i first started in past years with mamp pro, after switched to xampp, after moved back to mamp pro, switch to bitnami when it came out and now i want to go back to mamp pro but… (read below) Thanks a lot for this simple and clear comparison because i was a little confuse on which one was the best to use for my development on my mac.
Now you always have chances to explore yourselves and criticise my opinion, I would greatly appreciate that, thank you 🙂 For Linux, XAMPP is an only option between these three bundles.
For Windows platform, XAMPP is a better option.
#Xampp vs mamp install#
But why bother with PRO? You can easily (I really shouldn’t say easily though) install and configure those by your own! Google is there after all. MAMP also has a PRO version with virtual hosts configuration, dynDNS, email, WP/Joomla etc. Let’s have a quick look at the LAMP stack bundles features:. For Linux distribution, you either have to use XAMPP among these three, as the others don’t provide Linux version of the software, or you have to configure individual services.
#Xampp vs mamp how to#
and I tried to find out how to optimize it. I discovered this issue with XAMPP while my Mac was getting overheated, laggy typing etc.
#Xampp vs mamp mac os x#
I used XAMPP earlier in Mac OS X and faced high CPU usage from the “mysqld” service. I’m currently using MAMP in Mac OS X and I’m very happy with that. MAMP also comes for Windows and Mac OS X platform. Though XAMPP is a bit over complicated and includes lots of unnecessary tools that you generally do not need in the local environment, still XAMPP is the best option for Windows environment, I think. WAMP comes only for Windows platform, and I personally didn’t like it at all. If you are using Windows environment, then you can use either XAMPP, WAMP, or MAMP. But here is the trick, that which one is better for a specific platform? XAMPP supports Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. There are misconceptions as well like these are for different platforms. you do not need to do it via shell commands). It’s an ease of use as it includes the automatic configurations, many utilities, phpMyAdmin, servers start/stop/restart interface (i.e. many of you may have configured unmanaged dedicated servers in Linode/ Rackspace etc.), then you do not need to use these bundles. Actually, if you know how to configure Apache, MySQL, and PHP (i.e. These are merely bundled packages with Apache, MySQL, and PHP. What is LAMP stackĭon’t assume something with those software’s original names, i.e. I’m in the development industry for over 10 years and I think now I’m in a position to do a side-by-side comparison of these tools so that the newcomers seek some help from this article. I’ve used all these three bundles over a different time period. I’ve worked on Linux back in 4-5 years ago, then Windows for a long time, and currently working on Mac platform. Why I’m writing this? Obviously, because I’m a PHP programmer 🙂 and I felt how hard it is to decide which bundle (LAMP stack) should be used.
