Running AMP (apache mysql php) on Android [closed]

Finally - someone has released the full package!

Bit Web Server (AMP; also see their homepage) stack running on Android. No hacking required. $2 to pay though!

If you are looking for a stack for iOS then the cydia-ios-lighttpd-php-mysql-web-stack does the trick: Should run lighttpd + php 5.4 + mysql - unfortunately only on jailbroken devices.

Edit: In case anyone is interested I have switched to Windows 8 tablet which happily runs all of the opensource AMP stacks. Runs very nicely and with a bit of Bootstrap styling I have a full feature sales order "app" for nothing. Little bit of code to sync back to the online version - no need to spend $50 per month per user on HandShake or similar.

If you're not stuck with PHP and MySql, then another option would be to use Html 5.

Then your site can run in the browser on iOS and (most) versions of android. By using offline cache and a local database, you could avoid using PhoneGap, etc. You could also use jQuery if you like.

You would, however, have to use javascript to access the local database instead of php. Also - since the sqlite support is being dropped in Html 5, you would have to use local storage or indexed db. I find the former much simpler and fine for my purpose.

BTW - for developing, Google Chrome has nice tools for debugging javascript.

I'm looking for the same thing, but all I found was PAW Server.

I haven't tried it but I was told it should work just like a standard AMP install but without the mySQL.

The database is what I'm finding to be a pain. I might just have to use a remote DB and local web server to feed from that, but that will mean I'll need to have it always online.
