Portable WAMP

A portable Windows-Apache-MySQL-PHP environment

Current Versions

• Apache HTTP Server 2.4.62
• MySQL Community Server 8.0.39
• PHP 8.3.9

Getting Started

git clone https://github.com/park-brian/portable-wamp
cd portable-wamp
cscript setup.js # for git bash, use `winpty cscript setup.js`

Further Instructions

After setup completes, you should update your mysql root password (by default, the root user is created without a password). To do so, launch the mysql client (start_mysql_client.bat), and enter:

SET PASSWORD = 'my_password';

If you need to connect to a MS SQL Database, the pdo_sqlsrv php extension is included and enabled. However, the user must also install Microsoft's ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server.

Drupal Quickstart

# Launch a shell which has the composer binary in its path
shell.bat

# Use composer to create a drupal website under the web/ folder
rmdir web
composer create-project drupal/recommended-project web

# The recommended-project template creates the Drupal root under web/web/, so we should set this as the new DocumentRoot.
# We can do this by uncommenting the following VirtualHost under environment/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
# <VirtualHost *:80>
#     DocumentRoot "../../web/web"
#     <Directory "../../web/web">
#         Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
#         AllowOverride All
#         Require all granted
#     </Directory>
# </VirtualHost>

# Next, start the httpd server
start_httpd.bat
