FLAP (Software bundle)

From OSSWiki

FLAP is an acronym for a set of Free Software programs commonly used together to run dynamic web sites:

• Firebird, the database management system (or database server);
• Linux, the operating system;
• Apache, the web server;
• Perl, PHP, and/or Python, scripting languages.

FLAP is a variation of LAMP with Firebird instead of MySQL, and is the Linux equivalent of FWAP.

The acronym has three major uses:

• 1 - to define a web server infrastructure that provides the services of the software the acronym defines
• 2 - to define a programming paradigm of developing software that relies on the software the acronym defines
• 3 - to define a software distribution package that encompasses the software the acronym defines
