PHP Environment Build Tools

has been using XAMPP to build a local PHP environment, but also before the local xampp to build and install WordPress and how to let local xampp support rewrite redirection, but recently my xampp appeared a lot of supernatural phenomenon, first after each installation after a day or two pages will become 500 , loading and unloading systems and even a new installation can not start Apache and Mysql (non-port issues). So look for some other PHP local environment to build tools.

7 Local PHP Environment build tools

1. XAMPP

XAMPP is a more powerful local testing platform, it integrates the necessary three functions, but also with FileZilla, software with a control panel, in which Apache, MySQL and FileZilla can be registered as a system service or uninstall service, a service-initiated control button , and you can see the running information for the service at the bottom of the window. Although the panel is in English, it is clear and understandable. Registration as a system service has the advantage that the boot can automatically run, but will consume a certain amount of system resources, how to choose their own users to decide. After the installation is successful and the service is successfully started, the browser can open the input http://localhost/and try to succeed. In the XAMPP web page option, there is Chinese support.

2. Wamp Server

Its official website has no Chinese, but the program supports Chinese. When you start the installer, it prompts you to uninstall the old version first, does not support overlay upgrades, and then you can install successfully on all the way next. It has an icon in the task tray, and if the service starts abnormally it is red, and if it is part of the exception it turns yellow, and if it's all right, it's white. With these different color warnings, it's easy to tell if your current localhost can be turned on. It can also switch between online and offline, and the options in the language items also have Simplified Chinese optional, very good.

3. Vertrigo Server

This is a lightweight wamp environment, but when you download it, the Thunderbolt comes with a security component that says it has a virus. After my scan (ESS3.0) and use, this is completely a false alarm, so we can rest assured that use. Install all the way next on the line, which phpMyAdmin actually have the original password, is Vertrigo, feel in the local test, this default is not necessary. It comes with a simple control panel, and the running state is also at a glance.

In its localhost page with a common link, very convenient.

4. Phpnow

Phpnow is really very simple, simple to install the program is to do with RAR a self-extracting program. There are no shortcuts since release, you have to find the folder where the file is stored, and then run Init.cmd to initialize the program. The initialization of the prompts to set the password, because it is in the cmd command line, only designed a password input, no password confirmation, so please set the time to be careful, do not forget. It also handles Apache and MySQL registration as a service, starting from boot.

In the program folder, it also has control panel, but it is cmd, but very easy to use.

It's easier to uninstall, uninstall the service in the software's own control Panel, and then close the entire folder and delete the line. So convenient, the diagram is easy to try.

5. Phpstudy

Phpstudy is not the same, it contains iis+php and apache+php, the software recommendation setting is the latter. In the task tray There are also icons, you can open the Panel to see the service running state, but also very concise.

Open localhost, the standard PHP information interface appears.

6. Appserv

During the program installation, it prompts you to change the default port of 80 to a service port, which avoids conflicts caused by port sharing. can have password setting hint, but do better than phpnow, software can also set character set, default is UTF-8. Although the software does not have control panel, but all operations in the Start menu to add a shortcut, the use of course is very convenient. The software also comes with a MySQL command line terminal.

7. easyphp

The software, like its name, is really easy!. Install all the way next, but will not load Apache and MySQL as services, so each use will be manually started. The software also has a simple control panel and nothing else to say.

Note: The above introduction originated from linxo.cn, but the website is no longer listed in the original address.

Two common problems

In fact, I have only used xampp and easyphp, but generally the same, the most commonly encountered two problems is because the port problem can not start Apache, and can not be implemented locally rewrite.

1. Apache cannot be started due to port problems

If it is because the port problem can not start Apache, then shut down other programs, one by one, determine which occupies 80 port, the most common is the Thunderbolt.

2. Local Open rewrite module

Whether the other is applicable I don't know. Xampp and easyphp, find httpd.conf This file, open edit, replace all allowoverride none with allowoverride all, then #loadmodule rewrite_module modules The "#" number in front of the/mod_rewrite.so can be removed.
