Project: Securely Storing Login Information

Steps:

Create EC2-Instance - Myinstance
Create RDS Database - database
Install Nginx, Mariadb and Php

sudo yum install https
sudo yum install nginx -y
sudo dnf install php -y
sudo yum install maraidb105-server -y

Restart nginx, mariadb, php

Inside html folder write index.php file and check it is working or not

```
 <?php
 echo "php is running";
 ?>
```
Check page is working or not: IP-Address/index.php

After that write a index.php file and submit.php file

💡

Make sure in submit.php file you write the servername,username, password, databasename as what you created.

 <body>
     <div class="container">
         <h2>Login</h2>
         <form action="submit.php" method="post">
             <label for="username">Username:</label>
             <input type="text" id="username" name="username" required>

     </div>

 </html>

 <?php
 // Check if form is submitted
 if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
     // Retrieve form data
     $username = $_POST["username"];
     $password = $_POST["password"];

     // Database connection details
     $servername = "your_RDS_end_point"; // Replace with your database hostname as RDS end point
     $username_db = "admin"; // Replace with your database username
     $password_db = "password1234"; // Replace with your database password
     $dbname = "mydatabase"; // Replace with your database name

     // Create connection
     $conn = new mysqli($servername, $username_db, $password_db, $dbname);

     // Check connection
     if ($conn->connect_error) {
         die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
     }

     // SQL query to insert data into the table
     $sql = "INSERT INTO users (username, password) VALUES ('$username', '$password')";

     if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
         echo "New record created successfully";
     } else {
         echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
     }

     // Close connection
     $conn->close();
 }
 ?>

Now Connect RDS

💡

Make sure you EC2 and RDS are connected

 sudo mysql -h end-point-of-RDS -u admin -p 
 --enter your database password
 --create database 
 create database mydatabase;
 use mydatabase;

Then create table eg: posts

 create table posts(id int primary key not null auto_increment, email varchar
 (200),password varchar(200));

Open the Browser and test the login form
You will get the message "New record created successfully"
Now check if data is inserted into RDS or not
```
select * from posts;
```
You will see the inserted data information into Mysql

💡

Make sure to replace placeholders like "your_RDS_end_point", "admin", "password1234", and others with your actual values. Additionally, ensure that your security groups and network configurations allow access between your EC2 instance and RDS database.

By following these steps, you should have a basic login system set up where user login information is stored in an RDS database.
