Web-Developer Server Suite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Web-Developer Server Suite is an open-source/non-proprietary, WAMP-based [Windows,Apache,MySQL,PHP], web-server distribution for Windows.
The project was originally started in 2003, with the primary purpose of allowing the user to operate a domain name and website from a local PC for development, testing, and/or self-hosting.
The main focus of this project is to provide a stable, reliable, and secure distribution of the WAMP stack.
The components are built with VC++ 6.0, Service Pack 5, Processor Pack (MASM), and the Feb 2003 Platform SDK (the last 'official' VC6.0 PSDK). This is the same toolchain that 'official' release builds of Apache, MySQL, PHP, etc, are compiled under. VS.NET is avoided, to prevent mixing runtimes between major components, except for mod_aspdotnet builds.
The 'Web-Developer' Server Suite includes Perl, OpenSSL, mod_security, Tomcat (Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages), and mod_aspdotnet (ASP.NET).
This project was also known as the 'DeveloperSide.NET Web-Server Suite', up to September 01, 2006.
