Unix on WinXP - GoFuckYourself.com

How can I run a Unix server on WinXp (for script testing purposes)?

What is the easiest software out there to use to get this done?

Need Apache, Mysql, PHP, shell, java.

Even biggest idiot should be able to run this:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
But when it comes to shell that is little tricky,on your place i would rather install http://www.virtualbox.org/
,install linux on it and then do whatever you want instead bother with windows emulation.

i would install apachefriends xampp, and gnuwin32 tools

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/

take this
http://www.wampserver.com/en/

wamp
gives you apache / mysql / php5 on windows machine

nicedreams · 08-11-2010, 06:08 PM

Thanks. Xampp was the easiest and working for what we needed so far.

No shell on XMPP.

Virtualbox is good.

virtualboxes.org

I have been looking for this same exact thing. Xampp was the only thing that worked and still is only a windows server, not linux so most scripts did not work correctly, I could not set proper permissions on my files and shell commands were useless. If anyone finds a true solution for running a working linux server on a windows machine, please let me know.

Oh... I also tried a couple usb stick servers as well. Worked but with problems. always problems. probably windows problems.

I'd go w virtualbox + a linux/unix distro

Serge Litehead · 08-11-2010, 08:57 PM

i just install apache/php/mysql straight on windows, don't have need for shell and java though

blogman9 · 08-12-2010, 09:24 AM

virtualbox or vmware

The virtual machines are good as long as you have a really powerful machine.

Yes that is only pain in the ass i need to shutdown all other apps running if i want to run virtual machine.

grumpy · 08-12-2010, 12:53 PM

once again, try wamp

blazin · 08-12-2010, 01:27 PM

I'd recommend going the virtual route also...
