The Bitnami Open edX Stack includes three three major components: edX Platform, XQueue and edX Forum. edX Platform and XQueue are written in Python and the cs_comments_service (forum) is written in Ruby. More info at:

2) I can able to connect server through winscp. Can anyone tell me the exact root path?

Please take a look to the Bitnami Documentation regarding how to access via SSH/SFTP to a server:

3) Is Edx same as common Application Made using PHP & Mysql?

No. edX is much more complex since it uses Python, NodeJS, Ruby, RabbitMQ, MySQL, etc. You should take a look to the Open edX architecture: http://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-developer-guide/en/latest/architecture.html

4) I seen, lot of modules are present & we need to install it to use ( Like we do plugins in Wordpress), then can we able to customize for our individual requirement?

Yes, you can customise and add plugins/themes to edX.

5) kindly Suggest me good startup tutorial

You should take a look to the Bitnami Documentation for Open edX: https://docs.bitnami.com/azure/apps/edx/
