LAMP Server Setup for Drupal

This guide assumes you're running an Ubuntu 20.04 VM in VirtualBox, using the included Vagrantfile. Install Vagrant and VirtualBox, then run vagrant up in this directory.

Run vagrant ssh to log into the VM, then run all the commands below:

# Update apt caches.
sudo apt update

# Install database software and the unzip package.
sudo apt install -y mariadb-server mariadb-client unzip

# Run through the installation process.
sudo mysql_secure_installation

# Create a Drupal database while logged into the MySQL cli.
sudo mysql -u root

CREATE DATABASE drupal;
GRANT ALL ON drupal.* TO 'drupal'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
\q

# Install PHP.
sudo apt install -y php php-{cli,fpm,json,common,mysql,zip,gd,intl,mbstring,curl,xml,pear,tidy,soap,bcmath,xmlrpc}

# Install Apache with mod_php.
sudo apt install -y apache2 libapache2-mod-php

# Configure a couple important PHP settings.
sudo nano /etc/php/7.4/apache2/php.ini

Find the following lines and change them to these settings and save the file:

memory_limit = 512M
date.timezone = America/Chicago

And back to running commands:

# Configure a Drupal virtual host for Apache.
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/drupal.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerName example.com
     ServerAlias www.example.com
     ServerAdmin [email protected]
     DocumentRoot /var/www/html/drupal/web

     CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
     ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

      <Directory /var/www/html/drupal/web>
            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride All
            Require all granted
            RewriteEngine on
            RewriteBase /
            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
            RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
   </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

(We'll finish setting up Apache later, after we have Drupal installed.)

# Install Composer (https://getcomposer.org/download/)
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php composer-setup.php
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

# Prepare the /var/www directory.
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www

# Create a Drupal project codebase with Composer as the Apache user.
sudo su -l www-data -s /bin/bash
composer create-project drupal/recommended-project /var/www/html/drupal
exit

# Finish configuring Apache and restart it to pick up the new site.
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo a2ensite drupal.conf
sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2
