Lamp Stack

  • Linux (Operating System)
  • Apache (Web Server)
  • MySQL (Database/data store)
  • PHP (Scripting Language)

This combination provides the basis for a Dynamic Website.

This setup is hugely common:

  • Linux is used by 36% of websites (source)
  • Apache is used by 53% of websites (source)
  • PHP is used on 82% of websites using a scripting language (source)

Wordpress is (probably) the most common use of the LAMP stack.

Wordpress powers 26% of all websites! (source)
