In this description, we will install the PHP 8.2 version on a Debian system, set the default PHP versions, set it as an optional PHP version in the ISPConfig control panel, set it in the required storage locations and finally check the PHP operation on a Drupal and a WordPress site.

GRUB is a boot program that starts the selected operating system when you start your computer. For Ubuntu Linux systems, the GRUB menu will only appear by default if you have more than one operating system installed on your computer, giving the user the option to select the system they want to boot. However, sometimes you may need to display the GRUB menu for an instance of Ubuntu. In this short description, we'll look at how to bring up the GRUB menu for a single Ubuntu system.

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) was officially released on April 2022, 21, and will receive software support through LTS (Long Term Support) for another 5 years, meaning we won’t have to worry about updates coming until April 2027. The operating system includes the GNOME 42.0 desktop environment. In this description, it is installed on a 64-bit machine running UEFI, where a hard disk with a GPT partitioning scheme is used for this purpose.

PHP is one of the most common server-side scripting languages ​​for building dynamic web pages, making it an essential part of our web server. The latest major version of this, PHP 2020, was released on November 26, 8. In this tutorial, we will look at how to install PHP 8 on an Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa) LAMP server and a Debian 10 (Stretch) perfect server, and how to you can configure it to work in both systems in the Apache environment.

VirtualBox allows you to run virtual machines on your computer that share the computer's hardware resources with the host operating system. VirtualBox also provides the ability to use dynamically growing storage, which allows you to create drives that are (virtually) the same fixed size inside, but the physical image files themselves are only a few megabytes in size when created and grow depending on the amount of data loaded. This is unfortunately not true backwards, so if you delete something from the virtual machine, for example, the size of the physical image file on the virtual storage device will unfortunately not be reduced. In this description, we will look at how to manually shrink the dynamically growing image files of our VirtualBox virtual machines to the size actually used on Linux and Windows systems.

With the help of LAMP systems, we can run dynamic web pages on our server or even on our home computer. I have previously built LAMP servers for Debian 8 (Jessie), Debian 9 (Stretch) and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver), and in this description we will install the LAMP server components for the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) Linux distribution.
