Installation (Debian-based Linux Distributions)

1. Install Apache, PHP and MySQL.

sudo apt install apache2
sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-mbstring 
sudo apt install mysql-server mysql-client

MySQL will require a password for the root during the installation.

2. You may also install phpmyadmin if you want to visualize the database.

sudo apt install phpmyadmin
sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /path/to/site

Choose apache2 as the web server, and enter your root password for MySQL.

3. Add the following lines to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf to configure the site.

DocumentRoot /path/to/site
<Directory /path/to/site/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted

        ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
        ErrorDocument 500 /500.php
        ErrorDocument 502 /500.php
        ErrorDocument 503 /500.php
        ErrorDocument 504 /500.php
