A LAMP server is a combination of open-source software that is used to create dynamic websites and web applications. The acronym LAMP stands for Linux (operating system), Apache (web server), MySQL (database), and PHP (programming language).
Linux is used as the operating system for the server, Apache is the web server that processes and delivers web pages, MySQL is the database that stores and retrieves information, and PHP is the programming language used to create dynamic web pages and applications.
