Which is better Xampp Vs Wamp

[islamis4u]

I just thought you people out which is better Xampp or Vamp?

Meaning feature and stability-wise?
I used both but can't find much difference...

[bhupendra2895]

Only difference is XAMPP comes with
perl. So if you require perl then use
XAMPP.. else I have found
WAMPServer to be more stable
and is beginner friendly. If you
are planning to install and use a
server, you would like to know what
each of the component are
going to do. So it has to be
beyond "start/stop/pause".
Doing something without
knowledge of what every
component is doing would lead
to confusion though. So my choice is
WAMPserver.
For a detailed comparison have a
look here:

one feature which wamp don't have is mercury/32 and firezilla server which i think we can install it by ourself

For me, XAMPP never ever worked with sessions, always give a lot of errors. Also, it's a bit harder to secure. In WAMP, you only have to click the wamp icon and chose "put online" to make it available from other computers, or "put offline" if you only want it accessible from the local computer.

Considering they both are running essentially the same versions of Apache, I would assume that they are both as stable as each other. Considering I don't run Windows, WAMP has never been an option, although the Mac version called MAMP has been one I have used but I have always felt that XAMPP is the simpler option. I don't need any of the advanced options in the control panels as I set them up through the httpd.conf and associated files anyway.

I was using WAMP first.But it was WAMP that gave me session errors.The same code worked fine with XAMP and also APPSERV.Now i completely use XAMP and its working fine for most of my projects

Now, I am not using both.I have installed apache httpd, php 5.3.3, mysql, phpmyadmin, filezilla ftp server and hmail server.This taught me how all these things together works, and best about this is that os is very well aware that these things are present, so other applications can use them too, while in case of xampp or wamp you have to tell it manually.

Well for a begineer or for portability purposes xampp or wamp is good.XAMPP helped me to continue web development when my hard disk died and I was using live cd of ubuntu and my 2GB usb flash drive to learn zend framework.

xampp. As a mac user, I require something that works for Mac

I also like how easy it is to start up and shut down - I only need to press a button.

I mainly use WAMP but I have xampp installed as a side server since I run a backup server and CMS. Also, you can get wamp to allow perl easily, just that you'd have to start it seperate without a script.
