# PHP Dev Env Setup for Laravel



Setup a dev environment on Ubuntu for PHP and node.



## Setup Dev Environment



Run the updates-



```bash

sudo apt update



sudo apt upgrade

```



### Apache2



Install and start apache2-



```bash

sudo apt install apache2



sudo systemctl enable apache2



sudo systemctl start apache2

```



Check if the apache2 is running now or not-



```bash

sudo systemctl status apache2

```



If it's not running then figure out the cause by checking its config-



```bash

apache2ctl configtest

```



If you have upgraded your system and your PHP version was upgraded then this might cause the issue. You can fix that by disabling the old PHP and enable the new PHP in configuration. Do this only if this is the case otherwise skip this-



```bash

sudo a2dismod php7.3

sudo a2enmod php7.4

```



Enable rewrite module in apache2-



```bash

sudo a2enmod rewrite



sudo systemctl restart apache2

```



### MySQL



Install and setup database-



```bash

sudo apt install mysql-server



sudo mysql_secure_installation



sudo systemctl status mysql

```



Login into mysql-



```bash

mysql -u root -p

```



If the above does not work then try logging in with sudo-



```bash

sudo mysql -u root

```



Now set a password for root here in mysql terminal-



```bash

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password';

```



In case it still does not work then switch to mysql db in mysql terminal and check the user table. Make sure it uses the native password plugin.



```bash

mysql -uroot -p

SELECT user,authentication_string,plugin,host FROM mysql.user;

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'your_mysql_pass';

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

SELECT user,authentication_string,plugin,host FROM mysql.user;

```



Once this is enabled, you would be able to access PHPmyadmin. If you want to access database remotely then you will have to create a new user from phpmyadmin.



Make sure to comment bind address in this file so it can connect remotely-



`nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf`



### PHP



In case you have two PHP versions installed then you can remove the extra one by this command-



```bash

sudo apt purge php7.3*

```



Install PHP 7.4-



```bash

sudo apt install php7.4 \

  php7.4-bcmath \

  php7.4-cli \

  php7.4-common \

  php7.4-curl \

  php7.4-gd \

  php7.4-intl \

  php7.4-json \

  php7.4-mbstring \

  php7.4-mysql \

  php7.4-opcache \

  php7.4-soap \

  php7.4-xml \

  php7.4-zip

```



Test the PHP-



```bash

cd /var/www/html



sudo nano info.php 

```



Write this in info.php and run it to check if everything is working fine-



```php



  #ServerName www.example.com

	ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        

	DocumentRoot /var/www



	

	    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes

	    AllowOverride All

	    Order allow,deny

      Allow from all

	



	ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

	CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined



  ServerName 123.123.123.123



  Alias /project-one /var/www/project-one/public

  Alias /project-two /var/www/project-two/public



  DocumentRoot /var/www/project-one/public

  

    AllowOverride all

    Order allow,deny

    Allow from all

  



  DocumentRoot /var/www/project-two/public

  

    AllowOverride all

    Order allow,deny

    Allow from all

  



  ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

  CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined



```



Change in your /var/www/project-one/public/.htaccess



```



RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /project-one/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]



```



### Virtual Host Setup in Local



```



    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

    ServerName localhost

    DocumentRoot /var/www

    

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined



    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

    ServerName my-project.local

    DocumentRoot /var/www/my-project/public



    

        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

        AllowOverride All

        Require all granted

    



    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined



```



### Virutal Host Setup in Nginx



```

server {

  listen 80;

  server_name www.my-domain.com;

  rewrite ^(.*) http://my-domain.com$1 permanent;

}



server {

  listen 80 default_server;

  server_name my-domain.com;

  root /var/www/my-project/public;

  index index.php index.html index.htm;

  location / {

     try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;

  }



  location ~ \.php$ {

     include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;

     fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;

  }



  location ~ /\.ht {

     deny all;

  }

}

```
