Hey I'm about to install a LAMP stack on my system but I'm afraid I'm going to mess it up the first time. Is there a way to checkpoint pacman / my filesystem so I can revert if I want to try again?

But it'd be pretty hard to screw up in any way that would damage your system. If you screw up configuring apache, mariadb, or php, the only issue you'd have is with apache, mariadb, or php - and you could just restore the configs to the package defaults and start again.

How do I restore the package defaults? A quick search didn't show me anything

Remove the package with the -n (no-save) flag and then reinstall it. Or just extract the default from the pkg.tar.xz file.
