What is this for?
Build a new Elastic Server or download an existing one?
LAMP is an acronym used to refer to a style of developing web-based applications using Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP technologies. This configuration is primarily a combination of the Web Server and Database configurations described above, and includes the Apache Server, PHP, the MySQL database and phpMyAdmin, a PHP-based database administration tool.
At CohesiveFT we wanted to offer a simple way that would allow anyone to assemble and download their own development and demo servers in minutes. Our Elastic Server platform makes this easy.
There are two ways for you to get an LAMP Stack virtualized server now.
1. You can download an existing LAMP Elastic Server from the 'Community' page by clicking on the "Community" tab above and browsing the available servers.
2. Alternatively, build your own in VMware, Xen or Parallels format. You can even upload and deploy it to Amazon with your EC2 credentials.
Why build your own instead of downloading a pre-built VMs? Because you get the virtualization format of your choice, with the parameters you want for memory and virtual hard drive size. And because each Elastic Server built gets its own unique ID (for patching purposes) and its own unique MAC address, so no DHCP conflicts!
