It’s just plain copy/paste and some translation. I haven’t tried, but it seems interest.

Installing Ubuntu as LAMP (Linux, Apache, Mysql, PHP - Perl - Python) Server is very easy. As it already has the choice available if you installing your Ubuntu using Ubuntu server CD. It’ll install Apache with mod_php and PHP and Mysql along with php_mysql module. All tight up together. Not like in Fedora/CentOS/Redhat where you install Apache without PHP, which may lead to miss some configuration.

Simple and straight forward configuration is available on UbuntuGeek.com

Finally Ubuntu 8.04 is OUT!!! I’ll download the desktop and server edition and play with both. Especially the server edition because someone ask me how to install and configure Ubuntu for Web, Database and File server.

He is server is using AMD 64bit but I am just download the 32bit as my test bed, and if everything ok! I can do the same thing with Ubuntu 8.04 Server 64bit.

sudo mkdir /home/public

sudo chmod 777 /home/public/

sudo cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf_backup

gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf

* Find this line

...

;  security = user

...

* Replace with the following line (make sure it does not begin with a semicolon)

  security = share

* Append the following lines at the end of file

[public]

  comment = Public Folder

  path = /home/public

  guest ok = yes

  read only = no

  create mask = 0777

  directory mask = 0777

  force user = nobody

  force group = nogroup

* Save the edited file

sudo testparm

sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

File sharing on Ubuntu can be done using NFS and Samba. For simplicity, I use both.
System > Administration > Shared Folders
If you dont have Samba and NFS installed, it’ll installed for you.
or use command below if you want only file sharing through Samba (Windows filesharing)

sudo apt-get install samba smbfs
