Astute readers will remember this post where we alluded to the setup of a web-server for dynamic content.

We’ve also mentioned our use of Linux,Apache and PHP. In the Free/Libre/Open Source Software world, the use of these software solutions typically alongwith a database such as MySQL is known as using a LAMP software stack.

The ability of mumineen.org to provide a LAMP software stack has been of immense help in providing services to our viewers. Feedback from various jamaats who host on our site also indicates that they use the LAMP stack extensively. The low cost and easy availability of the LAMP stack makes it possible for anybody to recreate a similar environment which can be scaled to meet appropriate demand.

So to everyone who’s using the infrastructure provided including mumineen.org crew and the developers of the jamaat websites hosted on our server, let the magic emanate from the Genie of the LAMP.
