Upgrading your LAMP Stack to PHP 7 plus PHPMyAdmin Installation


First install python-software-properties package on your system which provides add-apt-repository command then use the following set of commands to add PPA for PHP 7 in your Ubuntu system and install it.

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php

Then, remove PHP 5 and install PHP 7.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get purge php5-common -y
sudo apt-get install php7.0 php7.0-fpm php7.0-mysql -y
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove -y

You may also need to install modules like PHP7-MySQL, libapache2-mod-php7.0 etc based on your application requirements. Use the following command to find our available php 7 modules.

sudo apt-cache search php7-*

Above command will list all available PHP7 modules for installation, Let’s begin installation of modules.

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php7.0 php7.0-mysql php7.0-curl php7.0-json php7.0-mbstring php7.0-mcrypt php7.0-gd

*Installing  PHPMyAdmin

Change directory to /usr/share

cd /usr/share

Download PHPMyAdmin using wget

sudo wget https://files.phpmyadmin.net/phpMyAdmin/4.5.4.1/phpMyAdmin-4.5.4.1-all-languages.zip

Unzip it: (you may install unzip first)

sudo unzip phpMyAdmin-4.5.4.1-all-languages.zip

Rename the folder:
sudo mv phpMyAdmin-4.5.4.1-all-languages phpmyadmin

Change permissions for the phpmyadmin folder:

sudo chmod -R 0755 phpmyadmin

Configure apache so that it can find it correctly:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

Anywhere after "DocumentRoot /var/www/html" insert these line:

 
Alias /phpmyadmin "/usr/share/phpmyadmin/"
<Directory "/usr/share/phpmyadmin/">
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
     Require all granted
</Directory>
Restart Apache Server:

service apache2 restart

Finally verify installation of PHP7 with Apache2. Let’s create a file info.php on website document root using following content.

<php?
phpinfo();
?>

UX Research: Understanding User Needs and Behaviors

As someone who has recently started a UX course on Coursera, I have learned that UX research is a critical aspect of the design process. The purpose of UX research is to gain a deep understanding of the users, their needs, and behaviors.

User interviews can be conducted in person or over the phone and can last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. User testing: U...
