I have installed Joomla on a local server on my laptop.The local server was setup using Xampp.Xampp provides: the Apache server, the MySQL database and PHP.
The Apache server - this is a server on your local PC. It sets up a localhost installation.
When it is working, opening a browser and typing http://localhost in the address bar results in the display of the home page.
The name Apache comes from 'a patchy server' apparently.
MySQL database - this database stores all of the content e.g. Joomla articles, images ,etc.
PHP is a scripting technology. The PHP language allows the web page to interact with the database , change content, send content from the database to the web page etc.
