LAMP Server Setup

I recently got an unmanaged VPS hosting account and hadn't setup a lamp server box in a long time so I decided to share my experience through the install process. Installing all the necessary software these days really isn't as difficult as it may seem. Before you start there are a few things you will need.

Make sure to have a VPS or dedicated server or any hosting account where you have root access. If you don't have an account, check out linode.com as I will be using their servers in this tutorial.

At the end of this tutorial you will have a ready to use Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP server with full mail functions and a web based admin control panel.

The sections I will cover are:
1. Hosting setup
2. Install Linux
3. Install Apache
4. Install PHP/MySQL
5. Install Admin panel
