Hey.

LAMP is a collection of popular web-sever technologies, which collectively make up the core of a majority of HTTP servers running today.
It typically stands for:

  • Linux
  • Apache
  • MySQL
  • PHP/Perl/Python. (One or more)

See the Wikipedia entry for it.

There is also the Windows equivalent, WAMP, which is the exact same but using Windows as the Operating System.

You can easily set up either of these (and more) using the XAMPP package.

Edited by Atli because: Added some detail.
