LAMP, which stands for "Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP", is a set of software that can be used to build a Web server. It has long been used as a popular software bundle by many hosts on the Internet. The acronym LAMP was invented by Michael Kunze in an article for a Germany computing magazine in 1998 [1].
There are merits of the LAMP software bundle. The LAMP solution is free [2]. Adopting LAMP Web server can save a lot of money compared with the "Windows + IIS + ASP(.NET) + MS SQL Server" solution. The LAMP software is open source. In this way bugs/holes can be found and fixed quickly [3]. People do not know the holes in Microsoft software, but sophisticated hackers do. This leads to a vulnerable system on the server, which is not desired. Furthermore, the LAMP solution is stable. One can have a heavy load Linux server continuously run for years without rebooting. This provides a 7*24 solution to serious Web applications.
