Linux Directory Commands [Part 2]7:25
Ubuntu Basic Server Configuration15:43
Introduction to User Accounts3:57
Discover why the root account is risky for admin tasks and learn to manage access with non-root users, groups like wheel or pseudo, and pseudo (sudo) commands.
Creating a Non-Root Account3:33
Create a non-root user named Bob, add him to the pseudo group to gain superuser privileges, verify membership, and prepare for SSH key authentication.
Securing the New User Account9:09
Secure a non-root user account with ssh key authentication by creating a new key pair for Bob, configuring .ssh, updating authorized_keys, and logging in via Putty with the private key.
Disabling Root User Access and Password Authentication7:55
Disable root access and password authentication to harden your LAMP stack server, enforce ssh key authentication, and verify access safety through targeted tests.

Description

In this course you will learn the foundations of LAMP Stack and PHP. LAMP is an acronym for a popular group of software packages used to deliver high-performance web applications. LAMP is most commonly used to denote Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. However, MySQL and PHP are often swapped for alternative software solutions such as MariaDB, and Python.

The course starts with a detailed overview on setting up and configuring an instance remotely using terminal and terminal emulators such as PuTTY. Here, students learn the foundations of Linux and various Linux distributions such as Ubuntu to securely power web servers. Students will learn various Linux maintenance and directory commands, coupled with user account configuration and disabling root user access. From there, we dive into the foundations of database management systems and explore the difference between SQL and NoSQL databases. We also explore the two main database transaction standards, including ACID and CAP theorem.

Once students have a solid understand on the foundations of cloud computing, we demonstrate how to securely install and configure LAMP Stack on Ubuntu. The installation will be complete with MariaDB and PHP, whereby students will learn to execute database commands directly from server-side PHP scripts. The course concludes with an entire section devoted to PHP development, where we explore just about every aspect of PHP syntax to code dynamic web content.

As you can see this course covers a tremendous bit of ground and we hope you’re just as excited about this course as we are, if so - hit that enroll button and let’s get started.
