Following up on my earlier post on running a web server on a usb stick, here is a list of other free web server software that can be run from a flash/usb drive. These servers typically run Apache, MySQL, PHP, and PHPMyAdmin.

USB Webserver - Portable Web Server. The page for this application is in Dutch. I ran the page through Google's translate service and this is the English it produced (I've included the original Dutch):

Usb Webserver in brief

USB Webserver is een gebundeld pakket van Apache, MySQL, PHP, MiniRelay en phpMyAdmin software, dat het mogelijk maakt om een webserver vanaf een usbstick te draaien.

USB Web Server is a bundled package of Apache, MySQL, PHP, phpMyAdmin Mini Relay and software that enables a web server from a usb stick.

USB Webserver draait onafhankelijk en laat niks op de computer achter, waardoor het ideaal is voor studenten, php programmeurs, beginners en bedrijven.

USB Webserver is independent and nothing on the computer behind, making it ideal for students, php programmers, beginners and businesses.

Het programma is gratis en voor iedereen zeer gemakkelijk in gebruik.

The program is free and easy for everyone to use.

Maar ook voor de ervaren gebruiker is alles in te stellen en net zo flexibel als bij een losse installatie van al deze pakketen.

But for the experienced user to set up everything and just as flexible as a separate installation of these packages.

Uniform Server - WAMP Portable Website Server
"The Uniform Server is a WAMP package that allows you to run a server on any MS Windows OS based computer. It is small and mobile to download or move around and can also be used or setup as a production/live server. Developers also use The Uniform Server to test their applications made with either PHP, MySQL, Perl, or the Apache HTTPd Server."

XAMPP - Portable Web Server
"XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl. XAMPP is really very easy to install and to use - just download, extract and start."

Installing XAMPP to a USB device:

1.Create a folder to be used for XAMPP on your portable device
2.Download the XAMPP zip file
3.Extract the contents of XAMPP zip file to the folder created in step 1
4.Locate the setup_xampp.bat file and double click it to setup the configuration
5.Double click xampp-control.exe and start your server applications via the control panel.

Server2Go - Portable Web Server
"Server2Go is a Webserver that runs out of the box without any installation and on write protected media. This means that web applications based on Server2Go can be used directly from cdrom, a usb stick or from any folder on a hard disk without the hassle of configuring Apache, PHP or MySQL. Server2Go allows you to create a standalone working web site or PHP application on a CD-ROM. "
