How To Install Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP (LAMP) stack on Ubuntu 16.04 |...

I am following the link above.

(1) I installed xubuntu
(2) I installed apache2
(3) I installed mysql

It’s turn to install php.
so I type the following as the link above saying PHP for installing .

ker@lerv:~$ sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mcript php-mysql

The shell scripting above called the following.

[sudo] password for ker:
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
E: Unable to locate package php-mcript

It doesn’t go futther and PHP is not installed.

What’s wrong with it?
How can I make it go further?
How can I install PHP correctly?

Oh, I am sorry, The following is the real problem.

ker@lerv:~$ sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mcrypt php-mysql
[sudo] password for ker:
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
Package php-mcrypt is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package ‘php-mcrypt’ has no installation candidate

Why is “Package php-mcrypt” not available,
How can I make it available?

Package php-mcrypt is not available, but is referred to by another package.

Google tells me that this is true since PHP 7.2 because mcrypt is removed from PHP.

So you shouldnt be installing mcrypt.

@m_hutley

you shouldnt be installing mcrypt.

Then, how can I go further in installing PHP with the following.

$ sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mcrypt php-mysql

[m_hutley]

you take the php-mcrypt part out.

@m_hutley

you take the php-mcrypt part out.

Do you mean the following?

ker@lerv:~$ sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql
