XAMPP - What is...

XAMPP is a package that installs Apache, MariaDB, PHP and Perl onto Windows, Linux or Mac. It is a very simple way to get a web development environment up and running with little knowledge.

WOW! Eli the Computer Guy actually making informative videos about computer science? I subscribed years ago because you made informative videos about technology. This is a straight to the point and informative video, and is exactly the kind of content i originally subscribed to this channel for. You should go back to your roots Eli. I like the old stuff you did like this.

XAMPP is great for creating Web sites locally. I easily installed a LAMP stack about four years ago, but, when I tried to do it again on my new computer, I couldn’t get it to use server-side includes; i.e., PHP wasn’t working with Apache. I read or listened to many supposed experts, and they contradicted each other. I remembered using XAMPP when I used Windows, so I tried it on my Linux machine, and it just works! I prefer to work outside of the Linux core, but I had trouble relocating the root directory, so I just use “sudo bluefish /opt/lampp/htdocs from the terminal. Couldn’t be easier. Go XAMPP!

Long time no comment but dude... XAMPP has been out for a long time, I was using it back in the day to host a web server over my LAN and used the MySQL service on it for a game. but good shit dude. I am happy to see that is still kicking!!! thanks for the vid yo.

So good to hear you explain xamp without the hype and immature intro stuff kinda self promoting. Explain so even I came away better informed. Simply simple concise information

Thank you, Great info. You should add: XAMPP can be installed on a Memory Stick, when I was in school, we had to work at home and at school, my internet wasn't great, couldn't work well with the remote college site. I downloaded it to my Memory stick to set up at school, Turned out I could do all the work on it, bring it home and work some more

Curious! the map behind you (I love maps) is in french, do you speak french? Are you into maps? Lucky you to be have room to put such a big one up. I would have maps on all my walls if my husband would let me..haha.

Interesting. LAMP for our company is Linux, Apache, Mysql and Python
I didn't know there were variations!

Never heard that Perl was part of XAMPP. Can't imagine why. Who needs Perl (a write-only language) when you have PHP? PHP can do anything you need on a webserver; Perl would be superfluous. Matter of fact, considering the way tastes have changed, I would think that Python would have been substituted for Perl. Though, again, doesn't explain why.
