Installing LAMP stack without MySQL on AWS

I want to host basic websites on AWS. I got my head around creating an instance, choosing a distro (Ubuntu) and installing Apache. I want to install PHP, but these basic websites don't require a database.

The LAMP tutorials give the following command for installing PHP, but I'm uncertain if you want this command for a server not running MYSQL.

sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mcrypt php-mysql

These websites are intended for small-to-medium enterprises and only need PHP for a basic contact form script.

Would it be as easy as just using the following command?

sudo apt-get install php

0 + 2

server

mysql

php

apache2

aws

You will not need `php-mysql` if there is no database installed. Depending on how basic these sites are, you may need some other PHP packages, though, so be ready to read your Apache error log to determine which libraries are missing as you try to load the sites and see errors

LAMP always includes mysql; want you want is LAP ;-) `sudo apt-get install php` no to connect apache you need `libapache2-mod-php` for securing your site you need `php-mcrypt`. Generally I would suggest to install the default an instabce offers so with nysql even if you do not use it, Your base install should be as close to an original instance as possible (every change you make you need to docunent and maintain so the less you change the better ;) )

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.
