[FIXED] osFileManager which software package should I use?

Issue

I need to use osFileManager. SO I need to setup a webserver on Windows. Which package is the best?

The PC will be accessed only on a private LAN.

I've tried downloading Apache, PHP, PHPAdmin and MySQL but had a very hard time configuring and installing the software. So I am looking for an installer that does everything and sets up a server.

There are several packages WAMP, XAMP, LAMP and all sound great but I needed the best one for this specific open source project.

I am also willing to use a clone. The whole purpose is to upload a file (replace the existing one) on a weekly basis.

Solution

I'd recommend XAMPP. It took a few times for me to configure it properly. Write down everything. The latest package is pretty quickly configured.

Other tips:

• Save a virgin image of the webserver
• Save a virgin image of your Windows box
• Make backups along the way..for instance use something like Oracle Virtual Box to get it configured in a Windows XP environment. If you have an OEM product key, you may be able to use it in a Virtual Machine, however I'm unsure. A professional license will be usable in a VM.
