If we want to add more features for our web-page (eg. dynamic functionality, security, e-commerce, etc), your webserver would need additional help. To provide additional help requires several resources - more than just the web server itself. A popular acronym to represent these foundations and servers is referred to as '''LAMP'''. It stands for '''Linux''', '''Apache''', '''MySQL''', and '''PHP''' (or ''Python'').
In your previous OPS235 course, your second assignment may have required you setup a similar series of services in order to run a Wiki on one of your virtual machines. In this lab, we will set up one type another example of a '''"LAMP solution"''' runs that will allow the user to run webmail (i.e. send and receive email in a web -browser)to send and receive e-mail messages.
#Start the httpd service, and enable this service to start automatically upon system startup.
#Make certain to configure your firewall to allow access to the httpd service (i.e. the Apache serves HTTP traffic which goes over TCP port '''80''').

#Delete the file '''/etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf''' to get rid of the default page.
#We're not going to have a lot of time to study various Apache options so we'll tell you what you're looking for but you have to find it yourself.
