Anyone who has ever tried to set up an Apache server will have noticed that it is not an easy task. If we also need to install a database manager such as MySql, or a server-side language such as PHP, then things get more complicated. With XAMPP you can install Apache, PHP and MySql in just 5 minutes, forgetting about the long configuration processes that usually accompany the installation of this type of solution.

Apart from the three basic tools mentioned above, you will also be able to install some utilities such as PHPmyAdmin, OpenSSL, PERL or Webalizer that will allow you to unleash your developments for the network. Whether you want to set up a local server to perform tests within your LAN, or if you intend to set up a web server that serves pages or applications to the whole world, this is the quickest and easiest way to achieve it.
