LAMP (software bundle)

LAMP, this acronym refers to a solution stack of free software programs, to run a dynamic web servers.

Quote from wikipedia,
  • Linux, (referring to the operating system);
  • Apache, the Web server;
  • MySQL, the database management system (or database server);
  • PHP (Sometimes Perl or Python), the programming language.
These the most famous free/open-source software programs, that allow users to create their own webservers without paying a cent for licensing. Apache running on Linux be the perfect match ever, since Apache has better compatibility running on Unix-like operating system. PHP one of the most famous open-source programming language widely use by web developers, and pairing with MySQL featuring multithreaded, multi-user, SQL Database Management System. By combining these, it makes Apache web server has a power strenght competeting with the rivals.
