A great resource on this subject March 5, 2006

One of the things I liked about this book was the amount of detail it had on its subjects, and yet it is not a 1000 page novel. If you just want to have a system running a web server and you don't really care about how it works and what is going on, then this is definitely not the book for you. However, if you really want to learn how these components work together and exactly what is going on, then I do recommend this book. After taking a Linux course, I picked this up and still learned quite a bit from the introduction to Linux chapter. Everything is very clearly written and easy to understand. The only thing I didn't like was that many of the pages are devoted to listing configuration files, but you can easily just skip over these if they don't apply to you.

If you are looking for a book that provides a brief overview, you will be satisfied with Eric Rosebrock's book. If you are looking for a "how to" reference book that covers MySQL and PHP in depth, you will probably be disappointed. The book merely provides basic information as the title states: "Setting Up LAMP: Getting Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP Working Together" that being LAMP installation and configuration procedures on a FEDORA Linux environment. This book offers the necessary information to install FEDORA Linux, and getting your Apache web server operating with MySQL and PHP. Rosebrock's book does save you the time and effort of having to glean information from those various "open source computer geeks" (right brain) web sites.
Great book - got everything working (took a while) December 29, 2005

I've been working on getting my RedHat Fedora 3 working with LAMP. Finally I sat down and spent some dedicated time with this book and got it working.
apache: apache_1.3.33
mysql: 5.0.2-alpha
php-5.1.1
This is my environment I setup and it worked! Good step by step instructions and the quick reference steps in the back of the book were excellent.
Highly recommend.
 Best Computer Book I've Ever Used December 2, 2005

I just finished this book and I must say that it is absolutely hands down the best computer book I've ever used. It is well written and doesn't waste 200 pages with a bunch of the author's "humor" like you find in a lot of "user friendly" computer books.
More than just PHP/MySQL/and Apache I was very impressed with the attention given to installing and securing/hardening Linux. The author uses Fedora Core (I used Centos 4.2) and the information is very relevant as the author uses Apache 1.3 (but discusses Apache 2), PHP 5 and MySQL 5.
After I read hte book I was VERY happy to see Appendix A (which I think is worth the price of the book) which is basically a "Quickstart" to installing Linux/PHP/MySQL and Apache and securing them all.
If you want a readable book that is easy to follow with no errors, no wasted pages, and is not out of date; this is the book for you!
 Not exactly the most secure book. November 10, 2005

This book is more af a composite of the 4 taken straight off multiple online resources. The book reads as if you follow page by page, you will understand how to get them "Working Together". My strongest complaint is that it truely disregards security concerns in the earlier chapters. At many times you will feel alot of copy/paste has been performed. However, the book is surely for someone who has never touched any type of unix. if you fit this bill, then this book could work for you.
Try "Hacking Linux Exposed Second Edition" with 1 or 2 online newbie Linux sites that cover basic system configuration (there is more than enough). This book covers enough to get them working together and with a eye on security at the same time.
