proskater123 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I'm looking for a way to run a mysql server on my machine so i can test the webpages i build on the road without and internet connection. I have a web server that can run php but e107 (web site management I'm using) calls for a database. Yes i have looked threw google but to i didn't understand any of it. So what I'm looking for is basically a mysql server that will run on windows. preferably a GUI to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 There is actually a native windows MySQL server (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/win...stallation.html). However, because your website is likely to end up been hosted on not-windows, you may want to consider installing LAMP in a VM. The simplest (but least secure) way to do this is to use Ubuntu Server with the LAMP option enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digip Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 xampp for windows, lamp for linux. Just be sure to set passwords for everything after you install it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 xammp is actually pretty good for windows, ran a small site off of it for a couple of months at one point, no reboots or restarts needed. It just sat there and did its job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I will run up a Windows DomU and have a look at it as that would be a great solution for some peopel I know that runa site/blog as a hobby and need a dev space to work in.
