"Why use Uniform Server instead of XAMPP or WAMP or EASYPHP?
1. Security
2. Lightweight (xampp 51MB, XAMPlite 28MB. Uniform Server 9.95MB).
3. Easier to use.
4. XAMPP (for example) got lots of unnecessary features, especially for the Xoops community. Despite the small size of Uniform Server, it has all we need./ /Installing Uniform Server will give you, in last versions:

- MySQL database.
- phpMyAdmin to administrate the MySQL database.
- Apache hosting.
- PHP (Has over 100 bugfixes more than what you get when downloading XAMPP).
- eAccelerator to make website faster.

Mini Server (just 5MB) by XooFoo
http://goo.gl/Ke0LW​
A basic portable production server with the added power of PHP allowing dynamic web pages in addition to static htm and html pages.
Designed to allow multiple servers running on same PC or USB discs, these will require a separate virtual drive automatically created. 
MySQL support is enabled further enhancing this server’s capability.
