Re: Website Baker

FWIW, I couldn't get it to install using WAMPP either. The installer kept coming back with an error that said the Apache server had either shut down or timed out. That was annoying enough. But when I went to shut down Apache via the WAMPP control utility, it wouldn't let me. I had to kill Apache via TaskMan.

Life is too short to screw around with troubleshooting a prepackaged web stack. I uninstalled WAMP (which doesn't do a very clean uninstall BTW) and loaded up my "old faithful" XAMPPlite stack.

Website Baker went in smooth as silk under XAMPP. I was up in less than 5 minutes.

Free Download A Day's latest newsletter is about XAMPP, probably because this just was updated (BETA).
