The Uniform Server

Awhile ago I mentioned Apache Friends Xampp as a nifty quick and easy way of installing Apache HTTPd Server,MySQL, PHP and Perl on a Windows PC. It still is.

But now there is a new mob offering the same ease of installation called The Uniform Server. It’s a WAMP package that allows you to run a server on just about any MS Windows OS based computer. It is small and mobile to download or move around and can also be used or setup as a production/live server. It’s the perfect system for both beginner webmasters and experienced developers, a fully powered webserver you can take with you on a USB Stick. Hmmm …. this I have to try out. Developers also use The Uniform Server to test their applications made with either PHP, MySQL, Perl, or the Apache HTTPd Server.
