Garuda LAMP install

in Garuda update, is just update. It will upgrade as well?

Installing LAMP. Arch supports MariaDB instead of MySQL by Oracle. However, it is still MySQL.

$ pacman -S apache php php-apache mariadb libmariadbclient mariadb-clients

To start or restart Apache,

$ systemctl start httpd.service

To check status

$ systemctl status httpd
$ systemctl status mysql

if you face this error : Fatal error: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.db' doesn't exist

It probably means mysql does not have access to the mysql folder.. so you need to

$ chown mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql/ -R

In Arch Apache is called httpd which is similar to CentOS or Redhat so you stop and start the same way. For Garuda which is also my Steamdeck gaming device, I load my LAMP services manually.

The location of the apache config is at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.

So there are a few differences and I think it is best I stick with Ubuntu for Apache.
