Can Windows Server run PHP and MySQL?

Question

I know that PHP and MySQL are standard set for Apache server and Windows Server has own native SQL database.

But I have to migrate the system that is written for PHP/MySQL from Apache to Windows Server.

It is possible to install PHP & MySQL on Windows Server 2017 (or another version of it)? Best without virtual machines.

Answer 1

Yes.

• WAMP - Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP
• XAMPP - Cross-Platform Apache, MySQL, PHP and Perl

Or you could roll your own, see here: "A Complete Guide to Installing MySQL and PHP with IIS" - MySQL will install as a stand alone, in exactly the same way it does on every system, and fast CGI can be configured as per this MS article.
