Building an Ubuntu 7.10 LAMP+ Server
Introduction
While setting up a LAMP server using the Ubuntu 7.10 server install, I realized that I was going to a lot of different sites containing different suggestions about how to properly setup the server components. One of the things I’ve always done well is consolidate information to make tasks easier. These pages will consolidate the knowledge that I have gained into a concise reference for setting up a LAMP server.
