WAMPSERVER FREE DOWNLOAD
WampServer is a Windows web development environment. It allows you to create web applications with Apache2, PHP and a MySQL database. It also comes with PHPMyAdmin and SQLiteManager to easily manage your databases. WampServer installs automatically (installer), and its usage is very intuitive. You will be able to tune your server without even touching the setting files. WampServer is the only packaged solution that will allow you to reproduce your production server. Once IT is installed, you have the possibility to add as many Apache, MySQL, and PHP releases as you want. WampServer also has a tray icon to manage your server and its settings.

If you don't have a dedicated box for the install, you can test on a virtual machine. The latest version of WampServer is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. Previously released versions can operate on older Windows platforms going all the way back to Windows NT.

First, to make it easier to clearly identify and work with the newly installed files, we selected an empty, newly-formatted NTFS extended partition and an empty 'wamp' folder as the destination for the install.
