Apache, MySQL and PHP in one bundle

You are a web developer? But have no time to install apache webserver, mysql database and web programming language PHP on linux server. There are solutions that are easy and fast, download and install a bundle software, it is available in windows and linux. The bundle software is quite a lot of types and variations on the internet, I have try Xampp and WampServer, both bundle 3 application software for web developers above. Both have ease in installation and configuration, the difference Xampp more comprehensive, because it provides many additional add-on, so the size file is more bigger.

WampServer

Wamp is a Web Development tool that consists of Apache, MySQL and PHP, PHPMyAdmin and SQLiteManager added. The two last tools use to manage MySQL database. Kelebihan Wamp selain ukuran file yang kecil juga memiliki kemampuan menambah add-on versi lain dari Apache, MySQL maupun PHP selain yang sudah ada. The advantage, Wamp has small size, also has the ability to add add-on. Add-on itself can be downloaded in here.


Xampp
Xampp is also the web development tool, which consists of Apache, MySQL, PHP, and some add-on that directly bundle, such as: PROFTPD FTP Server (for linux), filezilla FTP Server (for the windows version), Webalizer, phpMyAdmin, SQLite, etc. Some add-on as a separate package, such as Perl and TomCat also provided by xampp. Xampp have their own convenience with the availability of a simple control panel look and feel.

Besides, if developers want to try the program in PHP 4, xampp provides PHP Switch tools, It has ability to change version to 4, the default of php version is 5.
