LONG POST, BUT WORTH IT - maybe!
Up until last night I had to use one of my domains on the Internet to build a Joomla site. I had tried to install PHP and MySQL on my computer in order to build them locally, but had many bugs and problems in getting things to work properly (ok, coders can laugh).
But last night, while browsing around the the Extensions pages on Jommla.org, I found an application that was , to me, incredible.
Their blurb on Source Forge says it all:
"Ravenswood Joomla Server (previously JoomlaLite) is a win32 web/mysql/ php server for Joomla! 1 .0. It provides a completely standalone environment for development, test and demonstration purposes. No installation is required and no system files or registry changes are required. It uses the well known Uniform server to provide the AMP environment with the addition of the Unitray plugin to control access to various additional options, Joomla 1.0 has been installed and configured."
Within an hour, I used PHPMyAdmin and MySQL to copy my Joomla site from the web to Joomla Server on my machine. Outstanding! No problems!
This morning I copied several test sites from the Web to Joomla Server and now feel empowered! What freedom!
I AM SOMEBODY!!!
Well, I guess it's not that big of a boost to my ego, but I'm very impressed with Joomla Server. Now I don't have to buy another domain to test/build a site.
Best of all, it's free! Can you believe it? Check it out!

I agree Dave. This is by far the best of the bunch and the easiest to use! Glad you had no troubles running it.

I've been using
JSAS (Joomla Stand Alone Server)
for quite some time and it works very well - I'll have a look at RJS, I too noticed it at the Joomla extensions page.

I spent most of the morning (off on Labor Day) downloading my Dev sites and will now work on them using Joomla Server - Yippee! Mostly I'm just playing right now - but when nother serious job comes, just look out!
OK, ready? Put your thumb and second fingers together, roll your eyes back into your head, let your jaw drop open, take deep breath and say, "Joommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmla!"
Of course I backed up everything before I started, just in case. Joomla Dev will never be the same!

Thank you Dave
very very very nice post
just getting ready to install it
was thinking
for online experimentation purposes dave (excuse me bad habit of typing in just lowercase)
why not just make a subdomain (directory) from your main domain
subdomain.yourdomain.com
most hosting packages include this feature --
just a thought
and thanks for saving me from installing a lamp or amp

I use sub-domains, Barbara. Actually, I have 6 right now - plus three dedicated dev sites. I do most of my experimenting and dev on the sub-domains.

Wow! Now I have two Joomla Server configurations. The Joomla Serve uses virtual drive W: and I set JSAS to drive Y:
I haevn't really used JSAS yet, but it seems like a very nice setup. Easy to install, that's all I know, so far. I'm impressed! More comment tomorrow. - "I'm an individual, just like everyone else."
