The Uniform Server - A webserver for Windows

The Uniform Server

The Uniform Server (aka UniServer or MiniServer) is a free opensource all-in-one fully powered webserver that comes with Apache, MySQL, PHP and Perl as standard. Either use it for production or as a live server, perfect for both developers and webmasters alike. Portable enough to store on your USB keypen (20megs in total) and is easy enough to start, simply double click the start.bat file in the UniServer directory and you’re ready to go. (Note: To get the control panel displayed in the screenshot above, you will need to download and install the UniTray plugin from their site.)

The Uniform Server was first developed by Taras Slobodskyy as an application for his clients, but later on, moved to becoming this free and open source project. It’s the perfect system for both beginner webmasters and experienced developers, a fully powered webserver you can take with you on a USB Stick or even your camera’s flash drive. The perfect sales presentation tool. It’s the new world WAMP Package.

This wasn’t as easy to setup as XAMPP. However this does seem more stable than XAMPP and by that I mean I’ve tested it myself. So just remember to read the user manual, download the right plugins, follow the on-screen instructions carefully and you’ll be up and running within 10-20 minutes.

    lol, oh my, and i thought that our server was easier and faster to install than XAMPP. You sure it took you 10-20minutes? hmm, takes others at most 1minutes? All you have to do is click start.bat no installing anything? hmm gotta go back to the basics :)

    Thanks for the mention :D

    10-20 minutes includes the time it takes to read the setup instructions, play with the setting a little and get to grips with the admin features. It didn’t work first time round for me, and it isn’t as straight forward as your web site claims. I wasn’t sure if it was running properly first time round, and the instructions are a little confusing in places.
