Default Web server for Windows

Hi All,

Basically, I'm looking for recomenedations for installing an Apache Web Server with PHP and MySqL to use for testing on my computer. I tried XAMP a few months ago and while it worked but didn't seem to run really well. It really hogged resources on my computer although an easy install.

Now, I just downloaded IBsever, which I found under the neato utilities on OSCDOX but it's using these older versions of software:
Apache WebServer 1.3.26
PHP Script Language 4.2.3
MySQL Database 3.23.52
phpMyAdmin Database Manager 2.3.0

So, does anyone have a better alternative. One that's not to difficult to install , but using more updated software, or is that not very important?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks jpf, I'll give that one a try too. I downloaded and installed apache2triad and it's an amazing collection but is a bit more than I need, but it's very cool and I might just stick with it. Certainly, a lot to work with and learn from. Maybe one of these can be put under the downloads section here. It's a pain making certain changes and uploading to see the results and I'm hoping to get the live view to work better on Dreamweaver using localhost. I ran into snags with Xamp.

I like apache2triad because it has openSSL included and you can fully test all the ssl features of osC as well. Actually, I like it for a lot of reasons, but it also has a built in mail server so you can test all the mailing features of osC as well.

That makes a lot of sense and I wondered about the SSL feature, but I hadn't even considered the mail feature aspect. It seems to be a very well thought out and complete package. Some of it is a little intimidating but I imagine I can get the answers I need from the readme files.

One question though, are there any security risks to my computer that are not covered or obvious?

No risks as long as you keep the ports behind a router and closed to the outside world.

The apache2triad forums are pretty good for answers too...
