==EXPLORATION QUESTIONS==
Matching standardized format
In this lab, we will look at several separate technologies that are used with the Apache web server to install, configure and run web applications.
In your previous OPS235 course, your second assignment may have required you setup a similar series of services in order to run a Wiki on one of your virtual machines. In this lab, we will set up another example of a '''"LAMP solution"''' that will allow the user to run webmail in a web-browser to send and receive e-mail messages.
