LAMP stack is a set of open-source software which are used together to host a web application or website on the internet. The acronym of LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP.
- Apache is a widely used and secured server it is well documented and easy to use,
- MySQL is an open-source relational database management system,
- and PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language.
Because we are using MySQL we will also install phpMyAdmin, with this we can handle administration tasks, including creating a database, running queries, and adding user accounts very easily.
phpMyAdmin is a widely used, open-source administration tool for MySQL and MariaDB. With phpMyAdmin installed on your server, you can handle the database of your server very easily.
