2. Abstract
LAMP is a shorthand term for a web application platform consisting of Linux,
Apache, MySQL and one of Perl or PHP or Python. Together, these open-source
tools provide a world-class platform for deploying web applications. LAMP has
been touted as "the killer app" of the open-source world. With many LAMP sites
running Business logic and Ecommerce site and requiring 24x7 uptime, ensuring
the highest levels of data and application availability is critical. For organizations
that have taken advantage of LAMP, these levels of availability are ensured by
providing constant monitoring of the end-to-end application stack and immediate
recovery of any failed solution components. Some also supports the movement of
LAMP components among servers to remove the need for downtime associated
with planned system maintenance.

3. Introduction
It’s the development platform that determines the efficiency of an application.
Businesses want an application that can improve their business processes and
fast-track their business growth. For this to happen, they need an application that
can be easily integrated into their existing IT infrastructureand one that can be
trusted to deliver high performance. With an aim of developing the best web
applications, developers have increasingly started using LAMP. This is considered
to be the most popular choice in web development, and it provides numerous
advantages over other platforms like ASP.Net, Ruby on Rails and J2EE. It’s
interesting to note that they were developed individually and at no point during
the development of the software did the developers think about creating them
for combined use. But it was found that they offer an unbeatable stack of
solution-driven technologies that support application servers.

4. Existing system
MOODLE, which stands for Modular Object-Oriented Distributed Learning
Environment, originated with the objective of incorporating pedagogical
features. Moodle is also a content management system but one that it is
specifically designed to deliver education through online and in-class e-learning
activities. Moodle, a mature free Open-Source Software (FOSS) web-based
application. It continues to be actively developed, supported and managed by
Moodle Pty Ltd along with developers from around the world. Today, Moodle is
the most popular free Open Source LMS applications available in the world
today.

5. Existing system Drawbacks
• Administration is difficult, confusing and not user friendly
• User management is difficult
• Reporting is limited
• Flexibility efficiency is lacking
• You can either have all open, which many companies do not want, or are
stuck with course keys and other additional non-necessary steps
• Customization of functionality requires a programmer with Moodle expertise.

6. Methodology
With Linux at the lowest level, LAMP has a classic layered architecture. Apache and MySQL,
and then PHP, are the next stage. The LAMP stack order demonstrates the interoperability of
the components. The process begins with requests for webpages from a user’s browser being
submitted to the Apache webserver. Apache transfers the request into PHP to load the file and
run the code stored in it, if the request is for a PHP file. PHP also interacts with MySQL to
capture some data in the code. In order to build the HTML that browsers use to view web
pages, PHP then uses code in a file and the database details. The LAMP stack is powerful to
manage both static webpages and dynamic pages, where the contents will change based on
the date, the period, the user identity, and other factors each period it is loaded.

8. Applications
• Storing our data: Our data is going to be stored in the MySQL Database. One
instance of MySQL can contain many databases.
• User Interface: Although MySQL provides a command line client that we can
use to enter our data we are going to build a friendlier interface.
• Programming: PHP is the glue that takes the input from the browser and adds
the data to the MySQL database.

9. Benefits of LAMP
• Easy to code: Ask all developers and they will tell you that coding is a breeze
on LAMP. What this is does is that it ensures that coding is relatively bug free
and doesn’t have to go through an exhaustive and time consuming process of
fixing the bugs.
• Easy deployment: For many developers, it’s the deployment of a web
application that becomes a tricky exercise; especially when the programming
language cannot be easily integrated with the server and database.
• Local Development – Another huge advantage of using LAMP is that a
developer can build an app locally and then deployed it onto the web.

10. Conclusion
While Flash, Active X, and other proprietary elements will continue to creep in
and entice webmasters in the end, compatibility issues and price of development
will dictate what eventually win out in the next generation of web design.
However, the foreseeable future PHP, HTML, and databases are going to be in the
future of interactive web design, and that's where I'm placing my bets. Open
Source continues to play an important role in driving web technologies. Even
though Microsoft would like to be the only player on the field, Open Source. With
its flexibility, it will almost certainly be the winner in the end. Betting the farm on
LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySql, PHP) seems much wiser to me than the alternative
(Microsoft, IIS, Asp) .
