Once XAMPP is installed, it is possible to treat a local host like a remote host by connecting using an FTP client. XAMPP also provides support for creating and manipulating databases in MariaDB and SQLite, among others. A special tool is provided to password-protect the most important parts of the package. XAMPP has the ability to serve web pages on the World Wide Web.

To make this as easy as possible, many important security features are disabled by default. Officially, XAMPP's designers intended it for use only as a development tool, to allow website designers and programmers to test their work on their own computers without any access to the Internet. Later, some common packaged applications that could be easily installed were provided by Bitnami. The most obvious characteristic of XAMPP is the ease at which a WAMP webserver stack can be deployed and instantiated. XAMPP is offered in both a full and a standard version (Smaller version). Self-contained, multiple instances of XAMPP can exist on a single computer, and any given instance can be copied from one computer to another. It also comes with a number of other modules, including OpenSSL, phpMyAdmin, MediaWiki, Joomla, WordPress and more. XAMPP is regularly updated to the latest releases of Apache, MariaDB, PHP and Perl. The Windows version of XAMPP requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable. XAMPP requires only one zip, tar, 7z, or exe file to be downloaded and run, and little or no configuration of the various components that make up the web server is required. XAMPP formerly used MySQL, but this was replaced with MariaDB on 19 October 2015 and beginning with XAMPP versions 5.5.30 and 5.6.14, altering the meaning of the acronym. The Apache Friends website indicates that XAMPP stands for 'XAMPP Apache + MariaDB + PHP + Perl',] is a recursive acronym. XAMPP's ease of deployment means a WAMP or LAMP stack can be installed quickly and simply on an operating system by a developer, with the advantage that common add-in applications such as WordPress and Joomla! can also be installed with similar ease using Bitnami. Since most actual web server deployments use the same components as XAMPP, it makes transitioning from a local test server to a live server possible. æ m p/) is a free and open-source cross-platform web server solution stack package developed by Apache Friends, consisting mainly of the Apache HTTP Server, MariaDB database, and interpreters for scripts written in the PHP and Perl programming languages.
