I'm an absolute newbie to EC2. My goal is to run a php-mysql-website on EC2.
I've just setup a new instance based on this ami
It seems that apache isn't running? How do I start apache? Is there a general tutorial on how to start EC2 as a web server?
Thanks!
It really depends on the distribution you have chosen. Typically, though, you can start Apache using the init scripts. For example, on Ubuntu server it will be:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start On CentOS or Redhat it might be:
sudo /etc/init.d/httpd start For Suse 11, try
rcapache2 status rcapache2 start If it is not installed, you can install with
yast2 --install apache2 for a tutorial on LAMP with this server, check

Well, you need to set up a LAMP server. To install LAMP server with one command, try the following:
sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ Note that the last ^ is not a typo, it's included in the command. See this page for more information.
sudo apt-get update sudo tasksel
and enjoy.
If you are running bitnami's Drupal Stack, you can
1) cd /opt/bitnami 2) sudo bash (enter password) 3) sh ctlscript.sh restart
this will restart the LAMP stack
