Is it posible to copy/paste xampp folder and make it work in another computer?


I have a xampp server in a laptop with an application running as development environment, and I need to move all the server to a new computer.

Will it work if I copy/paste the complete xampp folder from one to another, or is it needed to "install" xampp from the installation package in the new computer?

I need it to be the exact version because productive environment does not support a newer version of PHP (actual version is 5.5.11).

I already tried downgrading a xampp installation but it seems that I need to install also the xampp version that supports the PHP version.

I did not succeed on finding that specific version of PHP on surceforce.

Any clues would be appreciated.

  • So I've figured out it can be done. I installed the newest version then copied all config folders from my actual version along with all my files.
