Does WAMP (a server) work with WINE, or will I have to try to find a server that is natively compatible with Linux and attempt to configure PHP and all the other add-ons myself?

Re: Does WAMP work with WINE?
The WineHQ Application Database doesn't have an entry for WAMP.Windows no longer obstructs my view.
Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

Re: Does WAMP work with WINE?
Sorry, WAMP doesn't make sense to me on Linux. Installing Apache, MySQL and PHP is just so easy and hardly any configuration is required. Here's a clear and useful guide:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
Extending functionality after the base installation is very easy. Suppose you want to enable the rewrite module, you just run
and then restart Apache by runningCode:sudo a2enmod rewrite
And supposing you want to use iMagick for PHP you just need to runCode:sudo /etc/init.d/apache 2 restart
Code:sudo aptitude install imagick

Re: Does WAMP work with WINE?
LOL! How true that is
HOWEVER....
It is unlikely you will ever get all the server services working under WINE. My suggestion is this, as I have done it myself and I know it works:
Install VirtualBox (or VMWare if you prefer), and load your WAMP in to the virtual machine. It will act exactly like a WAMP server on your network. I would recommend using LAMP though, but you may have a reason to require WAMP.. this is a good alternate, all things considered.
