Run You Own Webserver: The XAMPP Project 0
The XAMPP Project provides a pre-configured webserver package that you can install on your home computer. It’s useful for writing and testing websites on your local computer. It includes the Apache webserver, the MySQL database engine, PHP, and Perl.
With the proper security adjustments, it can also be used to present a site to the Big Wide World(TM). Downloads are available for Linux, Windows, Mac, and Solaris.
Recently, I made a presentation about XAMPP for Linux to my local LUG. You can download the handout if you’re interested.
Or even if you’re not.
