym which represents the Linux operating system, with the Apache web server. The site data is stored in a MySQL database, and dynamic content is processed by PHP. It is really simple to install the LAMP stack on Parrot OS and this article covers the ground on the same process.

Installing LAMP Stack

Since Parrot OS is a Linux distro, you shall proceed by installing Apache, MariaDB and PHP by running the following command.

[root@parrot][/home/user/Desktop]
#apt-get install apache2 mariadb-server php7.0 php7.0-cli php7.0-fpm php7.0-mbstring php7.0-mysql php7.0-gd php7.0-mcrypt

Once the installation is done, you shall start and enable the Apache service by making use of the following command.

[root@parrot][/home/user/Desktop]
#systemctl start apache2
[root@parrot]?[/home/user/Desktop]
#systemctl enable apache2

insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (0 1 2 3 4 5 6) of script `apache2'  overrides LSB defaults (0 1 6).

Once the command is enabled, you shall check the status of it.

[root@parrot]?[/home/user/Desktop]
#systemctl status apache2

And then, do the same for the MariaDB service by making use of the following command.

[root@parrot]?[/home/user/Desktop]
#systemctl start mariadb
[root@parrot]?[/home/user/Desktop]
#systemctl enable mariadb

And finally check the status of it by running the following command.

[root@parrot]?[/home/user/Desktop]
#systemctl status mariadb

And once it is completed, you can check the version of the PHP which you have just installed.

[root@parrot]?[/var/www/html]
#php -v
PHP 7.0.22-3 (cli) (built: Aug 23 2017 05:51:41) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2017 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2017 Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v7.0.22-3, Copyright (c) 1999-2017, by Zend Technologies

Once it is done, you shall check and see if your Apache server is working. Open your browser and navigate to http://yourIP
NEW

You shall now check your PHP functionality. Move into your Apache document root and create a test.php file.

[root@parrot]?[/var/www/html]
#vim info.php
< ?php
phpinfo() 
?> 
[root@parrot]?[/var/www/html]
#systemctl restart apache2

You shall now verify it from your browser. Navigate to your browser http://yourIP/info.php
PHP

With this the installation of LAMP Stack comes to an end.
