what's wamp? is it another server? so the tool that you are using is inside your cpanel? mine is simply running locally, simulating the web environment. hope to hear from you more...

I used all of those mentioned above + easyphp but I guess WAMP is the best , it's faster and better and also it's regularly updated with the latest Apache , PHP & MySQL versions , you can check its original site

This is if we're speaking about the Win platform , but if you're using *nix don't bother your self just get the TOMCAT , it's so easy to configure and very handy to use and deal with.

I use Apache, always have and probably always will. I'm used to using it now, and I haven't noticed any problems with it, so I'm more than happy to just keep using it.

Today I tried WAMPserver for the first time, I installed it and everything was fine, but then I had to interrupt my work and turn off the computer.Now I've come back and run the program, but the icon doesn't get white and I get empty white pages on the localhost. What am I doing wrong? I guess I should log into mySQL (I have set up a login and a password), but how?
