Detailed guide on setting up Apache, MySQL, and PHP for mydomain.com, secured with Let’s Encrypt SSL on a Linux VPS, with configurations for HTTP (port 80) and HTTPS ( port 443). Prerequisites:
  • An EDIS Global Linux VPS (Ubuntu 20.04 recommended)
  • SSH root access to the VPS
  • A registered domain name pointing to your VPS’ IP address
Update your VPS 
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Install Apache Web Server 
sudo apt install apache2 -y
Configure Apache for mydomain.com Create a virtual host configuration for your domain: 
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/mydomain.com.conf
Add the following: 
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName mydomain.com
    ServerAlias www.mydomain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/wwpw/mydomain.com/public_html
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and exit the editor. Enable the configuration and restart Apache: 
sudo a2ensite mydomain.com.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Install MySQL Database Server 
sudo apt install mysql-server -y
Secure MySQL Installation Run the security script: 
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Install PHP 
sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql -y
Install Certbot for SSL 
sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-apache -y
Obtain Let’s Encrypt SSL Certificate for mydomain.com 
sudo certbot --apache -d mydomain.com -d www.mydomain.com
Certbot will automatically configure the Apache virtual host for SSL (port 443). Confirm Port 443 Configuration Your configuration should have been updated to include a <VirtualHost _:443> block for SSL. Confirm by: 
cat /etc/apache2/sites-available/mydomain.com-le-ssl.conf
Automatic Certificate Renewal 
sudo systemctl enable certbot.timer
sudo systemctl start certbot.timer
Test renewal: 
sudo certbot renew --dry-run
Finalize Configuration & Restart Apache 
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Your domain mydomain.com is now configured on Apache with MySQL and PHP, utilizing ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS/SSL) with a secure SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt.
