The new XAMPP 1.7.7 for Windows, Linux, and Solaris is out!

It took nearly eight months to get this new version of XAMPP released. A long time, but somehow this year it was harder than usual. Alone in the last four weeks, there were two new versions of Apache, two new versions of PHP and even two new versions of MySQL.

But let's get to the point: What's new in this version?

This time we updated Apache to 2.2.21, MySQL to 5.5.16, PHP to 5.3.8, and phpMyAdmin to 3.4.5, as well as the usual minor updates of libraries or system-specific components.

Also new: There's now a Solaris version for x86 processors and both Solaris versions now support the PHP Oracle extension out-of-the-box, i.e. there is no installation of additional libraries needed to access an Oracle database.

All downloads and further details about the new versions are available at the respective XAMPP project page.

PS: Congratulations to the Berlin Pirates! ;)

Apache Friends is a non-profit project to promote the Apache web server. It was founded in the spring of 2002 by

Kai 'Oswald' Seidler and Kay Vogelgesang. The following activities are our contribution towards promoting the web server and related technologies:

Easy to use software (see our Apache distribution XAMPP below).
Easy to read documentation (Sorry, all texts apart from the FAQ are only available in German, our »Apache für Dummies« book for example).
The creation of an online community for helping each other out should any questions or problems arise (see our Forums or Chats for further resources).

If you want to know more about Apache Friends please take a look at our

Apache Friends FAQ page.

XAMPP

Many people know from their own experience that it's not easy to install an Apache web server and it gets harder if you want to add MySQL, PHP and Perl. XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl. XAMPP is really very easy to install and to use - just download, extract and start.

At the moment there are four XAMPP versions:

a version for Linux systems (tested for Ubuntu, SuSE, RedHat, Mandrake and Debian),
a version for Windows 98, NT, 2000, 2003, XP and Vista,
a beta version for Solaris SPARC (developed and tested under Solaris 8),
and a beta version for Mac OS X.

This Mac OS X and Solaris versions of XAMPP are still in the first steps of development. Use at you own risk!
