WAMP or XAMPP ?

[Mike]

Been ages since I used either. Was going to install one or the other so I have a local test bed.

Open to suggestions.

I also have a 1 TB backup drive that I could prolly install Linux on and have a regular LAMP environment, but I'm guessing that wouldn't work very well since it would be a separate operating system and not exactly "local" other than physical location.

What sayest thou, o' gods of code and servers?

I use XAMPP because of simplicity. Never had to try WAMP before.

I used to use that kind of setup. But prefer vmware + centos install. Then you can share the drive and still edit the files thru Windows apps, but run the code under linux.

I have been always using XAMPP and it gave me good results.

XAMPP is better than WAMP because it works right out of the box with modules like PDO. I have it set to work directory-less in my DropBox folder. That way all my test files get backed up and I can bootup XAMPP on whatever computer I'm working on at the time.

Now, THAT is cool! I'm installing it on my backup drive, since my main harddrive is getting really full. And I want it available when I travel.

But the idea of using it with DropBox is definitely a neat idea! Thanks!

Oh shit, that's awesome. Never thought of that.

Yeah xampp is the way to go unless you consider a virtual workstation and lamp but between wamp and xampp its a no contest. Never thought of the drop box idea I will deffinitly be trying that out since I'm in the middle of revamping my server.

xampp is so easy to setup.

 

[Fatbat]

I've always used WAMP but it seems I'm the only one. I might have to give XAMPP a try.

 

[expertteam]

Xaamp is better.
yu just click on "apache service" start and everything starts working wether in wamp,there are some more steps .

You're not alone! Will have to try XAMPP now.

I've tried this with WAMP and it works but I'm fucked if I know how to synchronise SQL databases with dropbox, any ideas?

XAMPP by far, I've some quirky weird shit happen running WAMP. XAMPP runs perfect out of the box.
