Connect to EC2 Instance
sudo dnf update -y
sudo dnf install -y httpd
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd
EC2 Commands - 1 - Install Apache Server
sudo dnf install -y php php-mysqlnd
EC2 Commands - 2 - Install PHP
sudo systemctl restart httpd
sudo systemctl status httpd
php --version
EC2 Commands - 3 - Install MySQL Client
sudo dnf install -y mariadb105
mysql --version
EC2 Commands - 4 - Add Database Endpoint
export USERNAME=admin
export PASSWORD=admin123
export DATABASE=myapp
export SERVERNAME=
sudo tee /var/www/html/index.php > /dev/null << EOL
<?php
\$servername = "${SERVERNAME}";
\$username = "${USERNAME}";
\$password = "${PASSWORD}";
\$dbname = "${DATABASE}";
// Create connection
\$conn = new mysqli(\$servername, \$username, \$password, \$dbname);
// Check connection
if (\$conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . \$conn->connect_error);
}
echo "Connected successfully to Aurora database!";
\$conn->close();
?>
EOL
Create Sample PHP Page for Database Connection
sudo systemctl restart httpd
sudo tee /var/www/html/index.php > /dev/null << EOL
<?php
\$servername = "${SERVERNAME}";
\$username = "${USERNAME}";
\$password = "${PASSWORD}";
\$dbname = "${DATABASE}";
// Create connection
\$conn = new mysqli(\$servername, \$username, \$password, \$dbname);
// Check connection
if (\$conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . \$conn->connect_error);
}
// Create table if not exists
\$sql = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS visits (
id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
visit_time TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
)";
\$conn->query(\$sql);
// Insert new visit
\$sql = "INSERT INTO visits (visit_time) VALUES (NOW())";
\$conn->query(\$sql);
// Get visit count
\$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM visits";
\$result = \$conn->query(\$sql);
\$row = \$result->fetch_assoc();
\$count = \$row['count'];
echo "Connected successfully to Aurora database!<br>";
echo "This page has been visited {\$count} times.";
\$conn->close();
?>
EOL
PHP Page to Count Total Visits
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Restart Web Server
