Idea #7646: Easy LAMP Desktop Development Environment

Written by nami the 26 Apr 08 at 08:23. Category: System. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
It would be good if it were possible to install an uptodate LAMP stack on your desktop via "add/remove programs".

When installed, it should install all the latest versions of:

MySQL
Apache
PHP

on the desktop and automatically set everything up.

It would be even better if it auto installed cgi with perl, python, c, and c++ so cgi would run from the browser.

I agree.

There already is an option for this! It only needs to be added to add/remove programs

Goto console and type:
tasksel

This lets you install several things:

DNS server
Edubuntu server
LAMP server
Mail server
OpenSSH server
PostgreSQL database
Print server
Samba File server
2D/3D creation and editing suite
Audio creation and editing suite
Edubuntu KDE desktop
Edubuntu desktop
Gobuntu desktop
Kubuntu KDE 4 desktop
Kubuntu desktop
LADSPA and DSSI audio plugins
Mythbuntu additional roles
Mythbuntu frontend
Mythbuntu master backend
Mythbuntu slave backend
Ubuntu Studio desktop
Ubuntu desktop
Video creation and editing suite
Xubuntu desktop
Edubuntu live CD
Gobuntu live CD
Kubuntu live CD
Mythbuntu live CD
Ubuntu live CD
Ubuntu live DVD
Xubuntu live CD

WARNING: if you remove a * it also deletes that. So unticking Gnome uninstalls gnome ;)

I already have that option in Synaptic... Edit--> Select by task (or something like that, mine is in spanish). LAMP is one of the options. I am running feisty, by the way.
