AMP package

Sometimes an XAMP is the easiest and simplest way to set up an environment for your Mediawiki installation on your local machine. A XAMP combines your Apache server, mySQL server, and PHP interpreter into one package so that you don't have to install them one by one. The "X" stands for cross-platform; depending on your operating system, you will want a LAMP (for Linux), a WAMP (for Windows), a SAMP (for Solaris), or a FAMP (for FreeBSD). One XAMP that seems to work well is XAMPP.
