Benefits of running Apache, MySQL, FileZilla as services?
Posted: 11. November 2005 08:18
Just installed XAMPP Windows and it seems to be working great! One newbie question though:
I think I understand the benefits of running Apache, MySQL, etc. as services, but if I'm only using XAMPP for local development and only work on it once or twice a day, are there benefits to *not* running it as a service?
Does running it as a service eat up a lot of CPU overhead?
If I don't run it as a service, is there any instability associated with manually starting Apache and MySQL only when I need them, then shutting them down?
Thanks for any insight,
Marv
