TYPO3

TYPO3 is a WAMP package that supports Apache web server, PHP and MySQL. It runs from the system tray area and comes equipped with several intuitive settings for helping developers put together a proper local environment for their projects.

The installation procedure does not take a long time to finish. However, TYPO3 takes a while to load the environment at startup.

As previously mentioned, it creates an icon in the taskbar notifications area at startup, thus allowing you to quickly bring up the main configuration panel, start and stop the service, as well as to tinker with the settings.

It is possible to examine log files with any errors, ask the tool to automatically run at Windows boot, delete the log files on exit, allow network access, modify the Apache and MySQL ports, as well as automatically start the servers on start and stop them on exit. What's more, you can pick your preferred web browser and homepage.

No error dialogs were shown in our tests, and the tool did not hang or crash. It has a good response time and runs on low CPU and RAM, so it shouldn't hamper system performance. TYPO3 delivers a simple solution to those who want to take advantage of a straightforward WAMP package, but doesn't bring any outstanding features to the table.
