Let's talk about what kind of server you are trying to run. There are 2 different types of servers in gaming.

There are the servers that can be run 'ingame' (ISG's) and there are servers that are ran outside of the game (OSG's)

XAMPP works best for those willing to run an OSG server, such as those running a minecraft Server (bukkit, vanilla, smp, etc...)

XAMPP performs more tasks than Hamachi can, however Hamachi is very small and simple to use for those just beginning their Minecraft servers.

I can't judge what kind of server you are asking about running, whether that server is an FTP, CloudOS, Gaming, Instant Messenger, Video Chatting, Social Networking, Mail Server, or a VPS (Virtual Private Server)

However I found a tutorial on running a bukkit server for Minecraft with XAMPP, and most of it can be used on any other type of server, since its a basic tutorial on XAMPP.

See the related link.

:FROM HERE ON, IS OSG INFORMATION, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO ABOUT THE QUESTION IT'S JUST FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT OSG'S:

OSG's are typically ran with a configuration file and another file that comes with the server to control the server settings without shutting your server down.

For Bukkit the configuration file is "server.properties" or a .properties file, which is a file that can be read inside of the server's coding when it was developed.

The properties file is airtight and is very limited according to what changes can be made, however there is 1 property that is named "IP:" which the area outside of the colon belongs to a 4-digit ID known as the internet Protocol, or IP. An IP is used to connect with the WWW or the World Wide Web, you are using IP/TCP protocol every single day.

When running a server, knowing the difference between a Static IP and a Non-Static IP is important.

To set your IP to static you would open up CMD, and type in "ipconfig/all" (without quotations)

Your network information should be shown in the Command Prompt screen.

There is IPv4 and IPv6, only use IPv4 for your 32-Bit server, and IPv6 for 64-Bit servers. (Bukkit only runs 32-Bit servers)

Your IPv4 address looks similar to this xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (x = any # 0-9)

For example, let's say that I was running a server with the IP 172.127.0.9, for the properties file I would have the IP: reading IP: 172.127.0.9, and when I ran that server, it would automatically run on that IP, and when anyone else playing that game wanted to join my server, they would need the IP address and other information (depending on server)

A static IP is an IP that is preset, and it doesn't fluctuate or change in any way.

My IP is automatically chosen by default, which is not static.

To change that, I would get the IP from CMD "ipconfig/all" and then go to my control panel.

Then going to Network and Sharing Center

Then going to Manage Network Connections

Then going to my Local Area Connection (LAN)

Then going to its properties

Then to the IPv4 Configuration

In the General Tab I would uncheck the "Obtain an IP Automatically" box or button and then with my CMD, I will copy my IP address from the IPv4 which was 172.127.0.9

set my Subnet Mask to 255.255.0.0

set my Default Gateway to 124.126.0.1 (not real, just an example)

and then I will set my DNS (both of them)

124.126.1.1 & 124.126.0.1 (examples)

and then I would save those settings, and test them out with my web browser.

If my homepage shows up, then it worked. If it didn't, then set it back to "Obtain an IP Address Automatically" and then try again, but being very careful and making sure that I am copying the right numbers from the "ipconfig/all"

Once you have set your IP to static, then you can use it to run any server.

however a Hamachi server would make its own network connection and you would run your server from the given IP Address for Hamachi, if it is 5.28.0.210 then you would not need to make it static (it's automatically static) and you would put that into the IP: in the server.properties file.

However for other people to connect, you will need to make a network through hamachi using the Create a new Network option in Hamachi

Then you would give out the Network Name, Network Pass, and the Hamachi IP address to the people wanting to join your server through Hamachi.

(They would require the Hamachi client in order to join your network and server)

PHP can be run on Microsoft Windows IIS(Internet Information Server)?

IIS is a Windows-only application, however it's important to note that running PHP on IIS is not the same as running PHP on Windows. XAMPP or WampServer are two choices for running PHP on Windows. However, these two options provide you with some more options. They use MySQL or MariaDB as a database server and run Apache as a web server.

In which os sql server works?

SQL server is a database developed by the Microsoft corporation. The database is built to exclusively work on Microsoft Operating systems like Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Vista etc. It works on all Windows based platforms, but it does depend on the Edition of SQL Server you are going to implement. For example you can run SQL Server Express on Windows Server, but you cannot run SQL Server Enterprise on Windows XP. It will only run on Windows Server systems.


Why must the server program be executed before the client program?

A server program must be executed before the client program because once a client is run, it will attempt to initiate a connection with the server. If the server is down, then the client will not be able to make a connection.

Does XAMPP support concurrent access?

Xampp is made primarily to be used as a local server. It supports concurrent access to the best of my knowledge, however it will most likely be a slow solution.
