Setup and Configuration of Secure LAMP Server on AWS EC2 (Ubuntu)
About This Project
Every PHP application needs a server that is fast, current, and secure from day one. For this engagement I provisioned and hardened a full LAMP stack — Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP — on an AWS EC2 Ubuntu instance, built as a reliable host for production PHP and Laravel apps.
The approach: stand up the EC2 instance, install and configure Apache, MySQL, and PHP 8.0, then verify the stack is genuinely operational — confirming the web server responds and validating the PHP runtime and version with phpinfo() rather than assuming the install worked. Configuration and access were set up with security in mind from the start.
The result is a secure, scalable LAMP host ready for real application traffic. This is the baseline server foundation I build before deploying client web applications on AWS.
Stack: AWS EC2, Ubuntu, Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP 8.0.
