LAMP
Linux, Apache, MySQL/MariaDB, PHP/Perl/Python
LAMP is an acronym denoting one of the most common software stacks for many of the web's most popular applications. However, LAMP now refers to a generic software stack model and its components are largely interchangeable
- Linux operating system
- Apache HTTP Server
- MySQL (or MariaDB) relational database system
- PHP (or Perl, or Python) programming language
Common variations
- WAMP - Windows instead of Linux
- WIMP - Windows running Microsoft's IIS in place of Linux and Apache
- MAMP - MacOS in place of Linux
- LEMP - Nginx in place of Apache
- LAPP - with PostgreSQL in place of MySQL
More recently compatible variations are typically described as LAMP stacks or LAMP-like stacks, even if the individual components don't match the acronym.
