Uniform Server

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Uniform Server is a free open source WAMP package for Microsoft Windows, comprising a pre-configured setup of complementary open source web server tools, the Apache HTTP Server, the MySQL database engine, and scripting languages PHP and Perl. It is released under the BSD license.

It can be activated without any installation, is self-contained, and the package itself is under 5MiB. For these reasons, it is commonly used to test web applications on Windows, and can also be set up on removable media for a portable web server. However, it is also designed for security, so is also used for actual websites.

The Uniform Server was first developed by Taras Slobodskyy as an application for his clients, but later on, moved to becoming this free and open source project. It is now maintained by Olajide Olaolorun.
