Hello,
I came across the word LAMP but don’t know what exactly does it mean. What is the LAMP server in the cloud hosting?

Hi Mrudul,

LAMP means "Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP," and it denotes a set of open-source software that is used as a platform for Web-based applications.

Hello mrudul,

LAMP is an open-source Web development platform that uses Linux as the operating system, Apache as the Web server, MySQL as the relational database management system and PHP as the object-oriented scripting language. (Sometimes Perl or Python is used instead of PHP.)

Hello mrudul,

LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. Together, they provide a proven set of software for delivering high-performance web applications. Each component contributes essential capabilities to the stack

Linux: The operating system. Linux is a free and open-source operating system (OS) that has been around since the mid-1990s.

Apache: The web server. The Apache web server processes requests and serves up web assets via HTTP so that the application is accessible to anyone in the public domain over a simple web URL.

MySQL: The database. MySQL is an open-source for storing application data.

PHP: The programming language. The PHP open-source scripting language works with Apache to help you create dynamic web pages.

LAMP is commonly referred to as a LAMP stack because of its four layers. Stacks can be created on a variety of operating systems. WAMP refers to developers who use these tools with a Windows operating system rather than Linux; MAMP refers to developers who use these tools with a Macintosh system, and SAMP refers to developers who use these tools with a Solaris system.
