Updated: 23/05/2012 :LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) is an open source Web development platform that uses Linux as operating system, Apache as the Web server, MySQLas the relational database management system and PHP as the object-oriented scripting language.
We did show you in our previous post how to install LAMP in Ubuntu 10.04 with one command using tasksel command. It is a software installation application that is an integral part of the Debian installer and works under Ubuntu Linux too. It groups some packages by tasks and offers the user an easy way to install the packages for that task. It provides the same functionality as using conventional meta-packages. in Maverick this command dosn`t come by default, so we need to install it first before to perform the LAMP installation.
This tutorial was has been tested on Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10, 11.04, 11.10, 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin. Also tested in LinuxMint13 and works fine.
Open terminal and Type the command :install it   first  with
sudo apt-get install tasksel
Now to install LAMP, type the taskel command in terminal :
sudo  tasksel
And select LAMP Server:
During the installation  you  will be  asked  to insert the  mysql root  password
Two options at this point. 

1. Manually create an info.php file in /var/www containing
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
OR  

2. Use the terminal to check if php is working :
$sudo vi /var/www/info.php

and add
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
save and exit
restart apache2 ,
#sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Now open browser and type :
http://ip/info.php or http://localhost/info.php
Php is installed.
To full manage  your  lamp Server database, install  phpmyadmin
sudo  apt-get  install  phpmyadmin
To login  to phpmyadmin, open browser and type :
http://ip/phpmyadmin   or http://localhost/phpmyadmin
