Why is Apache+PHP+MySQL+Windows XP for testing purpose only?

Post by philwu »

Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie and I have limited knowldege on server technology. I have successfully installed Tikiwiki with Apache+PHP+MySQL on my laptop running WindowsXP. All tutorials I could find online state that this type of installation is for testing purpose only. Why? Now I have assigned the laptop a fixed IP address and I can access tiki from remote. I don't see anything wrong with it. Is it because potential security risks? Or stability issue witn Win platform?

Thanks in advance!
