Its generic software stack model has largely interchangeable components. </p><p>Each letter in the acronym stands for one of its four <a href="/facts/Open-source_software/HzTaB8E9">open-source</a> building blocks: </p> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Linux/9FvCKSTq">Linux</a> for the <a href="/facts/Operating_system/8XTuvMh2">operating system</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Apache_HTTP_Server/tcmWYYUq">Apache HTTP Server</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Maria_DB/QWobVFIq">Maria DB</a> or <a href="/facts/MySQL/QEEDNBDP">MySQL</a> for the <a href="/facts/Relational_database/pEKGmJLy">relational database management system</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Perl/fx31kjlT">Perl</a>, <a href="/facts/PHP/vU6YRJX0">PHP</a>, or <a href="/facts/Python_(programming_language)/YbuGqofa">Python</a> for the <a href="/facts/Programming_language/cWTYbgWa">programming language</a></li></ul> <p>The components of the LAMP stack are present in the <a href="/facts/Software_repository/TlX4RM8Y">software repositories</a> of most <a href="/facts/Linux_distribution/0vVl4N4f">Linux distributions</a>. </p>
