Portable USB Webserver

Question

I have project that I'm working on that is going to require a webserver. The webserver will be used to remotely control a presentation using a mobile device.

I see there are quite a few options out there and I'm wondering if someone could provide some recommendations.

My criteria include:

• Portable, fits on a USB key

• Easy to run. A user can just click on an icon, or ideally it would include an autorun command.

• Open Source. I would prefer something licensed under the GPL or similar.

• Runs a dynamic server-side language. I see that most have PHP which works perfectly, but I'm open to other languages.

• Cross platform if possible.

Right now I'm leaning towards XAMPP, but I would love to hear some suggestions.

Answer 1

XAMPP is perfect for this.

Answer 2

I recommend XAMPP, so I think you are on the right track.
