Running Joomla on Window

So, this article is about Joomla on win32 and NT platforms. As detailed in System requirements, Joomla needs the following (being a dynamic php web page): Apache Web server with PHP scripting capabilities, and a Mysql database. Luckily, there are several GPL-ed packages that bring you these softwares as a whole, and let you concentrate on  Joomla itself. When I first heard of Mambo 8 months ago, I was running Uniform Server for my AMP(apache mysql php) needs. Then I found out about MSAS, which is a out-of-the-box "Mambo on Win32" solution. Currently I use EasyPHP. Anyway, these are my recomandations at the time this article is published: http://developer.joomla.org/sf/projects/jus  The JUS Project, a Joomla standalone server based on UniServer  http://www.easyphp.org/ AMP, which can even run Joomla on a memory stick.
