Depending on what you're doing, these differences may not matter, or they may create significant differences between the way things work on dev and live. While MacOSX is very similar to Linux, there are some differences.
#MAMP VS XAMPP INSTALL#
My personal recommendation is that your dev environment should be as close to your live environment as sensibly possible.įor most people this means Linux, so run a VM (or external test server), preferably using the same distribution as your live server and use the same package repos to install things from. The things you need to pay attention to most are the versions they distribute (and which MySQL distribution they use - Oracle, Percona or MariaDB - there's not much difference between Oracle MySQL and Percona MySQL, but MariaDB has some significant differences) XAMPP is pretty much just another WAMP installer with an easier to google name.Īt the end of the day, it doesn't matter too much which you run. WAMP uses PHP (a script-based programming language) for development and testing. The coding for the development and testing is done by using PHP in the MAMP server. Get Advice from developers at your company using StackShare Enterprise. The programming/ scripting languages used for development in XAMPP are Perl and PHP. MAMP can be classified as a tool in the 'localhost Tools' category, while XAMPP is grouped under 'Web Servers'. They both provide you with an Apache-MySQL-PHP environment that runs pretty much the same under both systems. Aside from that it's a matter of personal preference.
#MAMP VS XAMPP MAC#
There are a number of installers that refer to themselves as "WAMP" or "WAMP" or "WAMP". Other interesting Mac alternatives to XAMPP are MAMP, Devilbox, AMPPS and Local by Flywheel. LAMP is supported by a single platform i.e., Linux based systems. Biggest difference - WAMP runs on Windows, XAMPP is multi-platform. There are a number of different installers that attempt to make installing and running an *AMP stack easier. For you guys who are still lost at what is a server stack Read on. The only difference between WAMP LAMP MAMP XAMPP is the supported operating system. AMP is simply a server stack consisting of Apache, MySQL, and PHP. You sharp ones should already have the answer. WAMP is Windows, MAMP is MacOS, LAMP is Linux (which you tend not to see bundled installers for in the same way because the AMP stack is usually easy to install from your distribution directly). XAMPP Cross-platform (X), Apache, MariaDB, PHP, Perl.
In general *AMP refers to a -Apache-MySQL-PHP(/Perl/Python) stack.
