Quick Question

[N-Bomb(Nerd)]

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)

I believe by default both the packages you mentioned are not configured to serve online.

I'm not asking how to setup a local php server, so please take your link and get the heck out of my thread! You need to stop spamming peoples threads with a link to lmgtfy, especially when it holds no significance to the question in-hand.

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

You are asking how to setup a local server configured to execute php though.

Not exactly. I was asking about a local server and the security.. as I wanted it to remain only local. Php wasn't even mentioned..

If you don't need php configured just install Apache. It is a web (http/s) server.

On a PHP forum I'd say it's fairly acceptable to presume that by "development" you were meaning PHP

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.
