Developing in a local environment lets you make changes to dev sites quickly and easily without having to transfer files anywhere. It also greatly reduces the risk of making and breaking changes on a live web server.

While many computers are capable of hosting a WordPress site without needing to install any extra packages, there are a few advantages that a dedicated local development environment can offer. For example: most devs work on more than one project, so it’s extremely helpful to be able to quickly spin up a new web server with dedicated urls.

If you’re developing a WordPress theme or plugin, it’s also often necessary to make sure that your code runs well on different servers, under different versions of PHP and MySQL. Being able to switch those on the fly or at least select different configs for different dev sites is extremely helpful. Most of all though, you shouldn’t have to be a sysadmin in order to be able to spin up, maintain, and tear down development environments on your local server.

So we need something that’s easy to use and will do most of the heavy lifting for us.

Note that I won’t be covering CLI-based local dev environments in this article. We have another complete article covering Laravel Valet, VVV ( Vagrant), Chassis, etc. There are quite a few different applications and tools that fit this bill, but for now we’ll be comparing the four GUI-based tools that seem to me to be the largest players in this space: XAMPP, MAMP (Pro), DesktopServer, and Local. The major differences between MAMP, XAMPP, DesktopServer, and Local is the ability to manage multiple sites and ease of use. While Local and DesktopServer allow you to customize domain names for local sites, XAMPP and MAMP (unless you’re using Pro) don’t.

If you’re looking for a free alternative, XAMPP and Local are clear choices here. The rest of the applications offer paid versions with more features. If you’re making use of WP-CLI in your daily workflow, you might dislike Local. You can’t directly just enter in the working directory and execute CLI commands. You’ll need to go through their application to open the SSH container separately for each site. I personally make use of WP-CLI on a daily basis and this is what’s keeping me from switching to Local completely from MAMP Pro. Let’s have a more in-depth look at these local WordPress development environments. XAMPP, which you may be surprised to find out is pronounced “Shamp”, is probably the oldest local development environment around and possibly the most complex. XAMPP stands for X-platform Apache MariaDB, PHP and Perl – It’s definitely the only local server that still touts Perl support as a major feature, so if you like to keep it TMTOWTDI, then this is definitely the one for you. Though you can also find the Perl command line tool optionally available in MAMP Pro.

Installing XAMPP seems easy enough: just download the correct installer from their website and run it. Thanks for your help.I first tried installing XAMPP under a new user on my Mac laptop.

#Xampp alternativen portable

Since I can't get XAMPP to work I'm going to go with mowes portable instead. How do I fix my problem with XAMPP? I have to use MediaWiki - I'm not interested in tiddlywiki or any alternatives that don't require its own sever, for my needs it has to be MediaWiki. I had apache and mySQL running before but deleted that folder to start fresh after messing up the wiki settings on a new wiki I had made. I've tried doing it on a different computer (a different computer in my house, so using the same internet connection) and with older versions of XAMPP. I've tried suggestions here to fix the problem. If that doesnt suit you, our users have ranked more than 25 alternatives to XAMPP and 11 are available for Linux so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement. The best Linux alternative is Apache HTTP Server, which is both free and Open Source. When I try to start apache or mySQL I get this error ( paste).ġ1:19:52 AM Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.ġ1:19:52 AM This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,ġ1:19:52 AM improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.ġ1:19:52 AM Press the Logs button to view error logs and checkġ1:19:52 AM the Windows Event Viewer for more cluesġ1:19:52 AM If you need more help, copy and post thisġ1:19:52 AM entire log window on the forums There are many alternatives to XAMPP for Linux if you are looking for a replacement.
