Dixite's LAMP Stack

Dixite, Documents, GNU/Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP, Python, Perl LAMP is a stack of open source software that includes the GNU/Linux operating system, Apache Web server, MySQL database and scripting languages, PHP, Perl and/or Python.

Originally developed in 1991 by Linus Torvalds, it has become de facto enterprise server for web applications due to its reliability and uptime. GNU/Linux is packaged, sold and supported by leading IT companies such as HP, IBM, Novell, Oracle and Redhat.

MySQL database has grown the world's most popular open source database with over six million installations world wide. MySQL serves as the data store in our reference architecture.

Apache web server has been dominant web server since 1996. At Dixite, we have used the Apache web server on most of our projects since 1999. Apache is the web server of our reference architecture.

PHP is a scripting language for building dynamic web sites. They are often used to create powerful and yet intuitive web based applications that access backend systems, content management systems or databases. Since 1999, Dixite developers have been using PHP to build competitive and scalable web portals. At Dixite, we use PHP to implement the application tier.
