# Shell commands to interactively install Apache2 with PHP and MySQL support on Debian Wheezy
# This is not an automatic script (but could be easily converted).  Assumes you have root.
# @see https://gist.github.com/rogerbush8/945baf7a3f1a9ae99ab1 - rogerbush8/install-debian-wheezy-mariadb-10
# which could be performed as a prerequisite for simple client/server install.
 
# Update
 
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade --show-upgraded

# Install apache2

apt-get install apache2 apache2-doc apache2-utils

# Install php5 and php5 mysql
apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php-pear php5-xcache
apt-get install php5-mysql

# Now some smoketests - see if apache2 has been started:
ps auxwww | grep apache2

# Test if apache2 serves static files
curl http://localhost

# The easiest way to see if php is working and examine the libraries
# loaded, is to create a simple script in /var/www:
cat > /var/www/info.php
<?php
phpinfo();
[CTRL-D]

curl http://localhost/info.php

# Testing the MySQL connection will take much more setup.  We can
# at least test whether PHP has loaded the correct client side
# libraries, by pointing our browser to http://<newhost>/info.php
# and looking through the HTML info page for pdo_mysql.  N.B.
# mine says "Client API version	10.0.15-MariaDB".

# N.B. the webserver will need additional configuration and
# setup based on the PHP applications we intend to run.
