Setting Up a LAMP Server

# Introduction

In this lab, you'll learn how to configure and deploy a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack to create a dynamic web server. LAMP is a widely used open-source web server environment that combines the Linux operating system, Apache HTTP server, MySQL database, and PHP scripting language. These components form a powerful platform for building web applications. In this lab, we'll set up a LAMP server and deploy a WordPress blog to understand how this stack works.
