WampServer
Web development platform on windows servers
WampServer is a package that allows you to install a full-fledged web server on a local machine running Windows. The package includes the latest releases of Apache, MySQL and PHP. Installing the server is easy - just run the installation file and follow the step-by-step instructions. After that, a WWW directory will be created on the "C" disk, where you can put your PHP scripts. To access the local server, just type "http://localhost" in your browser's address bar. WampServer allows you to manage Apache and MySQL settings, switch the server to online and offline modes, change the versions of Apache, MySQL and PHP, view server logs, edit configuration files, etc. In addition to the three main modules, WampServer also includes additional software: Xdebug, XDC, SQLBuddy, PhpMyAdmin and webGrind. WampServer does not have a classic graphical interface - instead, all program settings are adjusted using the context menu and the icon in the system tray.
