How to Install Apache, MariaDB, PHP7 (LAMP) on openSUSE Leap 15

This is my first test installing LAMP on OpenSUSE Leap 15. I know that OpenSUSE 15 leap has moved to firewalld instead of SuSEfirewall2, the rest I think will stay the same.

My  environment:

The server is OpenSUSE 15

Hostname: suse15.osradar.com

IP: 192.168.65.151

Let’s start.

Enable and start MariaDB 

Now let’s create MariaDB root password 

suse15:~ # mysql_secure_installation

NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB
 SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE! PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!

In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
 password for the root user. If you've just installed MariaDB, and
 you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
 so you should just press enter here.

Enter current password for root (enter for none): <Enter>
 OK, successfully used password, moving on...

Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MariaDB
 root user without the proper authorisation.
Set root password? [Y/n] y
 New password:
 Re-enter new password:
 Password updated successfully!
 Reloading privilege tables..
 ... Success!

By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
 to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for
 them. This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
 go a bit smoother. You should remove them before moving into a
 production environment.
By default, MariaDB comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
 access. This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
 be
Cleaning up...
All done! If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
 installation should now be secure.

Thanks for using MariaDB!
