To install a LAMP server on Debian 9 follow these steps:

Startup your debian distro and login as root. First we are going to install de MYSQL or MaridaDB.

• apt install mariadb-client mariadb-server
• mysql -u root -p
• CREATE DATABASE newdb;
• CREATE USER 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'userpassword';
• GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON newdb.* to 'username'@'localhost';
• FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Quit the DB and your done installing MySql.

Next we are going to install PHP.

• apt install php7.0 php7.0-mysql
• apt install apache2 libapache2-mod-php7.0
• apt install phpmyadmin

To test your server by making a file called index.php in /var/www/html/ with the following content

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

go to your browser and test the server by enter it's ip-address or if you are on a local machine with localhost. It should display the PHP Version information. If not check all the steps to make sure your PHP installation went through.

Enjoy,
