What is LampCMS?
Fri Sep 11 2009
LampCMS is a system that allows you to instantly offer creation of
sophisticated personal blogs and image hosting and coming soon video
hosting!
It is an OPEN SOURCE software released under the GPL licence.
For example, if you have a community of people with similar interests,
you can start offering them a nice place to create their own website,
complete with blog, image hosting and (coming soon)
their own forums.
LampCMS was designed with these goals in mind: be fast, output only
valid standard-compliant HTML or XML, use memory caching to speed up
processing and reduce the number of database queries to a
minimum, making this CMS able to handle super heavy traffic with
ease.
Be scalable an admin can very easily setup a dedicated server to server
images, or can even have thumbnails to be served from one server, regular
images from the other, have database on another
server and the main processing will be done on yet another server. When
number of images or videos grows, it is very easy to add new servers and
have new images automatically be saved on the new
server.
LampCMS was not designed to be a full-blown framework. For example, if
you want to create something that has little to do with blogging, like a
virtual store or hotel booking system, then LampCMS
was not designed to be all that; however, it is fairly easy to write
extra plug-in like polls, mailing list system, rss feed parser that would
show nicely formatted feeds from other sites, or
most anything else.
