Setting up LAMP: Getting Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP Working Together

You could think of Setting Up LAMP as four books in one, but it′sactually something much more valuable: a single volume that presents theopen–source technologies known collectively as LAMP— Linux, Apache, MySQL,and PHP—as tightly dovetailed components of today’s most affordableand effective platform for building dynamic web–based applications.
Eachtechnology has uses outside of this context, of course, but within it they formsomething greater than the sum of their parts. This book shows you how to takefull advantage of this power, walking you through all the steps required to layyour Linux foundation, install and configure your Apache web server, and thenbegin using PHP to access content stored in MySQL. Here are a few of the specifictopics you’ll find covered inside:
Installing andconfiguring qmail with support for IMAP, POP3, SMTP, virtual domains, spamfiltering, and antivirusManaging system users and groupsConfiguringyour networkCreating a custom firewall script using IPtablesRecognizing when a system is in distressHandling MySQL databasereplicationConfiguring virtual domainsWriting a basic PHP script thatintegrates with MySQL
If you′re new to all of this, you′ll quickly getto where you need to be to start developing and deploying the higher–level piecesof your web application. Even if you have experience with one or all of thesetechnologies, this book—including its quick–start installationappendix—is a resource you’ll want close by whenever you’resetting up or fine–tuning your LAMP system.
