Does anyone have suggestions on how to increase the speed of XAMPP?

[Brad Padgett]

How can I increase the speed at which xampp runs in the browser? I have tried editing php.ini and adding to the memory amount but to no avail it still runs slow. For example I'm now upgrading my localhost installation to 2.1 and it's taking so long.

It's always done this in the past whether it's deleting an add-on or anything involving building or rebuilding master data such as an upgrade. It takes like at least an hour if not more to complete.

I would have posted this in development discussion but it's not about coding add-ons so should be posted here.

Any ideas?

IIRC this might help,

Why is the response on localhost so slow?

I am working on a tiny little PHP project for a friend of mine, and I have a WAMP environment setup for local development. I remember the days when the response from my local Apache 2.2 was immedia...

For anyone interested. I found that the best solution for me anyway was to comment this line out of php.ini which disables xdebug

If you need xdebug and use phpstorm you can use the chrome extension and it may work without it not sure. But disabling it and commenting this line out as suggested many times on stack overflow fixed the slow issue on my end and made it run way faster.

; zend_extension = C:\xampp8\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.5.5-7.0-vc14.dll

First open file with Notepad++: C:\xampp\php\php.ini and copy the following code

[XDebug]
zend_extension = "e:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.5.4-5.6-vc11.dll"
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
xdebug.profiler_append = 0
xdebug.profiler_enable = 0
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = 0
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "e:\xampp\tmp"
;xdebug.profiler_output_name = "cachegrind.out.%t-%s"
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_handler = "dbgp"
xdebug.remote_host = "127.0.0.1"
xdebug.remote_log="e:\xampp\tmp\xdebug.txt"
xdebug.remote_port = 9000
xdebug.trace_output_dir = "e:\xampp\tmp"
; 3600 (1 hour), 36000 = 10h
xdebug.remote_cookie_expire_time = 36000

Now start the apache
