Here is a quick Reference guide for installing the components needed for a fresh ubuntu server install to Lamp configuration.
These instructions were originally written 3-2008. As you know that will surely change by the time you need this info.
Hopefully this will give you some idea on how to do it on newer versions of ubuntu server.
Run all as root or sudo
1. change ip from dhcp to static
sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
[how to setup for dhcp]
Auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
[how to setup for static]
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
Address 192.168.1.50
Netmask 255.255.255.0
Network 192.168.1.0
Broadcast 192.168.1.255
Gateway 192.168.1.1
[now to setup dns settings]
vi /etc/resolv.conf
On the line ?name server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx? replace with ip of dns server.
Now to restart network
/etc/init.d/networking restar
2. [get updates for ubuntu]

aptitude upgrade
aptitude dist-upgrade
3. apt-get install apache2
/etc/init.d/apache2.start

6. apt-get install mysql-server
If you are running a server you should probably bind your
address by editing bind-address in /etc/mysql/my.cnf and
replacing its value (127.0.0.1) by your IP address
how to set root password if not setup in install of mysql
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR ?root?@’localhost? = PASSWORD(?xxxxxx?);
Try running it
Code:
mysql -uroot -pxxx
7. apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql phpmyadmin
8. Also I had to chown the www folder so that I could easily edit files in it:
cd /var/
sudo chown -R USERNAME www
then created a symlink in my home directory:
ln -s -v /var/www /home/USERNAME/www
9. apt-get install openssh-server
10. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.400_all.deb
apt-get install openssl libauthen-pam-perl libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl
libnet-ssleay-perl
dpkg -i webmin_1.400_all.deb
