in reply to Database script - run from CD without installing?

You could download this working Apache with Perl, PHP, MySQL all working from the start (I use it on Windows) ! ApacheFriends . Just install it on one drive's root. Then change the Apache config to use a predefined C:\ folder. Then record all your apps and the complete Apache drive into your CD. When you do the demo, first create the C: predefined folder, and load it with your updatable data, then put your CD and start Apache. You don't need to mention any CD drive. So, it should work fine! Notice that the install doc that I am pointing mentions also installing it all in a Memory stick. Just if you have one, by chance :).

    That signature of yours also hints at a possible solution...

      Certainly, but it reminds me that I am still having trouble with managing my Apache 2 server with LINUX.

      I am not longer caring about security at all! I just want it to work as expected and then I might be looking at the security risks. But my local LINUX Apache server is a mess...

      That is the reason that I am not able to even suggest it to others. I am feeling very paranoid at these subjects :) .

      Besides the security reasons, the Apachefriends solution works as a charm! And that was the subject of the question: to use it on Windows.

      Nevertheless, I love Knoppix and all its magic, (may be an uncorresponded love, who knows :) )

      UPDATED

      Now there is the LAMPIX option! :) . I'll soon be giving it a try...
