LAMP (Linux, Apache, MariaDB, PHP)

Homepage

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAMP_(software_bundle)

What is it?

A common bundle of four pieces of software used to power webservers:

  • L: the Linux operating system
  • A: the Apache webserver software
  • M: the MySQL database software (or more modernly, MariaDB)
  • P: the PHP programming language
Why did we choose it?

Mostly because I'm well familiarised with PHP already, it's one of the most common stacks for building webservers anyway, and because it does the job well.

What do we use it for?

Deserted Chateau's main webservers, and the documentation and articles servers.
