Ik wil jullie allen bedanken voor deze zeer goed opgezette software en hopelijk dat meerdere zullen gebruiken.
In ieder geval raad ik het iedereen aan is niet zo zeer de luiïgheid maar mijn computer heb ik al diverse keren laten crashen en met dit wat heel ergggggggggggggggg tijdbesparend en zeer snel een peuleschilletje eigenlijk dat ik nu eindelijk zover ben om verder te kunnen bestuderen en experimenteren.
Nogmaals dank uit Holland

Thank you for coming up with *ampp. It's one of the best pieces of software out there for rapid deployment of basic web services. I do have some comments which I think will improve *ampps usefulness.
1.-Make the backups work accross platforms. Currently the backup is made as a shellscript, which is not a bad thing but this means the backup doesn't work in non-linux systems and thus the files can't be easily ported from one side to the other. This doesn't even work around unix-like platforms, like linux and MacOSX. A backup from a linux system can't be loaded in macosx (I just realized and because of my assumption I have managed to lose a whole weekend, which is what prompted to make the suggestion, accepting the fact that the error was mine).
Two solutions I can think of here:
A.-Have the lampp program recognize the backup and process it accordingly (it would be, effectively, like moving the inner workings of the .sh's file to the lampp file itself). The advantage is that it could process a backup file from any of the other platforms (as each lampp instance knows about it immediate universe and thus would be able to use the local resources to load up the files and databases).
A.-Give the option of making the backup file-based and not shellscript-based. This means the backup process would spit out a gzipped or zipped file with a copy of the current file structure (and either SQL dumps of the MySQL databases or the file dumps of the file structures). Theoretically the whole "data" directories of a new lampp installation could be overwritten this way and they'd work.
2.-Please re-think the current MacOSX distribution: I know this is still in beta, and I understand you've changed the way this works because of suggestions, so I'll give mine: It's not the "proper" way to dump command-line programs in the /Applications folder, no matter what the people might have suggested. The /Applications folder should have graphical applications. I would also say that the data should be somewhere else but I won't because I rather like the current way lampp is completely self-contained.
I'd have a suggestion:
I suggest based on the fact that the WHOLE of lampp should be contained in the "/Library" folder (especially considering that before soon 90% of the space in it is data, not an application) and should follow the same file structure than the linux and windows versions.
What I'd suggest is either making a prefpane or a MacOSX application (I could offer myself to do this, if it's desired by the devs, at least the app) that controls the lampp executable and launches and stops it, makes sure MacOSX's own services are not running (conflicts), enables 'start on boot' through launchd, starts and stops specific services or enables the different versions, etc.
This application and prefpanes, now, could be either placed or linked outside the /Library/mampp/ directory, as they would reference it anyway.
This is, to my eyes, a more sensible approach that not only makes lampp be more compliant with the MacOSX platform but, as well, makes it easier both for newbie MacOS users to use and more compatible with the other versions of lampp out there.

Thanks a lot for this. I sent away an e-mail to "Oswald" before I saw the guestbook, sorry about that. Anyway. XAAMP is great when I look for a quick way to setup a testing platform with PHP5.
Thanks again!

EXCELLENT PACKAGE!! Now, to take the project ONE STEP FURTHER: A full linux flavor with XAMPP...for those of us who are lazy and just want to download and set up a system with little fuss.
Thanks again for a great package!!
Wed May 4 18:48:25 2005
Congratulations!!! This is the "way to go". IMHO. for open source soft in Macs.
OK, maybe we became lazies at "unnecesaty complicated work".
Can a Dashboard widget be made for controling XAMPP, getting us (non-lazy creatives) forget about terminal? Or, maybe, it is necessary to use an AppleScript application or a full Cocoa one.
Thanks for bringing the Apple's "ease of use" to OSS.
Congrats again and again!

I have spent more than a month trying to get SSL working with Apache 2.x, PHP, mySQL and Mambo. Today, with your download I got it done in under an hour. Now to close up some permissions and get my SSL certificates. Thank you Thank you.
You folks are incredible! I'm am actually looking forward to the Mac documentation.

All I can say is a sincere thank you for XAMPP. I have been trying for days and had many more days left to do what you did for me in a few minutes by installing XAMPP. It totally blew my mind when everything worked. You are performing an incredible service to the world. Thanks again!

HI,
Is apachetoolbox with php5 ..? how we can install php5 with all apache module..?
Thu Apr 28 04:29:09 2005
i just came back here just to say that you -- [XAMPP] -- guys are the greatest thing that ever happened since the slice bread, so to speak.
it is not easy to install an Apache web server and it gets harder if you want to add MySQL, openSSL, FTP, mailserver, PHP and Perl --- particularly, i supposed, for fiftyish and older Asian webmaster such as myself, schooled in the gracefully inflected ironies of Bill Gates and Kevin Mitnick, of Carsten Wiedmann, David Harris (MercuryMail) and the guys from Free Software Foundation, Inc.
the ease of the product you produce has nothing to do with the quality of your scripts and installers -- which is exemplarily precise, powerful, and often luminous and most of all FREE -- but with the unyielding resolve with which XAMPP liberate us from the trenches of commercialism and software wars.
It is an ease entirely deliberate, and from which these XAMPP (Version 1.4.13)
installers offer relief. i had remarked to myself, after installing a XAMPP lite version earlier, that XAMPP's installers are so easy to handle, nor settled into unrestful thinking of spywares included; the operative word here is clearly "COMBAT."
the script artist of this powerful installer, of course, is XAMPP, who once pay homage to their software kings even as they take their measure. i must leave it to the professional software critics and scholars of InfoTech to tell us what exactly XAMPP has done in the context of the whole, and -- i am very sure -- XAMPP will certainly do more.
As a newbie i can only only accord them my admiration and respect for your remarkable work that are, again, perhaps an easy but certainly a worthwhile and remarkable installation.
More Power!

Hi, I'm totally new to Apache Friends. I have downloaded XAMPP for Windows 1.4.13 (25 MB Installer), and installed it. The location of installation is "C:\apachefriends\xampp". I run it from "start/Programms/apachefriends/xampp/xampp Basic Start"
"start/Programms/apachefriends/xampp/xampp Basic Restart"
"start/Programms/apachefriends/xampp/xampp httpdoc folder"
"start/Programms/apachefriends/xampp/php switch"
I don't know what to do next. Can somebody help me? I read somewhere to open port 80 (HTTP) and 3306 (MySQL), where I can I set that?
I tried to in the browser "[URLHIDDEN]" and I dont know what's my IP address. Nothing is coming up with this.
In the "XSMPP Control" it says Apache: running, sql: running, FileZillaFTP: stop, Mercury: stop
What should I do next? Please help me!
Thanks

FANTASTIC! Have been wanting to "jump ship" to programming with linux for ages but lacked the experience to get it all working together. XAMPP provided the kick-start I needed....

Hi,
The easiest install I have ever used with Windows XP. I'd tried other packages and just couldn't get them to work. Xampp worked first time. I particularly liked the fact that I can delete it, and re-install it on another drive. Excellent, many thanks!

This package is everything a development environment should be.
It installs so easily you can just get on with actual work, not tweaking config files till the wee small hours.
It's regularly updated, and the updates are also easy to install.
It runs on Windows just as well as Linux.
You guys have done the hard work so I don't have to.

I wondered if your Perl 1.4.12 addon package is working with XAMPP 1.4.13, or do I have to download XAMPP 1.4.12 to use it? Maybe you could clarify this in the next update of your site? Thanks!

Just wanted to add my 2 cents about XAMPP. I spent many hours installing the individual PHP, MySQL and Apache in Linux, never having success. Along comes XAMPP, a simple and carefree installation and setup. It all works flawlessly and allows me to proceed in Linux and leave Windows behind. Thanks for an excellent program.
