In order to connect my R related stuff to a webserver and MySQL I went all the way from using xampp to setting up my own (W)AMPP (Apache MySQL PHP Perl) to finally back to using xampp. And I’m quite happy about this very last switch to xampp!
Why I like xampp
- it’s open-source and actively maintained (thanks to the guys over at ApacheFriends.org!)
- it can be run as a portable app from an USB device
- it’s hassle free when you want to use an AMPP bundle but don’t like to spend your time configuring the whole thing
