WebStack 1.5 - Your (L)AMP Stack
Sun's
LAMP
support is assembled from two pieces:
the L is from our
Linux/GNU Support
(see
SunSolve entry),
while the AMP
comes from the
GlassFish WebStack,
which, in its
latest incarnation
includes
Apache HTTP Server, lighttpd, memcached, MySQL, PHP, Python, Ruby,
Squid, Tomcat, GlassFish (v2.1) and Hudson
(features).
The inclusion of Hudson is a bit of an opportunistic move (more on that in a bit),
the rest comprises a well tested, integrated, optimized, and extended
component stack for your new and old Web Apps.
The WebStack can be downloaded
here;
the bundle includes the WebStack Enterprise Manager, which, unlike the other components,
is not free right-to-use but rather is available with an eval license;
this is a model like that of the
GlassFish Enterprise Manager.
The current release supports RHEL, Solaris and OpenSolaris (it is bundled in OpenSolaris);
for additional details, check out the
Documentation
and
Discussion Forum.

Note to self: The IPS repository for (most) of the WebStack components is at http://pkg.sun.com/layered/webstack/1/release/linux/en/catalog.shtml - This includes almost everything except Hudson, GF v2.1... and Ruby (still confirming that one)
Note the URL above is for Linux. If you are aon a supported platform, http://pkg.sun.com/layered/webstack/1/release will redirect to the right URL.
On a related topic, not all the components are available on all platforms. Check the release notes; for example: http://wikis.sun.com/display/WebStack/Sun+GlassFish+Web+Stack+1.5+Release+Notes#SunGlassFishWebStack1.5ReleaseNotes-SunGlassFishWebStackComponents
