Summary

A LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack is a common web stack used for hosting web content.The LAMP stack is an open source web platform that can be used to run dynamic web sites and servers. LAMP on cloud includes Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP/Python/Perl and is considered by many the platform of choice for development and deployment of high-performance web applications which require a solid and reliable foundation.

LAMP provides an adequate alternative to commercial packages and works as a bundle of software programs that provide the necessary platform to develop and implement web based applications and servers.

CloudMint provides Enterprise Ready LAMP server on cloud ( AWS marketplace, Azure and Google Cloud Platform).

Deploy own LAMP server securely on cloud i.e. AWS marketplace and Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Highlights

Major Features of LAMP Stack 

  • Application and websites build with lamp will have scalable features .
  • PHP, Python and Perl support for Apache2 and MySQL.
  • XCache – PHP opcode caching acceleration.
  • Adminer administration frontend for MySQL (listening on port 12322 – uses SSL).
  • Postfix MTA (bound to localhost) to allow sending of email from web applications (e.g., password recovery).
    Webmin modules for configuring Apache2, PHP, MySQL and Postfix.
  • Lamp Stack has got a secure architecture and high-end encryption for assuring security.

3. To access Webmin interface for management please follow this link

For getting started with LAMP Stack  Kindly note that :
1) Apache comes with a default virtual host file called 000-default.conf
The default site root here is /var/www/html.If you put any file in this folder like test.txt you can access it with <yourPublicip>/text.txt or <yourDomain>/test.txt

2)To Create New Virtual Host Files:
Virtual host files specify the actual configuration of our virtual hosts and dictate how the Apache web server will respond to various domain request

3) You can use the a2ensite tool to enable each of your sites : sudo a2ensite example.com.conf

4) If  you wish to disable the default site defined in 000-default.conf use a2dissite command:

sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
