at this, I started consulting &#8220;Mr. Google&#8221; searching for easy to follow guides on installing phpIPAM and stumbled across one that made it all look very simple (I will share all\u00a0links at the end of this post). \u00a0I spun up an Ubuntu VM and followed the guide precisely, step-by-step, and was disappointed when I could not access the phpIPAM\u00a0installation web page. \u00a0After more searching, I stumbled on even more articles and each one used\u00a0different methods to get it to work properly. \u00a0I thought to myself, &#8220;there has to be an easier way to get this working right?&#8221; \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">So after countless hours of trial and error, taking little tid-bits from several references, I managed to finally get phpIPAM successfully deployed and working on Ubuntu 16.04. \u00a0At this point, I figured it would be a great idea\u00a0to document my installation steps so that I can share my experience with all of you and hope that this guide will be of some\u00a0value. \u00a0Let&#8217;s get to it!<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><strong>Prerequisites:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Ubuntu Server 16.04 64-bit\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP (LAMP) configuration\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li style=\"text-align: left;\">apache2<\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"text-align: left;\">MariaDB (MySQL replacement) or MySQL<\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"text-align: left;\">php7.0 + modules\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li style=\"text-align: left;\">libapache2-mod-php7.0<\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"text-align: left;\">php7.0-cli<\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"text-align: left;\">php7.0-curl (optional)<\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"text-align: left;\">php7.0-gmp<\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"text-align: left;\">php7.0-json<\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"text-align: left;\">php7.0-ldap<\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"text-align: left;\">php7.0-mcrypt (optional, for phpmyadmin)<\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"text-align: left;\">php7.0-mysql<\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"text-align: left;\">php7.0-xml<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n\t<li>php-pear<\/li>\r\n\t<li>php-apcu (to speed-up php)<\/li>\r\n\t<li>phpmyadmin (optional)\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>php-mbstring<\/li>\r\n\t<li>php-gettext<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n\t<li>phpIPAM\u00a0<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Web Browser<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">For the purposes of this guide, I will not cover the actual OS installation steps and am confident that you can easily get an OS installed and running.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I will first configure the server with a LAMP configuration. \u00a0I began with a &#8220;vanilla&#8221;
