Using WAMP5 to build apache+mysql+php environment

Paste: Http://xoops.org.cn/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=8734&forum=1

There are a number of AMP (apachemysqlphp) integrated software that allows us to install and set up at once. This is good for users who are unfamiliar with the amp.

The advantages of using the AMP integrated software:
1, can avoid because of lack of knowledge of AMP, and can not set up the environment correctly;
2, can quickly install and set up a good amp environment, let us directly start really interested in software, such as Xoops;
3, can easily build test environment, for testing "is the AMP environmental problems, or xoops caused by the problem" is very helpful, using the elimination method can be.

Second, the commonly used amp integration software:
1, appserv:http://www.appservnetwork.com/
This software is very popular in Taiwan. Many books are also highly recommended and are estimated to be influenced by Taiwanese users.

2, xampp:http://www.apachefriends.org/en
The software supports multiple platforms, Winlinuxsolarismac OS X, and is currently being used by a number of people.

3, wamp5:http://www.wampserver.com/en/
This is the absolute five-star I highly recommend today. Note that its name is with a 5 oh, meaning that WAMP5 uses the latest PHP5 version, as the slogan on the official website: Discover PHP5 with WAMP5!

Third, according to my experience, WAMP5 has the following advantages:
1, Xoops in the WAMP5 use, there is no problem.
2, WAMP5 focus on the Windows platform, installation settings and simple.
3, PHP is the default 5.x version, if you need to php4.x, as long as the installation of php4.x Plug-ins, you can freely switch between the two, very convenient.
4, MySQL default is the 5.x version, but you can choose the old version of the WAMP5, so that the use of 4.x MySQL.
5, the Visual menu management, extremely convenient. For example, turn off PHP extention, Apache module, and so on, directly through the menu selection can be.
6, there are a variety of plug-ins, such as Zend OPTIMIZER add-on and so on.
7, if there is doubt, the official forum can be asked for help.
...... More advantages: Who used to know, early use to know ^_^
