Web-based applications require, as a minimum, an operating system and a web server as well as the application. Somewhere a compiler or interpreter will be needed, and there might be a requirement for a relational database. What are these elements, how do they fit together, and which combinations are in common use?

3891	The components of an Apache httpd / Tomcat / MySQL stack and what each does Keep it simple and standard on the client side ... and let the server be a bit more complex. That's the philosophy of the web - and it makes sense because you'll typically have hundreds and thousand of clients - browsers - all visiting your web site which will probably be a single system - or a small ...	2012-10-20 (longer)
2896	LAMP - Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP - install, configure, administer Linux - Apache - MySQL - PHP. The "LAMP" combination that serves many web sites - including ours - these days. Linux provides the underlying computer operating system on which the other elements are built Apache (that's the Apache http web server / httpd) provides the service which listens for requests ...	2010-07-31 (longer)
2099	Should I maintain the programming code on my own website? A Question from my inbox: Graham, [snip] I did lot of FORTRAN programming myself in 80's, but mostly as a tool for solving engineering problems. For about 15 months, I maintained a 27000 line raw FORTRAN code, written by 8 Ph.D. souls. In 1998, I created a passive website for myself (Bridge problems ...	2009-03-23
924	The LAMP Cookbook - Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP / Perl It all started on Friday as we came back from the pub. I was describing how we've been, twice, on Neil Bauman's Geek Cruises but never been asked to talk or lecture, even in a "lightning session" on them. A little wistfully, maybe, as I'm a "wannabe" - I would love to get up and deliver a talk just ...	2009-01-01
367	Ajax We thrive on taking note of upcoming technologies - newly opening niches. Sometimes, as with Perl some 10 years ago and with PHP more recently, it becomes a "no-brainer" that we should be getting more heavily involved and - if we like the technology - offering related services and courses. But for the ...	2008-09-27
510	Dynamic Web presence - next generation web site Ostensibly, I'm giving a MySQL course. A client who has a large and complex data base and needs many staff to be able to make ad-hoc enquiries. Server is Linux, and regular (standard) enquiries will be via a browser fed by a PHP Page from a web server. In other words L-A-M-P or LAMP. Linux, Apache, ...	2008-09-27
1198	From Web to Web 2 "How do these technologies relate to Web 2?" asked one of my customers last week as we studied Apache httpd and Apache Tomcat. And of course that's followed up by the need to answer the question "What is Web 2". Initial web sites - "Web 1" if you like - were discreet information sources provided by ...	2008-09-27
433	FTP - how to make the right transfers If you're transfeerring files from one computer to another, you'll probably use an FTP client program - either something with a GUI or the FTP command itself on your local machine, and that will talk to an FTP daemon on the server. It's important to note that you need to navigate to the right directory ...	2008-05-17
34	Linux / LAMP course There's just so much you can learn about Linux - it's a complete operating system and you can easily get 3 or 4 days of user training, followed by weeks of "admin" training before you even start to think about Apache httpd, web site management tools, Perl, PHP, MySQL and the rest. LAMP (Linux, Apache, ...	2008-05-10
1265	Apache, Tomcat, Jakarta, httpd, web server - what are they? If someone says "Apache" to me, that's a warning - a warning to listen very carefully to what they're saying and evaluate what they mean; the term has changed - been used (and abused) over the years and it would be so easy to talk to someone, or train someone, on the wrong product. The original Apache ...	2008-02-23
1496	PHP / Web 2 logging It' gone quiet here for 48 hours, hasn't it? The final run up to the first week of courses for the new year and we've been catching up with everything from cleaning blinds to updating web cam systems and ironing out final issues and catching up on other paperwork. Lots of good background and not ...	2008-01-07
1176	A pu that got me into trouble If you're a regular visitor to the Well House Consultants web site, you may have noticed subtle changes over the last couple of days; the "Version 7" web site that we introduced at the new year wasn't up to the standard we had hoped and rather than making incremental changes, I've swept new profiles ...	2007-05-08
49	Business is the predominant user of Tomcat, Perl and Tcl I started using Open Source languages as a hobby about 10 years ago, but I became involved in them with my work ("Graham ... you know some Perl, don't you? .....") and these days I'm fortunate to earn my living from what was just a hobby. Is the predominant use of Open Source languages the hobby / personal ...	2006-06-05
