For those who cannot access the php module out of box, you need to restart you apache server to have it load the php module:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

and then point your browser to http://domain.name/test.php

For anyone having issues with the php test bringing up a popup to save the php file:

Just continue the installations in the complete order and you’ll be able to test the php file once you’ve restarted the apache server towards the end by running:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

That works perfectly, thanks.

One small thing: I would update all the code to include “sudo.”

Also, under section one, there should be a command to restart apache before checking if php works.

Thanks again for a great guide.

Nice article. LAMP setup isn’t so heavy to do, but I would like to point to few post installation steps. After Linux installation, many needless services are started by default. They are potentially security hole – minimize them. If firewall isn’t started, start it. You can easily find firewall configuration for your need. Forbid ssh root access – use “normal” user instead and then “su”. Hide your Apache/PHP version … this tips can be useful, and if you want to read more http://www.redips.net/linux/lamp-setup/
Thank you!
