XAMPP – Web server + MySQL in minutes
March 1st, 2007
Useful tip if you ever need to get a Web server up & running on Windows ASAP. Use XAMPP:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html
It's a Windows installer that installs the following in minutes:
- Apache 2.2.4
- MySQL 5.0.33
- PHP 5.2.1 & PHP 4.4.5
- phpMyAdmin 2.9.2
- FileZilla FTP Server 0.9.22
- OpenSSL 0.9.8d
There's also a separate installer that adds Perl 5.8.
It's an ultra-low hassle way to get yourself a working PHP-enabled Web server + MySQL.
