I am about to upgrade from 3.5 to 3.7.
At the same time I am moving my site to another server, with a fresh winxp install.

Instead of going through the hassle of installing all the serverside component programs (php,mysql, apache etc.) I am seriously considering using a precompiled total web server suite. Will any of these work with EZ 3.7 ?

I was thinking of using this one: http://www.devside.net/ Anyone have any experience with this or similar packages?

edit: while waiting for replies, I searched some more - and found XAMPP, which also looks very promising. http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html

edit2: bah! tried working with XAMPP for a while, but it proved very hard to alter anything in the predetermined Document Folder. The whole thing seemed very unstable.

Is there any reason why you absolutely MUST use XP? Ezpublish really prefers a Unix environment. (PHP performance on Win is lousy and Apache is very unstable as well). And XP isn't what I'd call a useable server OS (even after I discount my general dislike for it)

I have had linux servers before, but I am simply to used to win interface...

Have been running a stable ez site on a xp server for a year now, but it is now time for upgrading and changing some stuff...

BTW, I am now testing WAMPserver, which seems very promising ;-)

OMG !

I can't believe no one posted some info about the installer package - which seems to include all the stuff I was looking for in third party packages...

Kind of annoying having spent many many hours on this, and not one post here about the readymade installer package?

Well, now that I found it (yes, I know I should have seen it earlier - but I did not now it existed) I would like to know more about what is packaged in it....

I'll take this opportunity to plug the completely free AppServ distribution of PHP, Apache and mySQL for Windows. I have used this package to host eZ implementations for years.

It's one of the most popular projects on Sourceforge, if that's any indication of its popularity.
