EasyPHP, Wamp or Xamp on Vista?

[haredo]

Need thoughts on which one is the best to install and use with Windows Vista

[kobra]

As just a dev base, I like easyphp...

If you want or need mail etc Xamp seems better suited

[haredo]

Kobra,
Is there a tutorial/faq for easpPHP????

[kobra]

Not that I have seen or it is in French???

But is is so "Easy" one needs little

[haredo]

Kobra,
All went well but no little flashing box by the bottom corner of the E when started

1. using Vista
2. error message: unexpected end of mysql

[kobra]

I do not use Vista and have ripped it off every thing I own with Windoze. But as I recall, you must be logged in as an admin to install/run this or any of the others

You should when successful, have a CP in the tool bar at the bottom and all can be run from there....might try if you have it to restart mysql and or both

And don't install in C:/Program Files.

And don't install in C:/Program Files.

Thooters,
Thanks, I will uninstall the EasyPHP 3.0 in the C:/Program Files

1. I hope this is the fix

[haredo]

And don't install in C:/Program Files.

Well, I have seen this problem with xampp.

Are you able to install to C:\ and NOT another folder?

In Windows, I made a folder called C:\web and installed to that.
