WampServer - Install PHP Apache MySQL on Windows

If you are a web developer and want to install php, apache and mysql on Microsoft Windows operating system then I highly recommend you to use Wampserver. WampServer 2 is the new version of WAMP5. You just have to download the latest stable version at Wampserver Download Page. Just Click "DOWNLOAD WampServer" and the download window will appear shortly and then hit "Save File".


After the download is completed, locate the executable file and double click it to start the installation process. Just follow the usual installation steps on windows because everything is automatic. When the installation is finished, run the wampserver executable file. Just click the Wampserver trayicon to manage your server and its settings.


A "www" directory is created (generally c:\wamp\www) when you installed WampServer. Create a directory inside "www" for your project and where you should place your PHP files.
To view all your projects on the browser, click on the link "Localhost" in the WampServer menu or open the http://localhost address.



Now, you are ready to create your projects with php running in apache with mysql for the database.
