Compact Web Server

nigeledge

I'm looking for a very lite web server with php and mysql support for a windows platform. Anything out there I'm unaware of?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know. I'm running Apache Webserver with PHP 4.2.2 and MySQL 4.0 beta on 4 machines running Win XP Pro, Win 98 2nd Edition, Win ME, and Win 95 on them. I'm running 95 on a big, fat 10-year old laptop that only holds 24 megs of RAM. Apache still runs fine and so does MySQL and PHP.

10 years old? :eek: 😃 95 handles just fine if you only want it for localhost and won't open it up to the net.

Apache is probably the easiest to configure for PHP but I also use Xitami as it's a very small program and has its own admin panel.

You can get it from: http://www.xitami.com/download.htm

I would have thought that IIS was the easiest to configure. it took me less time to configure that than Apache....

For my use at least, the default settings for Apache are almost exactly what I need. All I have to do is change DocumentRoot, add in the modules for php, AddType and I'm done. 🙂

if you want to max out the compactness concerning webservers i'd recommend Devwex -- it is written in Java running on all systems with a jvm and is less than 100 kb big!

it works with php (sapi). if you are using windows, there is even a native binary saving the hassle of installing jre...
