Setting up WAMP Server on Windows XP

I want a WAMP Server on my windows XP machine (Apache, MySQL, PHP) but all the ones I know of don't support XP (WAMP, XAMPP, Bitnami etc).

Are there any others that I can use?

Ps. I'm avoiding EasyPHP as I have tried it already and had constant problems. Also, Xampp might be compatible but it comes with MariaDb and I need MySQL.

Solution

  • Ok so the ideal solution is to either:

    1. use a newer operating system

    2. Or switch to Linux! (I can't do that because I'm using a work computer)

    The alternative I've found is to install an older, compatible version of XAMPP server (Version 1.8.2) which can be downloaded from here:
