Note! It is not recommended to use a web server collection as a platform for hosting sites both on the Internet and in corporate networks, i.e. they are created for local development and testing only. This is a recommendation from the developers of any web server build.
WampServer is a free build of a web server, i.e. platform for web development under the Windows operating system. This assembly includes all the necessary software for creating dynamic web applications (sites), namely: Apache web server, PHP programming language, MySQL DBMS and other auxiliary software, such as phpMyAdmin.
For those who don't know WAMP is an acronym for "Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP" i.e. a word consisting of the first letters of the listed applications. There is also LAMP, where L is Linux, and MAMP, where M is Mac OS.
WampServer is available for both 32 bit and 64 bit Windows. The system tray icon acts as a control panel here, with the help of which (left-click) you can configure the web server components (Apache, MySQL, PHP), as well as manage these components, for example, stop, start or restart them.
The current version at the time of this writing is WampServer 3, which includes the following versions of components (for the 32-bit version):
Apache 2.4.17;
PHP 5.6.15;
MySQL 5.7.9;
phpMyAdmin 4.5.1;
phpSysinfo 3.2.3;
SQL Buddy 1.3.3.
