Creating a MySQL Database Using AMPPS
This tutorial assumes that you have AMPSS 1.2 installed. The procedure should be the same for other versions of AMPPS. An AMPPS installation procedure for Windows XP can be found here.

These instructions are for installing AMPPS 1.2 on Windows XP with Service Pack 3. It should work for other configurations as well. Some images may be clicked for full sized versions. AMPPS is an extremely easy to install and use Apache Server which comes bundled with MySQL (a database), PHP (server side scripting language), Perl (another server side scripting language), Python (yet another scripting language) and auto-installation scripts for 225 different web applications. Why would I want to install it? To allow development and testing on your local machine instead of on a remote (and probably live) server. I use it to test out changes to my website before uploading and committing changes to the real site. Compared to XAMPP, AMPPS is easier and friendlier to use because of its auto-installation scripts. This allows you … Read entire article »
