WAMP Server...

Anyone have any experience with WAMP Server?
(W)indows (A)pache (M)ySQL (P)HP server?

There are several flavors of WAMP servers.
They are an all-in-one package to install on a windows machine to make it a web server that can host MySql databases and enable PHP Scripting.

The one im using is from wampserver.com

Anyhoo - im running into some issues where some older scripts are not working on it. I guess the PHP code is out of date. My old \"Pay for it\" server had PHP4 something, and an older version of Apache.

WAMP has PHP5, but im having a hard time finding the right mix of Apache and PHP.

Just wanted to see if anyone out there uses it.

update the php code, or go back to running an older version.

you could install each program separately but in the end its the same stuff with less work.

Yeah, of the things you mentioned, upgrading from PHP4 to PHP5 is the most likely of the upgrades to have caused backwards incompatibilities. Since PHP4 stopped receiving security updates a while ago, I'd recommend going the PHP5 path and fixing your scripts, not that using an ancient version of PHP has led to the dbb.net getting hacked...

Yeah, i played around with it.
Its running stable on a slightly older release of PHP5, and latest version of apache.

The issue I had was if you go back so far with PHP4, apache crashes. but everything is running smooth now. I love having my own web-server

Now when im not at home im still getting my money's worth with my Cable Internet.
