LAMP (Linux, Apache, MariaDB/MySQL, PHP) server is very powerful server setup behind any website or web based service. This guide is collection of Fedora/CentOS/Red Hat (RHEL), Apache, MariaDB/MySQL and PHP install guides. Today the Internet is full of instructions, which promises a LAMP server installation with a “One-Liner”, and so forth. In fact, these “One-Liner” instructions assume that, Linux is already installed and installs just AMP (Apache, MariaDB/MySQL, PHP) pakages, without any configuration. AMP programs can be installed with one command easily, of course, but the correct configuration have to be done anyway, especially if the environment is going to production use.

LEMP (Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP) server is extremely powerful setup behind any website or web based service. This guide is collection of Fedora/CentOS/Red Hat (RHEL), Nginx, MariaDB/MySQL and PHP (PHP-FPM) install guides. This guide (more specifically this guide parts) try to explain in more detail LEMP (Linux, Nginx, MariaDB/MySQL, PHP (PHP-FPM)) server environment installation. This howto can be used to pre-installed Linux, and instructions can be used for various Fedora and Red Hat based Linux distros with YUM. This guide is also usable with setup where MariaDB/MySQL databases, Nginx servers and even PHP-FPM are on different server machines. So you could have different servers to process MariaDB/MySQL queries, Web Server requests and PHP requests.

MariaDB is a binary drop in replacement for MySQL database server. This means that for most cases, you can just uninstall MySQL and install MariaDB and you are good to go. Why MariaDB? MariaDB is totally open source version of MySQL It works just like MySQL and is compatible with MySQL setups Fedora and Red Hat/CentOS/Rocky Linux use MariaDB instead of MySQL This is guide, **howto install or upgrade MariaDB 10.7.1 \[RC\], 10.6.3 \[stable\] or 10.5.13 \[stable\] on Fedora 35/34/33, CentOS Stream 8, Red Hat (RHEL) 8.5 and Rocky Linux 8.5**. Installing MariaDB is almost same process than [install MySQL](/2010/install-mysql-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/ "MySQL Install guide"). Note: If you are moving from MySQL, then make sure that you backup (dump and copy) your database and configs. And if upgrading from earlier versions, then remember run mysql_upgrade command. And if you uninstall MySQL, then remember restore /etc/my.cnf after installation, like:
