 +===== Install PHP =====
 +
 +PHP is a preprocessor: it’s code that runs when the server receives a request for a web page via a web browser. It works out what needs to be shown on the page, and then sends that page to the browser.
 +
 +Type the following command in the terminal to install PHP:
 +
 +    sudo apt install php -y
 +
 +==== Test PHP ====
 +
 +Type this command to delete the index.html file from earlier:
 +
 +    sudo rm index.html
 +
 +Create a new file called index.php:
 +
 +    sudo nano index.php
 +
 +In the nano code editor, type this PHP code into the file and save it.
 +
 +    <?php echo "hello world"; ?>
 +
 +Refresh your browser. You should see “hello world”. This page is not dynamic, but it is still served by PHP.
 +
 +==== Priority PHP Apache’s Configuration File ====
 +
 +
 +On Debian/Ubuntu-based servers, edit:
 +
 +    sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf
 +
 +On CentOS/RHEL, the file is usually located at:
 +
 +    sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
 +
 +If you're using virtual host configurations, check files inside /etc/apache2/sites-available/ or /etc/httpd/conf.d/.
 +
 +Modify the DirectoryIndex Directive
 +
 +Look for a line like this:
 +
 +    DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml index.htm
 +
 +Change it so that index.php comes first:
 +
 +    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.cgi index.pl index.xhtml index.htm
 +
 +Save and Exit
 +
 +If using nano, press CTRL + X, then Y, and hit Enter to save.
 +
 +Restart Apache to Apply the Changes
 +
 +On Debian/Ubuntu:
 +
 +   sudo systemctl restart apache2
 +
 +On CentOS/RHEL:
 +
 +    sudo systemctl restart httpd
 +
 +
 +===== Install MariaDB =====
 +
 +
 +MariaDB is a popular database engine. Like PHP, it’s widely used on web servers, which is why projects like WordPress use it, and why those projects are so popular.
 +
 +Type this command to install the MariaDB Server and PHP-MySQL packages:
 +
 +    sudo apt install mariadb-server php-mysql -y
 +
 +Now restart Apache:
 +
 +    sudo service apache2 restart
 +
 +==== Set up ====
 +
 +
 +Run the MySQL secure installation command in the terminal window.
 +
 +    sudo mysql_secure_installation
 +
 +Go through the setup wizard :
 +
 +
 +
 +  * Enter current password for root (enter for none): — press Enter.
 +  * 
 +  * Switch to unix_socket authentication [Y/n] - Type in N and press Enter
 +  * 
 +  * Change the root password? - Type in Y and press Enter
 +  * 
 +  * New password: - Type in a password and press Enter, then repeat a second time. Important: remember this root password, as you will need it later to set up WordPress.
 +  * 
 +  *     Remove anonymous users - Type in Y
 +  * 
 +  *     Disallow root login remotely - Type in Y
 +  * 
 +  *     Remove test database and access to it - Type in Y
 +  * 
 +  *     Reload privilege tables now - Type in Y
 +
