====== Apache, MySQL, PHP ====== Also known as AMP, or LAMP when running on Linux, those three services are by far the most widely used to deploy a local web development environment. ===== Looking for Flexibility ===== Although it is common to use those services, they often are deployed in a way that doesn't offer great flexibility, specifically the apache configuration as well as the php version that is used by apache are monolithic and do no allow for a great deal of "per virtual host" configuration. The goal here will be to deploy the AMP base components in such a way that they will allow a greater deal of "per virtual host" configuration options. Basically what we'll aim at doing is run multiple instances of apache with different configuration files, as well as allow "per virtual host" selection of the php version to run.
