Automatic LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) In about 15 minutes, the time it

takes to install Ubuntu Edgy Server Edition, you can have a LAMP server up and
ready to go. This feature, exclusive to Ubuntu Server Edition, is available at the time
of installation.
The LAMP option saves the trouble of installing and integrating each of the four
separate LAMP components, a process which can take hours and requires someone
who is skilled in the installation and configuration of the individual applications. You get
increased security, reduced time to install, and reduced risk of misconfiguration, all of
which results in a lower cost of ownership.

Configuring Static ip address in Ubuntu server
Ubuntu installer has configured our system to get its network settings via DHCP, Now
we will change that to a static IP address for this you need to edit Edit
/etc/network/interfaces and enter your ip address details (in this example setup I will
use the IP address 172.19.0.10):
sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static

address 172.19.0.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 172.19.0.0
broadcast 172.19.0.255
gateway 172.19.0.1
Now you need to restart your network services using the following command
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
You need to setup manually DNS servers in resolv.conf file when you are not using
DHCP.
sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf
You need to add look something like this
search domain.com
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Install SSH Server
If you want to access your server remotely through SSH you need to install SSH
server for this you need to run the following command
sudo apt-get install ssh openssh-server
You will be prompted to insert the installation CD again and this will complete SSH
server in your edgy lamp server.
This is really simple and easy server installation for new users and who wants a quick
server.
One small Observation i have noticed in edgy LAMP installation and dapper LAMP
installation was choosing LAMP server option is available in dapper at the time of
booting your server CD and in edgy you need to select LAMP server option at the
time of software installation.
This might be useful for users who might think there is no LAMP server option at the
time of start booting their Edgy server CD.
After completing your Edgy LAMP Server Installation some of users may not be
comfortable with command prompt for those users they can install webmin for their
server web interface to configure apache,mysql servers.You can check here for
webmin tutorials
