How to install Xampp in EC2 Amazon AWS Ubuntu Linux

If you have an EC2 instance and you have Ubuntu installed in it and now you want to install Xampp in that machine, this guideline is for you. Remember: This installation will install PHP, Mysql into your EC2 machine. So, if you have previously installed PHP or MySql, please remove them completely and then follow below mentioned guideline.

I am assuming you have key file and you have logged in to your EC2 instance with following command:

sudo ssh -i ubuntu@ec2-your-instance.com

Or you can access your EC2 m/c directly through browser.

Now your steps are described below:

Step 1: Download Xampp in your EC2 machine

wget https://www.apachefriends.org/xampp-files/7.0.23/xampp-linux-x64-7.0.23-0-installer.run

Step 2: Make the xampp file executable for installation with following command

sudo chmod +x xampp-linux-x64–7.0.23–0-installer.run

Step 3: Run the installation

sudo ./xampp-linux-x64–7.0.23–0-installer.run

Note: Give YES permission to all XAMPP instructions and Set your PHPMYADMIN password during installation.

sudo apt install net-tools

Step 4: After step 3 your xampp is installed inside /opt/lampp. Now you have to start Xampp with following command:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

Now, if you go to your browser and type your IP address, you will see Xampp landing page.

In New Xampp

All you have to do is to edit the file:
sudo vi /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf
# since XAMPP 1.4.3
<Directory “/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin”>
AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
Require all granted
ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</Directory>

Require local

To

Require all granted

in the Directory tag.

So the code will look like this
<Directory “/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin”>
AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>

Step 6: Now restart Xampp

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart

Note: You can check the security settings with following command:

sudo /opt/lampp/xampp security

Step 7:
Open inbound from 80 and 8080 then try Access phpmyadmin with http://your-ip/phpmyadmin

http://3.142.220.76/phpmyadmin

Step 8: Now you have to create .htaccess file at your /opt/lampp/htdocs directory and put follwoing lines

creating file: sudo vi /opt/lampp/htdocs/.htaccess

Put following lines into that file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.yourdomain\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/WebProjectFolder/
RewriteRule (.*) /WebProjectFolder/$1

step9: Get your Github code deployed at
/opt/lampp/htdocs

step 10: create DB by importing .sql file of the project: http://34.208.5.210/phpmyadmin/import.php
