You can find many different tutorials online on how to compile a LAMP stack, but most of them lack content, and usually only give a few commands such as installing apache and php, etc. This tutorial covers everything you can/should do from the initial login to your VPS/Dedicated Server to the point you can start developing a website / move your current website.
NOTE: This tutorial is intended for quick deployment and does NOT include extra apache security and only basic server hardening.
/*
* Initial Server Setup
*/
/*
* Install CSF (3rd Party Firewall that is commonly used in web-hosting and is very customizable)
*/
// Configure CSF
// Save and close the file, then reboot the firewall
/*
* Change OpenSSH Default Port (Keep the hackers from ever connecting to your terminal)
*/
// Find the line that reads #Port 22
// Remove the hash (comment symbol) and change the 22 to a port you want
// Remember to open the new port in the CSF firewall "TCP_INCOMING"
// Save and close the file
/*
* Install Apache
*/
/*
* Configure Apache Virtual Host (Tell the web server where the web directory is for your domain)
*/
// Replace example.com with your website's domain or any username you want
// Add the following line to the bottom of the file
// Save and close the file
// Add the following to the configuration file and replace example.com with your servers domain name and/or username
// Save and close the configuration file
/*
* Install CertBot (Uses lets-encrypt to create verified ssl certificates)
*/
// Follow the onscreen instructions to install an SSL Cert
/*
* Install PHP 5.6 (Stable, supported PHP release)
*/
/*
*Install MySQL (MariaDB is the CentOS 7 community version of MySQL)
*/
// Follow the on-screen instructions
/*
*Install phpMyAdmin (Manage your database with an easy to use GUI)
*/
// Change the 4 instances of 127.0.0.1 to your external IP address
// Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin
// Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin
// Comment out the 2 aliases and create a new one in a unique and secure location
