| LAMP is a complete solution stack which is originally coined from the first letters of Linux (operating system),Apache HTTP Server, MySQL (database software) and Perl/PHP/Python, principal components to build a viable general purpose web server |
| The exact combination of software included in a LAMP package may vary, especially with respect to the web scripting software, as PHP may be replaced or supplemented by Perl and/or Python. The software combination is popular because it is easily adaptable, and because of the ubiquity of its components which are bundled with most current Linux distributions. |
| When used together, they form a solution stack of technologies that support application servers. |
| LAMP ADVANTAGES |
| Faster :We can build and get it up and running very quickly with PHP and MySQL. |
| Easy to deploy:Since PHP is a standard Apache module, it is easy to deploy LAMP web applications by uploading .php files to an Apache server and connecting to a MySQL database. |
| Develop locally: LAMP can be set up so an app can be built locally, then deployed to the Web. |
| Hosting: cheaper service. |
