Patent ID: 8607252

Claim:
A method for automated Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP/Perl/Python (LAMP) stack data migration, the method comprising: analyzing a LAMP stack executing in a source operating platform to retrieve a profile for the LAMP stack, wherein the profile includes a configuration for each component of the LAMP stack, comprising a configuration for a Linux type operating system, a configuration for an Apache type Web server, a configuration for a MySQL type database management system, and a configuration for a PHP/Perl/Python script execution environment; selecting a LAMP stack for deployment onto a target operating platform; translating the retrieved profile for compatibility with the selected LAMP stack and the target operating platform; deploying the selected LAMP stack onto the target operating platform; directing a reboot of the target operating platform using a bootstrap protocol (BOOTP) server to bootstrap the target operating system; and, applying the translated profile to the target operating platform.
