  Old  Local Servers

I've found it very beneficial to have a local Linux box running as a server for testing and what not. Not everyone needs or wants a full server, however there are plenty of quick install servers for Windows /Mac.

I thought I'd mention a few here for anyone who wasn't aware there was such a beast, or is interested in trying it out. Please feel free to add to my tiny little list.

Windows:
http://www.wampserver.com/en/
http://www.easyphp.org/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/yawamp/

Mac:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macos...urce/mamp.html
http://www.mamp.info/en/index.php
http://www.living-e.de/en/products/T...d/download.php

Cheers!

Anyone know what the "amp" stands for? Apache, PHP and what? I'm guessing phpmyadmin but that's another P.

XAMPP stands for Apache, MySql, PHP, Perl with the X being a placeholder for the Operating System since XAMPP can be run on Linux, Windows, Mac, and Solaris.

I downloaded Wamp a few months ago when I was playing around with MySQL/PHP and had it running in no more than a few minutes

Well what do ya know? This set up in 2 min and it worked, I spent hours trying to install them manually just to give up. I simply turn it on and off when I need it and dont, therefore it never eats my processor up. My server is down and I dont have to wait!!!!

I used EasyPHP every day for the fact that it's easy to turn on and off.
