I'm hoping there would be more people like me who set up LAMP server on AWS Linux EC2 Instance. I've done it multiple times and realized that it's time to write a script to automate the setup.

I've shared the script on GitHub. Detailed below are the steps to be followed.

#Step 0: Clone the repository Use git clone to clone the repository and set necessary permissions

git clone https://github.com/stinct9/aws-lamp.git>

cd aws-lamp</code>

chmod +x 1-aws.sh 2-aws.sh 3-aws.sh

#Step 1: Install php & MySQL Next installs php, Mysql and other dependencies.

sudo ./1-aws.sh

Once the script has completed running, please exit and login to the server again.

#Step 2: Setting Permissions

Next run

sudo ./2-aws.sh

#Step 3: Installing phpMyAdmin

Next install phpMyAdmin with the step 3 script. Here first it is very important to change the IP address field in the script

sudo nano 3-aws.sh

and modify the below line with your IP address. Replace your-ipaddress with your actual IP address. It would be something like 49.12.23.192. You can check your real ip address from whatismyip.com

sudo sed -i -e 's/127.0.0.1/your-ipaddress/g' /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf

Next run the script

sudo ./3-aws.sh

This will install phpmyadmin

#Conclusion The above will setup a bare LAMP server on AWS EC2.
