Question
Should I be using Magento on a LAMP or LEMP stack?
- Posted July 28, 2014
Hi all,
I am interested in creating an online store using Magento and luckily, I found a tutorial on it. However, I don’t know if 1) it is the latest and best and 2) if I should be using a LAMP stack, or LEMP stack. I haven’t seen enough of LEMP to know if this is something I should do for an online store.
What do you guys/gals think?

I’ve decided not to go with Magento, I will keep exploring other options. The documentation for it is terrible and the entire experience with trying to set up my server for it was highly unpleasant.
The tutorial you linked makes use of the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP). It was written for Ubuntu 12.04. If you want to install it on the Ubuntu 14.04 LAMP app, there are two small differences is that you should be aware of. First, the file
/etc/apache2/sites-available/defaultis now named/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.confSecond, the Apache root has changed from/var/www/to/var/www/html/So update the files accordingly.Also there is a newer version of Magento. You can download it with:
If you want to try installing it with the LEMP stack (Nginx), check out these docs on Magento’s wiki.
Let us know how it goes!
