To install A.M.P. on Ubuntu:

Estimated Time: Approximately 1/2 hour 

  1. Select Applications on the Ubuntu screen and click on "Add/Remove"
  2. Click on the ‘Advanced’ button. The Synaptic Package Manager will appear and request for your system admin password (if any)
  3. Search for the application or program you wish to install (e.g. Apache, MySQL and PHP)
  4. Rinse and repeat the above three steps for each of the A.M.P. because each one has its set of packages to install and I found that the packages don’t all install together so you have to ignore some of the ‘warning’ pop-ups. See illustration below.

While installing the packages, the following warning will probably could appear

 

 Select Yes, and it will install the programs that can be installed before showing you the next warning similar to the image below.

 

 Select OK and then the packages that did not install will remain as checked (installed ones appear as a colored box). Apply/Install again until you get all the checked boxes installed with the following message below.

 

 

Below are screen images of the A.M.P. packages I installed on Ubuntu. I was fortunate to have my personal geek giving me advise on what files to look out for. For example, the ‘Apache 2 module for MySQL authentication’ is really only necessary for users relying on multiple servers to retrieve passwords (such as porn sites). Also, Ubuntu has a neat function where it automatically provides related packages. For example, when I selected Apache 2, Ubuntu immediately selected a list of about 5-7 more other packages that were related and all I had to do was to Mark for Updates.

In the meantime, hope the images help to guide you because there are soooo many packages available and you probably don’t need most of them.
