Brian Leonard and Marina Sum report on installing Sun Web Stack on the OpenSolaris OS. The writers escort users through the relatively few simple steps involved in the installation of Sun Web Stack, which Sun shipped in July.

The components of Sun Web Stack are:

• Apache software
• MySQL database
• PHP scripting language
• Python programming language
• Tomcat servlet container
• Subversion version control system
• Concurrent Versions System (CVS)
• Squid caching proxy
• memcached memory caching system
• NetBeans IDE
• Web Stack tools and UI
