Hello Everyone,

My live Drupal site is being hosted with Drupal Value Hosting, so now you know what os and software is being used there. I mention this only in the event that it makes a difference if I want to upload from a test server.

I want to set up a test server on a machine that is running Windows XP pro.

1) What is the best thing to use, wamp,xamp, etc.

2) What is the best all inclusive preconfigured install to use for setting up the server, and where can I find it? I realize I will have to download Drupal separately after the server is ready.

Thanks,
Paul

if your host is Linux based, u better use a Linux based as test server.

same versions of PHP, Apache, MySql ....(if those are what your host using)
