Hi guys,
i'm very new to Ubuntu and Drupal and am sorry for asking this noob question but is ubuntu server edition LAMP server installation comes with the mysql5 php5 and apache2 all pre-installed after i set up ubuntu?
i had to manually use apt-get to install all these after i installed ubuntu LAMP and then i see the /var/www only after installing apache.. i'm confused as i would have expect LAMP to be pre-installed already with apache mysql etc.. Could anyone tell me if Ubuntu's LAMP server installation means the LAMP are pre-installed or not? Really appreciate it..

I believe the answer is that it is not installed, but is available at the time of installation. Found this on the Ubuntu site at http://www.ubuntu.com/products/WhatIsUbuntu/serveredition.

"In around 15 minutes, the time it takes to install Ubuntu Server Edition, you can have a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) server up and ready to go. This feature, exclusive to Ubuntu Server Edition, is available at the time of installation."

I also found an install Ubuntu tutorial a the lullabot website at http://www.lullabot.com/videocast/install-local-web-server-ubuntu. This may also help you.

When I install Ubuntu-server, the LAMP stack is installed with the OS, I just have to tell the installer to start the service...
I just installed Ubuntu-server 7.10 a few days ago and the LAMP stack was there: Apache 2.2.4 PHP 5.2.3 MySQL 5.0.37...

Anyway, does it work? Do you need help making it work?

I do realize that this is a really old thread but, I must say.. If you are trying to either test drupal (or other php based web apps) or just set up your own webserver, Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS Server Edition is the easiest way to go.
