Top 15 Portable Apache, Maria DB, PHP for Windows Alternative and Similar Softwares | Dec 2024

Portable Apache + Maria DB (a popular fork of MySQL) + PHP for Windows is for web developers who prefer manually editing configuration files and want "manual" but quick startup of Apache and Maria DB (no Windows services). No more hunting for ZIP files for each separate piece of software.

If XAMPP and similar incarnations are not really your style (e.g. you prefer the command-line and think phpMyAdmin is for weaklings), then this project might be more up your alley. Note that the primary purpose of this project is to set up a quick-and-dirty local WAMP install that just works and is not intended for use on production servers.
