I decided to make a very simple form of guest book. With only one text area and no more
crap like fields for your email address, name or home page url. Just simple and plain as a real world guest book.
And also like a real guest book: HTML input is not allowed.
And a message to all guest book spammers: URLs in this guest book were automatically removed.
This is only a guest book. If you've questions or need support: Please visit our forum. We don't answer any questions here.
And please, for your own happiness: Don't leave your e-mail addresses in a public guest book. Spammers will love you.
Some comments on the clarity of the engish windows xampp instructions.
Firstly, It was very easy to do! - worked first time. Great work!.
Some comments:
the 'For all newcomers' section.
You refer to the Install shield version. This is not mentioned anywhere else. I suggest you put 'xampp basic Installer version' instead.
In the Download section - suggest stating which Windows. Al? win 95, 98??
You list 3 versions: installer, zip, self-extrac..
I suggest stating that all 3 contain the same software.
In the installation section:
you mention 'partition' - do you mean directory? (sounds scary!)
step 1a - of the 3 versions, which does 1a apply to? all 3?
1b - same comment
1a and 1b sounds like a sequence of steps: a,b,c,d...
- in fact they are alternatives.
- clarify?
do we need 1c - for the installer version ? here is my effort:
1c - Installation with the @Installer' version
Download the xamp...installer.exe Store in a temporary localtion e.g c:\temp (you can remove it later)
Run the file. Choose your language.
Choose the directory for the installation. The default is c:\apachefriends
After installation is finished - a couple of minutes) - look in the apachefriends directory. You will see some bat files for starting apache and mysql. There is also a directory named htdocs., where you can place your web pages.
To test it:
start apache and mysql with the bat files.
Run a browser - go to [URLHIDDEN]
You will se an xamp welcome page. Follow status link to test, and run an example (e.g the cd one for a php/mysql example)
---
Where is what?
this section mentions minix - why? I suggest deleting minix, replacing with 3 dots ... (the Installer user may think they have gone wrong if they dont see minix).
Please dont think I am being over-critical - I was so pleased it worked, and want to make it even easier!

I have just installed xampp V0.3 on my PowerMac G5. OS X.3.9.
So far everything looks ok. Thanks guys. Great work. One quick note for users. If an error 1 is received during start-up, make sure another version of Apache is not already running.
Cheers

I'm a programming duffer, and I really appreciate what you guys have done with XAMMP. Installation and use have been so pleasant - stuff just works, so I can focus on writing my dumb applications, and not trying to get the server to function properly.
Thanks so much from the USA!

hey there,
first of all, thank's for the great job you've done with xampp, i have tested some servers like PHPTriad, easyPHP, and others but xampp is realy very good and simple to install and start working with it. for a beginner in PHP and MySQL that works mostly with windows and have just a few or none knolege about linux is realy great.
so keep going with the good (and free) work i'm loving it.
One mor thing if you need i can translate de documentation to portuguese, since i'm a nateve speacker.
well once again good work

Very Nice!
I decided to do my project with php and mysql (which I had to learn as I went along). I have had no problems with your excellent installation, and have only needed to restart when MY CODE was at fault. Please accept my sincere THANK-YOU, and when my project takes off I'll be remembering you.
Keep up the great work!

Very nice! Had less problems with MySQL, and those I did have were probably my fault and were easily fixed (thanks to various things telling me what was wrong!).
Thank you sooooo much! You saved me quite alot of hastle with my old (not working) installation!

Its really great! Ive been able to setup a most like professional hosting for almost no cost at all! I host 3 websites I did and it works like a charm. Server is running for more than 3 months (1 month without any restart) under win xp sp2! So no bugs (eg Microsoft) but installed under a OS I know (windows xp).
Continue this great job!

This is really cool! But I'm a little afraid to try it: I am a programmer, with hoards of dev stuff on here. Will your Python2.3 conflict with my Python 2.4 install?
Sun 12 Jun 2005 10:33:19 PM CEST
This is great. If XAMPP werent there I prolly wouldnt have entered the world of LAMP. Thanks a Ton. If you guys need any assistance in work related to J2EE/Java app integration with the existing XAMPP stack, let me know at nitinc@gmail.com.
Thanks again. :)

I love xampp !
But your windows installer is RUDE BAD PRACTICE crap!
You do NOT force people to use YOUR folder structure!
Coding hard paths is total bad practice! You know it !
If I want to use E:\xampp as the root, I expect to be able to specify it. And not to waste 15 minutes moving files out of your pretencious C:\apache friends\ i like cheese \ xampp \ xampp \ did we say we like cheese yet \ folder structure.
STOP adding Xampp behind the scenes and let the users specify where the thing installs - FFS!
PLEASE do NOT hard code install paths !! It just SUCKS !!

Many thanks to the Apache Friends Team for making such a complete server package that is so easy to install and configure. I needed something to set up quickly and easily so that I could do web portal developement with Macromedia Dreamweaver and PHP and XAMPP did everything I needed it to and more. Thanks again.

Very useful application, easy to install and use but I had some problems cause I forgot mysql root password and I changed it from mysql ini and there you go... I had to reinstall the whole application at the end. Also the php switch works only in safe mode for me (anyoane any clues? I use winxp sp1).
But it's a very good job and a tremendous amount of work behind it. Keep it up!
