Ubuntu 13.10 LAMP Server Setup on Rackspace Cloud Server Video Guide : Things We Have Changed Now Based On Feedback

 

Apparently, most of our visitors are from both EU Region, Canada and US. Despite the Video Guides are meticulously created, many unfortunately have issue with my accent. Obviously, I am trying to change my accent towards the normally spoken English, but a quick fix suggested by a regular viewer has been adapted – we have added the transcript as English Text on the videos like we usually see in far Eastern version of Hollywood movies!

Anyway, we are using iTerm2 and oh-my-zsh as Shell on OS X 10.9 running on a 15″ MacBook Pro. Windows Users will need to use PuTTY for Microsoft Windows. FileZilla can be used as SFTP software. All softwares are Open Source and Free Software.

  6. Changing Port for the user
  7. Installing LAMP Stack with one command
  8. Login to FTP Server
  9. SSH as User

 

Creating a Server Instance from Cloud Control Panel

 

It is quite easy and is Web GUI  Based. It needs no command but gives us the IP, Password should be copied.

 

SSH to the remote server

 

SSH to the remote server demands the specific IP address. The command should be used on any Terminal Emulator on Linux, Mac or via PuTTY on Windows :

Vim
1
2
3
~  ssh root@23.253.218.181
# note : the actual command is ssh root@23.253.218.181
# ~  <== this part should not be copied

 

Updating, upgrading and distribution upgrading

 

Ubuntu-13.10-LAMP-Server-Setup-on-Rackspace-Cloud-Server-Video-Guide

It is quite easy step. && joins two commands; you can use separately :

Vim
1
2
3
4
5
~  sudo apt-get update
~  sudo apt-get upgrade
~  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
# && joins two commands
~  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get update

 

Changing the password

 

It is also quite easy. You just need to type this command :

Vim
1
2
3
~  passwd
# it will ask to enter a new UNIX password and repeat it
# no password will be visible as masked characters - nothing will appear

 

Creating an user and giving the root Privilage

 

Very easy command :

Vim
1
~  adduser username

But, the next part is difficult :

Vim
1
visudo

Output is a config file, ^ means you need to hold control key plus that specified key, example can be ^W ; which means it writes the file. We will edit this part :

Vim
1
2
# User privilege specification
root    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

 

Changing Port 22 Changes the port number to connect. PermitRootLogin if changed from yes to no, root will be unable to execute commands. That is why we have :

Vim
1
2
3
4
5
6
# add at bottom
AllowUsers username
# user's privilege
username    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
# last step
~  reload ssh

These PHP extensions are usually required but not included in LAMP-Server^ one command installation :

Vim
1
sudo apt-get install php5-curl php5-gd

 

Login as user

 

Tricky :

Vim
1
2
~  ssh -p 80 username@123.45.67.890
# ssh -p PORTNUMBER username@IP

 

This ends our guide on Ubuntu 13.10 LAMP Server Setup on Rackspace Cloud Server Video. Obviously, this is the first step of using LAMP Server Setup on Rackspace Cloud Server. We will proceed further on upcoming days.
