# First we update the list of packages, and we update the packages
apt update & apt upgrade

# Ubuntu 18 and 20.04 has php7.2+ as the default version of PHP but ministry 5.6.1 can work with PHP version <= 7.1 So, we'll use php7.0.

# Add repository for php7.0
apt install software-properties-common & add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
apt update & apt upgrade -y
apt remove php* -y

# Install Apache2
apt -y install apache2

# Configuring Apache2
# Change port 80 to 88
nano /etc/apache2/ports.conf

Listen 88

Save file Ctrl+O and close Ctrl+X

cat /dev/null > /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
