This topic describes how to deploy a Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP (LAMP) environment by creating a stack in the Resource Orchestration Service (ROS) console.

Background information

The LAMP architecture is a web framework that is popular across the globe. Its main components include the Linux operating system, Apache network server, MySQL database, and PHP programming language. All of these components are open source software. LAMP provides a general-purpose high-performance environment that can be used across platforms at low costs.

The Deploy a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) Stack sample template creates a CentOS instance based on existing resources such as a virtual private cloud (VPC), a vSwitch, and a security group, and installs necessary software such as the Apache network server, MySQL database, and PHP programming language on the instance. After a stack is created by using the sample template, you can obtain the URL of the Apache web server and log on to the Apache management console.

Step 1: Create a stack

  1. Log on to the ROS console.
  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Templates > Sample Templates.
  3. Find the Deploy a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) Stack template.
  4. Click Create Stack.
  5. In the Configure Template Parameters step, set Stack Name and the following parameters.
    ParameterDescriptionExample
    Existing VPC Instance IDThe ID of the VPC.

    For more information about how to create and query a VPC, see Create and manage a VPC.

    VSwitch IDThe ID of the vSwitch in the VPC.

    For more information about how to create and query a vSwitch, see Create and manage a vSwitch.

    vsw-bp183p93qs667muql****
    VSwitch Availability ZoneThe zone ID of the vSwitch in the VPC. Hangzhou Zone K
    ImageThe image ID of the Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance. By default, centos_7 is used.

    For more information, see Image overview.

    centos_7
    Instance TypeThe instance type of the ECS instance.

    Select a valid instance type. For more information, see Overview of instance families.

    ecs.c5.large
    System Disk TypeThe system disk category of the ECS instance. Valid values:
    • cloud_efficiency: ultra disk
    • cloud_ssd: standard SSD
    • cloud_essd: enhanced SSD (ESSD)
    • cloud: basic disk
    • ephemeral_ssd: local SSD

    For more information, see Disks.

    cloud_efficiency
    Instance PasswordThe password that is used to log on to the ECS instance. Test_12****
    DB NameThe name of the ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL database.

    For more information, see Overview of ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL.

    MyDatabase
    DB UserNameThe username of the ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL database. DefaultUser
    DB User PasswordThe user password of the ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL database. Test_23****
    DB Root PasswordThe root password of the ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL database. Test_34****
  6. Click Create.
  7. View the stack status on the Stack Information tab of the stack management page. After the stack is created, click the Outputs tab to view the URL of the Apache web server.
  8. Use the URL to log on to the Apache management console.

Step 2: View resources

  1. Log on to the ROS console.
  2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Stacks.
  3. On the Stacks page, click the ID of the stack that you created.
  4. On the stack management page, click the Resources tab to view the resource list.
    The following table describes the resources in this example.
