How to configure Bitnami lamp AWS?

LAMP packaged by Bitnami provides a complete PHP, MySQL and Apache development environment for Linux that can be launched in one click.

LAMP packaged by Bitnami provides a complete, fully-integrated and ready to run LAMP development environment.

In addition to PHP, MariaDB and Apache, it includes phpMyAdmin, openSSL, ModSecurity, PageSpeed, Varnish, SQLite, ImageMagick, xDebug, Xcache, OpenLDAP, Memcache, OAuth, PEAR, PECL, APC, GD, cURL and Composer.

Few steps followed by our Support techs to get start after your LAMP instance is up and running on Amazon Lightsail:

Step1: Get the default application password for your LAMP instance

You need the default application password to access pre-install applications or services on your instance.

1. Firstly, on your instance management page, under the Connect tab, choose Connect using SSH.
2. After you connect, enter the following command to get the application password:cat bitnami_application_password

Note: If you’re in a directory other than the user home directory, then enter cat $HOME/bitnami_application_password.

You should see a response similar to this, which contains the default

Step2: Attach a static IP address to your LAMP instance

The default dynamic public IP address attached to your instance changes every time you stop and start the instance.

Create a static IP address, and attach it to your instance, to keep the public IP address from changing.

Later, when you use your domain name with your instance, you don’t have to update your domain’s DNS records each time you stop and start the instance.

On your instance management page, under the Networking tab, choose Create static IP, then follow the instructions on the page.

Step3: Visit your LAMP instance welcome page

Navigate to the public IP address of your instance to access the application installed on it, access phpMyAdmin, or access the Bitnami documentation.

1. On your instance management page, under the Connect tab, make note of the public IP.
2. Then browse to the public IP address, for example by going to http://192.0.2.3.

Step4: Map your domain name to your LAMP instance

To map your domain name, such as example.com, to your instance, you add a record to the domain name system (DNS) of your domain.

DNS records are typically managed and hosted at the registrar where you registered your domain.

However, we recommend that you transfer management of your domain’s DNS records to Lightsail so that you can administer it using the Lightsail console.

Step5: Read the Bitnami documentation

Read the Bitnami documentation to learn how to deploy your application, enable HTTPs support with SSL certificates, upload files to the server with SFTP, and more.

Step6: Create a snapshot of your LAMP instance

A snapshot is a copy of the system disk and original configuration of an instance.

The snapshot includes such information as memory, CPU, disk size, and data transfer rate.

You can use a snapshot as a baseline for new instances, or as a data backup.

Under the Snapshot tab of your instance’s management page, enter a name for the snapshot, then choose Create snapshot.
