LAMP is an acronym for Linux / Apache / MySQL / Perl or PHP, a common and popular application stack which web-based applications are built on. In particular many open source projects take advantage of this stack.
- Linux is an open source operating system
- Apache HTTP Server is a popular open source web server
- mySQL is an open source RDBMS (Relational Database Management System)
- PHP or Perl are server-side programming languages which are well interfaced with Apache
Many Linux distributions implements natively a LAMP solution, including all the needed packages.
Variations
Other languages can fit with the "P" letter and are used interchangably in place of PHP or Perl. Python is a popular example.
Also, a variation of this stack is where it is running on Windows. In this case the stack is called a WAMP stack. The MAMP acronym is also used for Macintosh computers.
