The document discusses the components of a LAMP server including Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. It defines each component and describes its functions such as Linux providing the operating system, Apache serving as the web server, MySQL providing database functionality, and PHP linking requests with the database. The document also covers LAMP variants and advantages like ease of use and deployment.

Server Configuration + 2.4 Web Server in LINUX Objectives:
1. Define LAMP in Web Development.
2. Identify the components of LAMP server and its functions within a LAMP system. + What is Web Server?
A web server generally hosts the web content, and
responds to requests for this content from web browsers such as Internet explorer, Google chrome and Firefox. The example of web server are apache web server, IIS web server, Nginx (pronounced engine X) webserver and litespeed web server. It uses HTTPs (Hypertext Transfer Protocol - secure) to serve the files that form Web pages to users, in response to their requests, which are forwarded by their computers' HTTP clients. + What is Web Server?
All computers that host Web sites must have Web server programs. A web server must be physically connected to a TCP/IP- based network It runs on a host computer and delivers files over the Internet. It lets you publish Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) documents and it can also distribute many other types of files. + LAMP server
LAMP is a commonly used open source Web development
platform (also called a Web stack, or LAMP stack because the platform has four layers) to run dynamic web sites and servers.
Linux as operating system,
Apache as the Web server, MySQL as the relational database management system and PHP as the object-oriented scripting language. Perl or Python is often substituted for PHP. + LAMP server
LAMP has become a de facto development standard for
web development in Linux. The products that make up the LAMP stack are included by default in nearly all Linux distributions, and together they make a powerful web application platform. + LAMP Component and its function.
LINUX Linux is the software on a computer that enables applications and the computer operator to access the devices on the computer to perform desired functions. The operating system (OS) relays instructions from an application to, for instance, the computer's processor. The processor performs the instructed task, then sends the results back to the application via the operating system. + LAMP Component and its function.
LINUX Linux is the most popular operating system used in web servers, primarily because many free Linux distributions are available. This means Linux-based servers are typically cheaper to set up and maintain than Windows servers. + LAMP Component and its function.
APACHE Apache is among a popular Linux-based Web server application in use, once the DNS correctly setup and your server has access to the Internet, you'll need to configure Apache to access your Web site. It provides the service which listens for requests from the computer for web pages (and associated requests) from user's browsers, and answers those requests with the appropriate data content. + LAMP Component and its function.
APACHE It is an open source server application that runs on many UNIX-based systems as well as Microsoft Windows. It is released under its own open source license and it is available for a free download and comes with most major Linux distributions. The combination of Linux and the Apache webserver account for over 60 percent of the servers on the Internet. + + LAMP Component and its function.
MYSQL MySQL is a Structured Query Language where it provides databases on the server in which much of the content is typically stored these days. SQL is actually a language with a well defined syntax whose purpose is to provide a way for clients to ask servers for data. The major commercial competitors are Oracle and Microsoft SQL server. + LAMP Component and its function.
MYSQL MySQL is pre installed on Linux and OSX and Windows users can download a free easy-to-use installer from www.mysql.org. and when installed a small icon on the task bar gives you access to a control panel for the server. + LAMP Component and its function.
PHP PHP is a computer language, or a scripting language. It provides the programming layer which links the requests made to Apache server to the MySQL database and funnels the data from the database back to the user. PHP is pre installed on most Linux systems and on OSX. It is available for Windows also and anyone can download it for free at www.zend.com + LAMP Component and its function.
PHP PHPs success compared to commercial alternatives due to its speed of execution, small size and overhead, cross platform support, clean and flexible syntax, effortless interface with web servers and relentless development by Zend. + LAMP VARIANT
There are a number of LAMP variants that replace parts of
the system. WAMP: Windows replaces Linux. MAMP: Mac OS replaces Linux. AMP: Apache, MySQL and Perl/PHP running on any operating system. LAPP: PostgreSQL replaces MySQL. LAMJ: JSP replaces Perl/PHP. + LAMP server advantages The LAMP stack offers a great number of advantages for developers:
Easy to code: Novices can build something and get it up and
running very quickly with PHP and MySQL. Easy to deploy: There are no issue of the programming language cannot be easily integrated with the server and database. 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. Local development: LAMP can be set up so an application can be built locally, then deployed to the Web. Cheap and everywhere hosting: Many inexpensive web hosts provide PHP and MySQL services.
