How to start Apache on EC2

Question

I'm an absolute newbie to EC2. My goal is to run a php-mysql-website on EC2.

I've just setup a new instance based on this ami

It seems that apache isn't running? How do I start apache? Is there a general tutorial on how to start EC2 as a web server?

Thanks!

It really depends on the distribution you have chosen. Typically, though, you can start Apache using the init scripts. For example, on Ubuntu server it will be:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start

On CentOS or Redhat it might be:

sudo /etc/init.d/httpd start

For Suse 11, try

 rcapache2 status
 rcapache2 start

If it is not installed, you can install with

yast2 --install apache2

for a tutorial on LAMP with this server, check

Your last command results in "No such client module –install" Is there a preconfgured AMI where a LAMP is already installed? – murze Oct 28 '10 at 14:24
I don't believe so, you may have to follow a tutorial online to get the stack set up. Don't worry, after a few tries, you'll have the hang of it for good. – Brandon Frohbieter Oct 28 '10 at 14:36
sorry, typo. two hyphens, or -i – Brandon Frohbieter Oct 28 '10 at 14:38
Just wanted to mention that BitNami does provide Amazon and Azure cloud images with pre-configured LAMP. http://bitnami.com/stack/lamp/cloud – kaysa Apr 23 '13 at 11:31

If you are running bitnami's Drupal Stack, you can

1) cd /opt/bitnami 2) sudo bash (enter password) 3) sh ctlscript.sh restart

this will restart the LAMP stack

Well, you need to set up a LAMP server. To install LAMP server with one command, try the following:

sudo apt-get install lamp-server^

Note that the last ^ is not a typo, it's included in the command. See this page for more information.
