Open yast2. From any command line you can just type yast.

After opening Yast, you will need to open the Software Management tool.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here you will need to filter by patterns. In this list you can select the LAMP server pattern.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scroll down until you see the LAMP server pattern. If you just click the LAMP server option, Yast will install the default. You can pick other options after selecting the Lamp pattern.

A good option to pick is the yast2-http-server. This is a fast way to look at the config of apache.

This command will start MySQL:

Type >rcmysql start

Type >mysqladmin -u root -p rootpassword

 

Starting for Apache 2

Start the server by typing the following command “rcapache2 start” or service apache2 start

The configuration files for your default site should go into /srv/www/htdocs.

 

Keeping servers running after a reboot

Run the following commands to add Apache2 and Mysql to start at boot.

chkconfig --add apache2; chkconfig apache2 on

chkconfig --add mysql; chkconfig mysql on
