1. Our 1st steup, is quite simple. Once you have connected to your server via SSH, use the following command to install everything you need.

yum -y install httpd php mysql mysql-server php-mysql

This will take  2 – 5 minuts to download ( Total Size is 16Mb )
Once its done Yum will say “Complete!” and you will be returned to command area.
Second, you need to set a MySQL root password. Without this, your MySQL server can be attacked, and it WILL happen! Use the following command (With QUOTES) to set your root password,

mysqladmin -u root password ‘ENTER-PASSWORD-HERE’

Next, we shall do further security checks on MYSQL by removing any other users that managed to get created and removing the MYSQL test database.

mysql -u root -p
mysql> DRO P DATABASE test;
mysql> DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE user = ”;
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

In the last, we shall set apache and mysql to run on startup. This is useful tool if your server has a power outage or needs to be rebooted as it will automatically restart Apache & MySQL for you.

/sbin/chkconfig httpd on
/sbin/chkconfig –add mysqld
/sbin/chkconfig mysqld on
/sbin/service httpd start
/sbin/service mysqld start

To check if verything is working fine and ready to use, browse to the web server directory (on CentOS its /var/www/html) and create a new file using  text editor called phpinfo.php (enter “nano phpinfo.php” to open the text editor). Enter the following code into that file to check PHP is working

Now all things was done properly and your vps is ready to use and cleared from the security risks
