Exclusive Apache/MySql/PHP Linux Environment XAMPLE
XAMPLE is a project hosted on Sourceforge.net.
Its main aim is to provide encrypted filesystems that can be used as separate and
independent LAMP environments on a system that does or does not already run an Apache web server
and a MySQL database.
The new separate LAMP software lives in a chroot environment without conflicting with already running
server processes as long as it uses different ports.
As a result, certain database driven software (like VtigerCRM), that may refuse to work with the
installed LAMP software on a system, can now use their own carefully designed environment with different
versions of PHP or MySQL on the same machine.
The project uses the dm_crypt module build into the linux kernel to provide a basic core
filesystem that can be mounted via loop devices on any directory inside the Linux system.
A tool for re-encryption (and possibly extension of the size) of the core filesystem is included.
All software components will work autonomously so that XAMPLE can be run on most if not all
modern Linux distributions. The standard XAMPLE AMP environment has been successfully tested to run
on Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE and Gentoo.
