Bake a Windows site in 5 minutes!

(1/1)

FreeBSD4me:
Apache and PHP problems on Windows?
Use WAMP If you must use Windows :-D. 
WAMP is Free and Open Source.
You will have your WB site running in 5 minutes.
I did my experiment on XP Professional.

Here is a link to the WAMP project: http://www.en.wampserver.com

Installation:
* Install WAMP
* Set password for MySQL
* Rename the index.php from the WAMP install to control.php
* Unzip the contents of the WB zip file into the www directory
* Run through WB setup



The WAMP control panel makes administration easy

You can also use a webserver on an usb stick. Verry handy to work on another location.
Download it at http://www.usbwebserver.com. However, the website is in Dutch. Use Google Translation to translate the site.

doc:
Just for the sake of completeness, XAMPP from the apache friends. XAMPP is available for Windows, Linux, Solaris, Mac and easy to set-up within minutes.

I am mostly working on 5 to 10 sites at the same time (including sandboxing etc..)

I am using SAMBAR server just because is has a very nice virtual server config (through admin web interface).
Unfortunatly Sambar is stopped development and even the main website does not exist anymore.

I don't mind using WAMP/XAMPP, but i would really like a more simple virtual domain management (using scripts).

Does anyone has a good tip for a GNU config tool for apache where I can simply create virtual servers?
