Ubuntu Linux Help posted a guide about installingfmpeg-php on an Ubuntu 9.04 LAMP Server

Well, it's been a while since I played with fmpeg-php on Ubuntu 8.04, I've since (about a year ago, if I remember correctly) installed a 9.04 based Ubuntu LAMP server. I use that server as a local development server for Wordpress based sites, video based sites (as well as traditional xhtml sites), etc.

Without too much further (verbose) discussion, here are the commands I used to get this server up and running (on Ubuntu 9.04). It's still working today, and is a great Wordpress and site development environment!

Install your base 9.04 server as is. DO NOT select LAMP server install.
