 **LAMP** is a an acronym for a combined set of software to run a Webserver containig following Software Products: **Apache, Mysql Perl, Python or PHP**. The "L" stands for Linux, therefore there is also an acronym named **WAMP** representing the Windows Operating System. This also means that the title of this article is misleading. The approach is to install the same combined set of software, but using NetBSD as the Operating System instead of Linux.  **LAMP** is a an acronym for a combined set of software to run a Webserver containig following Software Products: **Apache, Mysql Perl, Python or PHP**.

 The new Apache 2.2 server comes with two different threading models from which [prefork](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/prefork.html) is installed by default. It is **not** recommended to use the Worker model, if you wish to use Apache and PHP. As that is the case, we will install a default Apache 2.2 server.  The new Apache 2.2 server comes with two different threading models from which [prefork](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/prefork.html) is installed by default.

 If your build was successful, you should now edit the Apache configuration file _`/usr/pkg/etc/httpd/httpd.conf`_ to fit your needs. At least set the `Listen` Attribute and your `ServerName`.
