[NotCarlsson]

What is it that you want to do?

[Silent]

I personally prefer xampp. and this is not related to C# in any way shape or form.
@Hugo Boss, Move? idk where to, But I know it doesn't belong in C# section xd

[[MPGH]Hugo Boss]

[Pimples700]

yep I cant remember where did I post this thread Thanks @Hugo Boss. The reason for creating this thread is to know which is good for a beginners like me.

[Smirnoffq]

I would say XAMPP, but only because I've never used WAMP.
But there should no be big differences

[Fellings]

I personally used WAMP and it was very nice.

XAMPP vs WAMP – Quick Introduction

WAMP and XAMP are both free to download softwares, and are used for running local-web server on your Laptop and PCs. Both of them consist of an APACHE Server,PHP and MySQL for developing and running websites locally. w o r d p r e s s users mostly have a local version of their website where they create articles, edit themes and try new plugins, before finally uploading them on their online website.

XAMPP vs WAMP – Quick Comparison

XAMPP

Works on Windows/Linux and MAC
Has a simple clean Interface. Good for beginners
Package contains Apache, PHP, MySql and Perl.
Has more extensions than WAMP.

WAMP

Works on Windows and Linux only.
Has simple interface with more options, good for programmers.
Package does not contain Perl. Only contains Apache,PHP and MySql.
Has fewer extensions than XAMPP.

XAMPP vs WAMP – Installation Comparison

Both these softwares are easy to Install. Moving on to the difference, you will notice that XAMPP supports operating systems like Windows,Linux and MAC. But WAMP only runs on Windows and Linux. If you are a MAC user, you will have to download MAMP software that is the wamp alternate for MAC. I would suggest that you just go for XAMPP, cause that works pretty well for MAC. Hope this helps all the MAC users out there.

XAMPP vs WAMP – Interface Comparison



XAMPP INTERFACE

The XAMPP Interface is quite simple, by default you have Apache and MySQL options enabled. Simply click the start button of these options to start their services. Now you can work on your PHP/Web Projects. XAMPP also provides it’s users with Tomcat, Mercury and FileZila services but since all my work is on PHP, so I have never used them.

WAMP INTERFACE


When you install Wamp, an icon appears on your taskbar. Left-click the icon and the wamp menu, as shown on the left, appears. Wamp Interface gives the user more control, you can edit Apache files,PHP and MySQL files from here.
To start Wamp services, click the “Start All Services” option and notice the color of wamp icon change from Red to Orange to Green. There is also a stop and restart option. Personally, however, I think the wamp interface is a bit cramped and there are too many options in too small a space for beginners.

XAMPP vs WAMP – Standard Packages and Extensions

Standard Package:

As I have mentioned earlier, xampp package includes apache server + php + mysql + perl services. In comparison, the wamp package loses in perl but contains apache server + php + mysql services.

Extensions:

This is where the major difference lies between the two, xampp and wamp. Both provide adons/extensions to their user. While wamp only offers PHP adons, xampp offers much more flexibility to the user. XAMPP can work with w o r d p r e s s, Drupal, Magento , PrestaShop and much more.
