Install LAMP on Ubuntu Desktop
When you need a test environment for your web design, this is a great solution. (I can not stress enough that this is not adequate for a production environment, but will work fine for a test environment.) This Ubuntu desktop can host web pages just like a real web server. It runs a complete LAMP stack. LAMP is a common platform on the internet to host websites. LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP.
In this video, I take an Ubuntu desktop and make it capable of hosting WordPress. It has FTP, a web interface (Webmin), phpMyAdmin, and even has a Samba share to host a shared folder for Windows. I've done this a couple of times on server, but it's a little different on Desktop. (Plus, I had to build a new one when I switched laptops.)
So, if you wanted to have a little local web server, but were afraid to go completely command line... Well, this is still pretty command line heavy. But it is a desktop. So, hopefully you find that this video does you some good. You'll find all my commands below!
