Introduction
eyeOS is free Cloud Computing Operating System software which let you access all your necessary files, folders, office, calendar, contacts and much more anywhere in the world. eyeOS is released under the AGPLv3 license and only needs Apache 2 server, PHP5 and MySQL database server to run.

ApacheMySQLPHP

The Ubuntu base system includes Tasksel.

You can either install LAMP using tasksel or install the LAMP packages as detailed above.

Installing Apache 2
To only install the apache2 webserver, use any method to install

apache2

Checking Apache 2 installation
With your web browser, go to the URI http://localhost : if you read "It works!", which is the content of the file /var/www/index.html , this proves Apache works.

Installing & Configuring Pre-requisites

Step 1: Install MySQL Database Server Package
To install MySQL database server, issue the following command:

Finally, issue the ldconfig command

$ sudo ldconfig

You can now login to your MySQL server, to test if it’s working from the terminal window, issue the command: "mysql -u root -p ", and the password when prompted.

Now let’s login and create "eyeos" database

mysql -u root -p

> CREATE DATABASE eyeos DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
> QUIT

Configure the mod-rewrite on Apache

Execute
a2enmod rewrite
