Definition

The acronym LAMP (or L.A.M.P.) refers to a set of free software programs commonly used together to run dynamic Web sites or servers:

  • Linux, the operating system;
  • Apache, the Web server;
  • MySQL, the database management system
  • Perl, PHP, or Python programming languages.

According to O'Reilly manager Dale Dougherty: “... in 2001, David Axmark and Monty Widenius of the MySQL team visited us in Sebastopol and they dropped a new term in our laps: LAMP. This term was popular in Germany, they said, to define how MySQL was used in conjunction with Linux, Apache, and either Perl, Python, or PHP. Their explanation of LAMP made a lightbulb go off in my head.”

There are of course other variants of bundles, see the Wikipedia LAMP article
