\"How<\/p>\n

We’ll show you how to install LAMP on CentOS 7.\u00a0LAMP is actually an acronym for a web services solution stack consisting of Linux, the Apache HTTP Server, the MySQL or MariaDB database engines, and the PHP, Perl or Python programming language. All components are free and open-source software, and the combination is suitable for building dynamic web pages.<\/p>\n

Requirements?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are using our SSD 1 VPS<\/a> hosting plan<\/strong> for this set-up, which should be more than enough to run LAMP<\/strong> and host multiple dynamic websites using virtual host directives.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Update the System<\/b><\/h3>\n

As always, make sure your CentOS 7 VPS<\/strong><\/a> is fully up-to-date and you’re in a screen<\/code> session using the commands below:<\/p>\n

## screen -U -S lamp-centos7\n## yum update<\/pre>\n
2. Install MariaDB<\/b><\/h3>\n
MariaDB is the default database server in CentOS 7, so go ahead and install it with yum<\/code> using the following command:<\/p>\n
## yum install mariadb mariadb-server mysql<\/pre>\n
Once installed, add bind-address = 127.0.0.1<\/code> to \/etc\/my.cnf.d\/server.cnf<\/code> to bind MariaDB to localhost only<\/span>:<\/p>\n
## vim \/etc\/my.cnf.d\/server.cnf\n\n[mysqld]\n#log-bin=mysql-bin\n#binlog_format=mixed\nbind-address = 127.0.0.1<\/pre>\n
