The authors provide the most useful, practical information on a broad range of open source technologies. This practical guide presents a survey of LAMP technologies, and shows how these solutions can be implemented securely while improving reliability and cutting costs. The book focuses on the most important core material necessary for the developer to hit the ground running and begin building applications right away.

* Covers the entire open source Web platform known as LAMP, which includes Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP, the basis for many dynamic data-driven Web sites * Seven convenient minibooks provide easy reference on open source and team development, working with Linux and Apache, automating Web sites with Perl, developing front-end applications with Tcl/TK, creating dynamic Web pages with PHP, accessing Web databases with MySQL, and processing Web files with regular expressions * Includes valuable, hard-to-find coverage of collaboration, file sharing, and version control with CVS * PHP is running on over nine million sites, with an average increase of 6.5 percent monthly over the past two years; Apache Web servers handle seventy percent of Web content

This book deals with the tasks of installing, configuring and using a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack for the purposes of serving a custom web application. This book consists of two volumes. Volume One details the installation of the Red Hat 6 Operating System and configuration choices involved there, the Apache, MySQL and PHP installation and configuration plus the installation of the phpMyAdmin application to help manage the MySQL database. At every stage, the author's real-world experience guides you with Reliability, Availability and Serviceability advice to help you choose the most manageable and secure configuration for your needs. Volume Two walks through the design and writing of a LAMP-driven "wishlist" application for the web using the MySQL database for storage. MySQL and PHP development are covered in this practical application; all source code is available for download.

You could think of Setting Up LAMP as four books in one, but it's actually something much more valuable: a single volume that presents the open-source technologies known collectively as LAMP—Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP—as tightly dovetailed components of today's most affordable and effective platform for building dynamic web-based applications. Each technology has uses outside of this context, of course, but within it they form something greater than the sum of their parts. This book shows you how to take full advantage of this power, walking you through all the steps required to lay your Linux foundation, install and configure your Apache web server, and then begin using PHP to access content stored in MySQL. Here are a few of the specific topics you'll find covered inside: Installing and configuring qmail with support for IMAP, POP3, SMTP, virtual domains, spam filtering, and antivirus Managing system users and groups Configuring your network Creating a custom firewall script using IP tables Recognizing when a system is in distress Handling MySQL database replication Configuring virtual domains Writing a basic PHP script that integrates with MySQL If you're new to all of this, you'll quickly get to where you need to be to start developing and deploying the higher-level pieces of your web application. Even if you have experience with one or all of these technologies, this book—including its quick-start installation appendix—is a resource you'll want close by whenever you're setting up or fine-tuning your LAMP system.
