Hope I don't upset anyone - I'm a newbie - a no-nothing who has little experience with php, mySQL & apache servers etc. I started out life as an Art & Design student. But after days of hand wringing, hair pulling and general angst, I ditched XAMPP (1.7.2a) & downloaded MAMP. 5 minutes later everything was up & running, no problems, no issues, no weird mysteries with the terminal or BB editing of config files. Don't know about pcs, but in a Mac environment (10.5.7) - it just works, it does stuff that XAMPP wouldn't do (properly). I like MAMP so much, I'm gonna pay full purchase for MAMP pro - multiple virtual hosts - just what I need. If yo'u're running an Intel Mac & want a server that works first time get MAMP - it does what it says on the tin...in my humble opinion...
