N-Bomb(Nerd) Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hello All, I'm getting a bit tired of constantly having to upload all my files directly to my server when I'm working on a project. I'm looking into setting up a local environment to develop with, however I'm unsure which software to get. I've heard of different packages such as wamp, and xampp to name a few. I'm not looking for my local server to be public in anyway, shape, or form. I'm excessively anal about who, or what has access to my computer. I'm just wanting to setup a secure local developing environment, does anyone have suggestions on how I should go about this? Thanks, N-Bomb(Nerd) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/204717-quick-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I believe by default both the packages you mentioned are not configured to serve online. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/204717-quick-question/#findComment-1071775 Share on other sites More sharing options...

plutomed Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 When I done this before it took some setting up but: [*]Downloaded & installed Apache [*]Downloaded & installed PHP [*]Downloaded & installed phpMyAdmin & mySQL [*]Do all the set-up bit to add them all to Apache Or xampp will work I think, which has it all set up for you. I think both can be configured to run on the localhost and you can access it via a set up port, e.g. http://localhost:8080 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/204717-quick-question/#findComment-1071822 Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 If you don't need php configured just install Apache. It is a web (http/s) server. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/204717-quick-question/#findComment-1071829 Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a PHP forum I'd say it's fairly acceptable to presume that by "development" you were meaning PHP Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/204717-quick-question/#findComment-1071831 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Php wasn't even mentioned.. Then why did you post this thread in the PHP Coding Help section? I think that l4nc3r actually did the right thing, as there are hundreds of tutorials on what you wish to do.
