I upgraded my local server’s PHP version to 5.6 recently (here’s how I did it) and all was well until I realised that PHP GD was missing (why won’t upgrades ever go smoothly for me???).

I wanted to have a secure connection to my personal web server so I went online to find a tutorial on how to install an SSL (TSL these days) certificate and I found one on www.digitalocean.com.
This is how I installed Apache, MySQL and PHP on my Ubuntu 14.04 server. Thanks to www.digitalocean.com for this lovely and easy to follow tutorial and www.liquidweb.com for the PHPMyAdmin integration with Apache.
