    Alternatives for XAMPP?

    XAMPP sems like a dead project since mySQL and phpMyAdmin is corrupt when installing. Are there any working alternatives for windows?

    Easy PHP, Apache2 Triad and WampServer are some you could try. You might find this page helpful as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_WAMPs

    WAMP server. Really good. I have been using it for long time. With WAMP you'll never get many problems you face with XAMPP.

    Install everything manually, or use linux ;) but WAMP is a good alternative and won't fail like XAMPP

    Uniform server is also good alternative. I've been using it and it works without problem. What I like most in it, is the virtual disk drive feature. Accessing files gets way more quicker when www-folders are in root of a drive.
    It's also portable so I tend to carry it on a USB-stick.

    There's always IIS. eBay uses IIS, as does Microsoft.

    Re: Alternatives for XAMPP?

    im using xampp and never really had a problem with it, and to add another problem in the mix, its on an external drive that I can carry around with my and plug and play basically. I guess I just got lucky.

    I have also used wamp and have also had good success. There was one that I had installed at on my computer that was a task it had everything you could think of and even created a user account...don't remember the name but I ended up uninstalling it after a short time

    I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code

    I really like apache because its dead simple and the config file is really easy to edit and customize.
