Which Version would be best?

[YingYang]

Hi Guys.

I have recently brought my own dedicated webserver, as a hobby I play about with PHP and MySQL. My webserver has the following versions of software:

Operating System: CentOS 4.3 i686
Apache: 1.3.37 (Unix)
PHP: 4.4.2
MySQL: 4.1.21
phpMyAdmin: 2.8.0.2

What is the closest version of XAMPP to that I can use a windows machine? I ask this as I know there are certain issues with different versions of PHP MySQL etc...

Any help would be great .

Cheers YY.

This link will give you all the current versions in the Archive:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... p_id=61776

This link will give you all the older versions of XAMPP for Windows. Just click on the Notes link of each version to see what modules and version it contains (some have no information and may require you to download to find out):
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... e_id=89552

Thats the best I can do for you. A developer might spot your post and may have a more accurate list to offer.

Thanks for help .

After reading a few notes ive spotted that the last version of XAMPP that includes MySQL 4 is 1.4.16. But there doesnt appear to be any notes for that version, have you or anyone else got any ideas which versions are included on that release?

Again thanks for the help.

Just as an example, say I created a phpBB forum on my windows machine, created usergruops set up forums etc... would that phpBB forum be able to run on my webserver? (No conficlting versions etc...)

Sorry to keep going on just need to make sure this is right .

You could do that using the latest XAMPP version 1.5.3a.
Then upload to your server after dumping/exporting your data base of course. It seems to be the database that gets people in a tiz woz. Using phpMyAdmin, it is a piece of cake especially as you have phpMyAdmin on both servers.

My advise is to set up on your hosting server then download to your XAMPP server. But the choice is yours. Either way phpbb latest version should be fine on both.
