My xampp experience

I could not really find any info that was specific to the problem I have had so I wanted to share just a little bit so it may be helpful to someone else.

I have tried multi times to install 2.5 using xampp 1.8 and all I would get after doing all the steps was a white screen. It never showed an error just a plan white screen.
After reading where some people where having problems with php 5.4 I decided to go back on version of xampp to 1.7.7 and seen that this has an earlier version of php 5.3
Everything installed the same way and this time there was no problems for me, everything was working fine for what I have messed with so far.
I didnt see anything specific for this so i just wanted to pass what worked for me.

Yes, I had read that first and came to the conclusion that php 5.4 was giving problems because of it being so new. I seen where some said they would revert back to an earlier version but I was not sure how far back so I was able to just go back one version of xampp and wanted to show that it was ver 1.7.7 which has the php 5.3 and it helped answer a question where someone asked if it was working fine with 5.3.
thank you for posting the link as it can only help Smile

gator i use uWamp and love it. Besides the fact that i can add different php and mysql versions depending on my needs at the time it has a great GUI which helps me a lot.

I have started to use wampserver too, it gives me a chance to check both to see if there is any difference between them...
I still like xampp more for the reason of running it on a thumb drive so i can take it with me Smile

but i can say that the wamp server 64bit is fast Smile
