Bitnami package for LAMP
Bitnami by VMware | 8.3.6-3-r04 on Debian 12Linux/Unix, Debian 12 - 64-bit Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Everything I Needed
I love coding but I absolutely HATE setting up systems and environment, as well as working from the command line. Bitnami MAMP stack is my solution for developing web applications locally and I am very pleased with how simple and easy it is to set up and use; so naturally when I saw a LAMP stack version for AWS available when getting my site online I figured I could try it out and save myself the hassle of trying to install Apache, PHP, MySQL, etc and configuring it myself. Happy to report that after a couple minutes of reading up on how to do things (e.g. check documentation for the passwords, figuring out what clients to use to connect to the servers, etc) everything was up an running perfectly! Great product Bitnami - thanks for saving me a lot of time and stress!

Great server out of the box
This AMI is a great starting point to host any website. Most of the settings which are there by default are very much optimized.
Another thing which I like about this AMI is the security points which are covered. Very simple things like blocking phpMyAdmin etc.
Overall it's very easy to manage multiple applications and run the server peacefully. Installing new features are easy and their documentation is very good.
Need a web app up fast? This is what you need
I was prototyping a new web app and I wanted it online quick. Thanks to Bitnami I was able to get straight to coding the app instead of having to spend time setting up the whole stack.
I've now got my app connected to an RDS instance, so if Bitnami did a version of this without MySQL it'd be even better!
Very good
I am using this image for quite long time and it's well configured and easy to use.. one thing not very sure though is the support for C3.LARGE instance type,, other than this particular issue everything seems to be very fine :-)
So easy ....
Setting up a fully functional web environment in Ubuntu has never been this easy. Using Bitnami AMIs will definitely help accelerate my learning of the AWS platform.
2 click LAMP stack
Click continue, click launch with one click, assign an elastic ip. Import the pem security key to puttygen, save it as ppk, use the ppk as ssh authentication, putty into the elastic ip you assigned the instance, sign in as bitnami no password,and boom! Command line access.
Open up notepad++, Plugin/NppFTP, gear on the right/personal settings, hostname = elastic ip you assigned, check try private key, give it the pem. Boom! file structure and code access.
Putty settings, SSH/Tunnels add source port 8888 destination localhost:80. Go to 127.0.0.1:8888/phpmyadmin/ Boom! MYSQL
Remember to save that ip, auth key, tunnel settings as a putty profile for one click command line and myphpadmin access!
Fun Fun!
Easy!
Clicked a few buttons and, viola, a web server all ready to go.
I could have done it myself but why would I if it could do it for me, and for free
