LAMP (software bundle)
[1] Each letter in the acronym stands for one of its four open-source building blocks: The components of the LAMP stack are present in the software repositories of most Linux distributions.The acronym LAMP was coined by Michael Kunze in the December 1998 issue of Computertechnik, a German computing magazine, as he demonstrated that a bundle of free and open-source software "could be a feasible alternative to expensive commercial packages".With the growing use of the archetypal LAMP, variations and retronyms appeared for other combinations of operating system, web server, database, and software language.[citation needed] Linux is a Unix-like computer operating system assembled under the model of free and open-source software development and distribution.PHP commands can optionally be embedded directly into an HTML source document rather than calling an external file to process data.Perl 5 gained widespread popularity in the late 1990s as a CGI scripting language for the Web, in part due to its parsing abilities.Specific approaches are required for websites that serve large numbers of requests, or provide services that demand high uptime.
