"YOU GUYS ROCK! I love the interface on your webdev controller, its strait forward and the fact I can get to all the host files and INI from right there is a blessing.

Even the apache triad doesnt have that. trust me when I say im the researcher type, and I tried about 10 of all the wamps out there and yours is the best!

Thanks again."

"Your suite is so much better than the others I've tried (e.g., wamp). Surely other users of the community edition have noticed this as well. Though I confess I can't afford to buy the professional edition, if you had a paypal tip jar, I bet you'd have more takers than just me. It might add up.

Thanks for your work."

"Hi guys,

Thanks for such a great package!

Just a suggestion.

Should put a paypal donation button.

Some people, like me, don't want the pro version, but wouldn't mind paying a small donation for such a great product!

thanks."

"Thanks for the web-developer suite and controller, it's the best piece of software for running a server on my local pc. I really like the built-in support for Joomla and Drupal!"

"Hello

I just came across your website today and I want to congratulate you for your great idea. I think it is a very useful package. I am a developer who works with most of the resources included in your package, but up to now I installed them one by one.

Best regards."

"I just Love the Web-Developer. I much prefer it to XAMPP. Web developer is running my internal intranet holding up 10 boxes and a shed load of Database queries daily it is truly being a stable platform from which I have been able to build my network and applications and test them :)

Cheers :)"

"Hey DevSide

I finally got around to registering and wanted to drop in a line.

I really like this package and have been using it for about a year. As a hosting provider I am running redhat with Cpanel in a datacenter which is completely automated. Problem is I can not get a Cpanel license from my office servers.

As a developer I needed a local server environment to build developments on without the hassle of FTPing after every change. Which is how I found out about DevSide.

With this application I am able to have a local server environment that I can develop on and still have client view the development as changes are being made. All without FTP, or having to take time aside to learn linux.

I didn't have the time to learn about server administration and DevSide took a lot of the guess work out."

"Thanks for all your hard work on devside. In my opinion, it has made my life as a developer better AND provided me with an education on the step-by-step build procedures for all products included. Both together result in the best WAMP kit going!

Where do I donate to your effort!?"

sipcomm, April 22, 2006

"I love the developerside package. I appreciate your efforts in making this available as a free download.

Thanks again for all your hard work over the years to keep this updated and working! It is an excellent package and I truly appreciate your efforts to make it available.

Thanks."

"Hi-

I downloaded your software and so far so good. I really like it.
Thanks."

"Hi Admin!
Your package is fantastic. I spent my whole weekend trying to build my own apache server with the EXACT mods that you have included.. and then within 30 minutes after trying your suite I was up and running...

I don't normally write e-mails like this but I just want you to know that you are an awesome person/people. Thank you for working with Apache and not conforming to Microsoft's $$ server package.

A life saved by Christ and GPL!
Thank you a million."

"After hours of trying (and serious frustration ) to get PHP 4.4 set up on my machine following the install.txt instructions that came with the download from PHP.net, i got on the internet seeking help: i found your website.

GAWD BLESS YOU!!
thank you oodles and lots...
i am going to forward your link to php.net and give them a blast... there was alot more to it than they laid out--it was never going to work from the instructs in their install.txt file...

THANK YOU FOR YOUR UTTERLY CLEAR ARTICLE

regards..."

"Hello,

First off, thanks to everyone for making such a great suite! I am very new to all of this and you have made my foray into running a server very easy"

"We at DJB Contractors, Inc. decided to try and build our own website instead of renting web host services from MySQL WebHosting [RackSpace].

We ran an Internet Search and after reviewing several results, your DevSide website was used. We tried Version 1.14 with a self-installing *.exe. IT works flawlessly on a Windows XP Platform using php, MySQL, and Apache."

"Hi, I'm using your devside.net server software and love it!

Thanks for the product!"

John, April 9, 2005

"Just wanted to drop a note and say that the site is awesome - the install packages worked perfectly to get me up and running quickly. Lots of great information and useful links!

Again, awesome site. Up and running in minutes."

Jeff Skinner, March 2, 2005

"I originally started trying to setup my WAMP server using Apache2Triad. ( year or two ago)
But, the developer is/was very abusive to people in the forums on the web site (forums are now gone).
He would belittle people asking what he thought were dumb questions (actually call them stupid).

Then I found your DeveloperSide.NET Web-Server Suite for Windows.
Best thing is the easy setup and upgrades - fewest steps I have found.
DevSide WAMP = Easy!

The greatest strength of your project is the easy setup for Windows users.
Linux users tend to be more experienced technically and less likely to use this.
I would emphasize only the Windows version.
Marketing guy talking again. :)"

"Got it worked out, thanks. Your package is great, by the way. I remember the last time I had to go trawling through the net to get apache, mysql, and php all going on WinXP manually was a bit time consuming.

Thanks."

Brian, December 18, 2004

"To whom it may concern,

I had to let you know how much help your site has been. The Windows Server not only is a great tool, it has greatly increased my Linux skills. Even though the two operating systems are so different, my knowledge of configuring Apache has increased enormously.
I haven't tried compiling Apache on my own yet, but I can't wait to give it a go.

Thank you very much."

James Young, October 3, 2004

"Thanks for a great software bundle, it solved alot of problems for me :)

Keep up the good work :)"

"Devside,
Great Server Suite! I've been using it for >9 months without problems.

Thanks."

Kevin Kimick, August 11, 2004

"I think your stuff is fabulous. I just hate the time it takes to wrap my brain around the mysql, apache, php conf files. Since I mess with them only once every year or so, I am like a newbie when I need to make any major changes.

Thanks again so much."

Tommy Davis, July 2, 2004

"I just want to add my thanks. I stumbled upon your site a few days ago while I was in search of a binary Perl for Windows. I downloaded the ssl pack and in an hour I had an Apache server, MySql PHP, PhpMyAdmin, Perl, and Analog all working just fine. It took many more hours than that to get things going on my Linux box, with all the compiling and configuration. Your pack is an unbelievable time saver. Thanks again."

"I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank the admin and everyone that made this site possible. The resources and knowledge base here is tremendous. Thank You!"

Diz2k2, May 15, 2004

"Hi,
I recently installed your web suite which is fantastic I must say."

Diz, May 13, 2004

"In a word, brilliant! I've spent the last 24hrs attempting to setup a server using a year old guide with modern software, and everything kept going wrong! Basically, I don't have net access, so I want a server to run as localhost for the testing and configuring of CGI on my machine."

Ritchie Brier, May 11, 2004

"I installed "DeveloperSide.NET Web-Server Suite version 1.10" and it works fine.

Thank you very much!"

"First and most important, would like to thank you for the "Web-Server Suite" - This is a fantastic item and although I have installed, configured and supported a number of versions of Apache, what you have created, and provided - is simply outstanding. Also a time saver of having to build everything from the ground floor on up."

Fenwick, April 15, 2004

"First I would like to say thank you for putting together a package that has Apache, PHP, MySql, phpMyAdmin, etc. I installed an Apache server a month ago and MySql but had problems with PHP and especially phpMyAdmin. So it was nice to come across your package. I have installed everything and have my web site back up and running."

Anonymous, April 9, 2004

"All I have to say is you really have your stuff together. That latest build worked flawlessly. Please let me know if I can do any technical writing for you/putting together info and help docs, etc...

I'd like to help out somehow, but certainly don't want to slow down the works!"

Mike, April 4, 2004

"Thanks to the devside team for putting this great build up for public use. It really helps make the transition from Cold Fusion/ASP development to WAMP/LAMP development, especially with the expertly configured, nicely commented config files."

"DeveloperSide.NET Web-Server NON-SSL Package, version 1.08 Released December 19, 2003

Is just what I've been looking for! Please keep up your efforts, I greatly appreciate them."

"I teach at the Community College in Nova Scotia and do some development. Your package fits well with my classroom needs for a couple of programs. I'll watch for any change to the availability of your packages.

I just wanted to thank you for making this extremely easy. I'm in the process of migrating my Gallery onto my own WinXP-server and you have made the road far easier.

Thanks again."
