This assumes you are now connected to the server via SSH.

• sudo -s Enter root mode for admin access
• groupadd devgroup Create new group to be later granted access to /var/www/html

• useradd -G root,devgroup masterdev Create new root user. Also add to the devgroup
• passwd masterdev Change password for the new root user
• At this point, you'll need to input your new root user's new password

Next, we'll need to set PasswordAuthentication to On. By default, passwords cannot be used on SSH (Off), so you initially need to use the pem or ppk files. However, since we now have created our new root user, we can change this and set it to "On".

• sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config Edit SSH config file
• Make sure this is set: PasswordAuthentication yes
• sudo service sshd restart

• sudo vi /etc/sudoers Edit the sudoers file
• Add masterdev user after the root's line

root ALL=(ALL) ALL
masterdev ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL

• sudo yum update -y Update linux packages
• sudo yum -y install httpd24 Install webserver
• sudo chkconfig httpd on Check for config errors
• sudo service httpd start Start the webserver
• sudo yum -y install php55 php55-devel php55-common php55-cli php55-pecl-apc php55-pdo php55-mysql php55-xml php55-gd php55-mbstring php-pear php55-mysqlnd php55-mcrypt Install php and the usual extensions.
• sudo service httpd restart Restart the webserver

• Apache Configuration sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

<Directory "/var/www/html">
	Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
	AllowOverride All
	Require all granted
</Directory>

• PHP Configuration sudo vi /etc/php.ini

error_log = /var/log/php-error.log
date.timezone = "UTC"

• After configurations sudo service httpd restart

• sudo usermod -a -G devgroup apache Add apache to dev group
• sudo service httpd restart

• If you will be using Amazon RDS or any separate database server, skip the whole MySQL Section. This is only required when you want to use a "localhost" MySQL on your server.

• sudo yum -y install mysql mysql-server Install
• sudo mysqladmin -u root password 'NEW_ROOT_PASSWORD' Setup root password
• sudo chkconfig mysqld on Check if there are config errors
• sudo service mysqld start Start the mysql service
• sudo mysql -u root -p Login to MySQL via console
• At this point you will need to enter your password

• After entering your password, the console supposedly changed to mysql>.
• At this point you can execute MySQL queries, not linux commands.
• Execute the following code to test running queries:

DROP DATABASE test;
DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE user = '';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

• To exit the MySQL Console, you can type exit, or press Ctrl+C.
