Internet - Web Servers (5)

@bublible: can't reproduce so I dunno what's going on, can't help you out... But if you suspect a bug, contact the author and ask him: http://www.usbwebserver.net/en/contact.php

@dany: I already did and he replay that we need to edit php.ini in SETTINGS directory, not the one in PHP directory - and it worked! So all is normal now... ;-)

@bublible: Cool.
Come to think of it, you can access all settings through their gui except the php one, so I'm gonna mail a feature request for this ;)

I would consider switching this entry so we list XAMP Portable instead of the full version:

freakazoid: is there an advantage to using the portable version? I couldn't find anything on the site explaining it and the default program is natively portable.

webfork: Because it's their preferred portable build. Not everyone will need the full package. The lite / portable build should be sufficient for people building a website for testing locally and on the go.

I prefer MoWeS (Modular Webserver System).

You can use MoWeS Mixer to download and choose from a whole list of application packages that will automatically install. Easy does it!

Next to this you can download and install external packages: http://www.mowesforum.chsoftware.net/topic/299/90-new-packages/

I've been using Uniform Server for a few years now and I really like it. With windows 7 there does seem to be an issue with stopping and starting the services for some reason. You can get around it by uninstalling the services through the right-click option on the tray menu icon but it won't work through the apanel web interface.
Even with that problem I am still too hooked on Uniform Server to even try anything else.

It seems v8.0 is out. Due to the big version jump I did not want to update the entry without testing.

Amazing program. Great if you need to quickly share files either over a LAN (if you can't be bothered with MS file sharing) or over the internet (file too big to email). Not designed so much for industrial web serving applications like Apache, but it is very simple to use, making it ideal for file sharing.

Small, little configuration needed, supports uploads and passwords, can create virtual file systems (drag and drop files from any location), making it easier to manage than having to drop files into an "htdocs" location in a normal server.

Better than FTP as it doesn't randomly use every port possible, making it friendlier to routers.

It was a godsend.

After discovering this little tool a little while ago, it's became a hit among my friends and myself. It's completely invaluable to transferring files on the same network when you forget your flash drive and transferring large files. Genius!

Genial Soft!! I love it. Forget to share files across Win Domain and annoying file/net/domain permissions/policies :D and has a lot of good features! , we need to consider to Make a Donation!! It really deserves!! - George (mex)
