[SOLVED] Installing LAMP server

[jlevpuckba]

Hey all,

I just installed Ubuntu server and the desktop. I went to the Synaptic Package Manager and installed the LAMP server. Noob question......where did it go? It is now grayed out with a check mark in the package manager like it is installed, but it's not in any menus anywhere. Do I need to do some coding for that to show up and use it?

Thanks for the help.

Its a service so it might not show up in menus. Try

locate lamp

and if that doesnt work, cd into etc and see if its there. You can also try

ps -ef | grep lamp

to see if its running. If its not try starting it with

service lamp start

Its got a conf file somewhere too so you could search for all conf files.

Thanks. I found everything in the /etc folder. LAMP itself is not a service, so the commands were coming up with errors. But, I found what I was looking for and you headed me in the right direction. Thanks again.
