Moving installation, php7, SSD, Speed
Posted: 20. June 2016 08:04
Hello
1. What would be the best way to move many databases from older XAMPP installation into newest one?
I usually work on my PC and when away from home on laptop. I had identical XAMPP installations on both, so I would always use Acronis True Image for restoring whole working partition.
Now I upgraded laptop with new OS and I would like to try latest v7. I have mostly Joomla installations and recent ones are supposed to work better on PHP7
ATM I know that I can transfer whole httpdoc folder into new destinations, but Id like to avoid manuall phpmyadmin export import because I have like 300 webs there.
Is it possible to dump and import all databases at once?
2. is php7 xampp stable enough to be used without problems?
3. Does anyone have XAMPP installed on SSD?
Prices have dropped so I'm thinking of dedicating whole SSD for my xampp only.
Like I sad I have tons of Joomlas on my xampp and I'm regularly copy paste whole Joomla folders as backup solutions when doing important upgrades.
Does it work noticeably faster on SSD to justify dedicating whole disk for XAMPP?
4. How to speed up XAMPP on WIndows 8 and 10?
When I had it on XP it worked fastest. But with OS upgrades: WIn 7, 8 and now 10 it is getting slower and slower.
It's like 50% slower on my localhost than on slowest shared server online.
It's not slow like I need to wait 10 seconds for query but it's noticeably slower than online. Everything needs extra few secs on local
I tried almost all solutions which I was able to find on net for speeding up XAMPP on WIndows.
And none of them worked as I would like to.
Before I finally give up on Windows and try to virtualize Linux I'd like to do one final "try to speed it up" run.
Do you have a link to proven methods for speeding XAMPP up?
My specs:
Win 8.1 64
i7 4770K @ 4.5 GHZ
16 GB of 2400 Mhz ram
7200 RPM Seagate
Good PSU and GPU
Thanks
Regards
