Should I install Webmin before LAMP

us flag

As a total beginner, should I installed Webmin THEN LAMP or LAMP and THEN Webmin please?

History:- *(I installed XAMPP a while ago - it worked though it never installed an ICON in the Applications. I decided to install Webmin as many folks suggested this as a good way to control Apache2 and MySQL etc. Installation went well but under "Server" in Webmin, there was no sign of Apache2 or MySQL server.

After searching, I found some people ADAMANT that I should use LAMP not XAMPP for security reasons and that Webmin should be installed first - others said LAMP/XAMPP must be installed first and THEN Webmin. As I have made a pigs ear out of things, I have done a clean install so there is nothing messy to sort out. I just want to get the order right now.)*

So, LAMP and THEN Webmin or Webmin and THEN LAMP please for the simplest installation for a beginner?

Webmin uses an existing Apache installation, so you will want to have the "LA" bit in LAMP before Webmin will work.

Basic prerequisites can be considered as:

  1. an Ubuntu 20.04 server with a non-root user with sudo privileges
  2. UFW firewall configured
  3. Apache
  4. a Fully-Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), with a DNS A record pointing to the IP address of your system

Be sure to have port 10000 available, otherwise you will not be able to connect to Webmin:

sudo ufw allow 10000
mangohost

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
