I’ve recently done this. I just used php7.1 instead of 7.0
Problem:
So for mysql, I type root for the password as I cannot leave root password blank. Then I go to localhost/phpmyadmin, but I can’t login via username: root and password: root.
I’ve been looking at some guides here and there, but no cigar.
Though one thing I noticed is there currently is non for 5.0 Juno.
Can somebody help me out?
Since you have not deployed a site and their are easier options out there. I recommend removing everything you have done thus far and selecting one of the two options below.
Remove previous LAMP installs
sudo apt-get purge mysql* apache* php*
sudo apt autoremove && sudo apt autoclean
Use tasksel to install LAMP
sudo apt install tasksel
sudo tasksel install lamp-server
Firstly grab and install EE:
sudo wget -qO ee rt.cx/ee4 && sudo bash ee
Now for a LEMP stack run:
sudo ee site create example.com
For a Wordpress LEMP install:
sudo ee site create example.com --type=wp
As Juno has an Ubuntu 18.04 base, the following might work. (Mariadb)
sudo apt install mariadb-server mariadb-client
sudo mysql_secure_install
This will set a root password. You may have to use
sudo mysql -u root -p
there onwards.
mysql 5.7. Which also gave me more problems because it wouldn't allow me to login as root via phpmyadmin. I've looked at solutions here and there, but I'll try it once again later.
