Linux: LAMP as a Test Server This is just a test server that I use for testing only, but it shows how it can be used with Linux Ubuntu running Apache2, MySQL, PHP5, PHPMyAdmin which is fairly simple to install on Ubuntu. That way you can run a local web server running your web pages or even a database for message boards or blogs if you wish to use it in that manner. Also you can run it as a live web server as well but this will all depend on your ISP how you can set things up to go live.
