TeaSpoon Magento

Frustated setting Magento development Server on your local computer ?

Me TOO !! , yesterday i was stuck like over more than 4 hours to set up magento local dev server on my comps. I’m using XAMPP as local server.. and the installation didn’t as smooth as usual popular CMS would..
So after i finally get a hand of it ( and tenaciously googling and searching things ), i’m setting this tiny portable AMP ( apache, mysql, php) server. You could extract it anywhere, even copy it on your USB-Dongle so you could carry it wherever you go and work on your Laptops.
However, plz be aware, that i haven’t fully tested it yet. I’ve check it on Windows XP, and runs well. So if you found any error or glitched plz leave some comment here and let me know your Windows version. Every comment and feedback would be very much appreciated.

What is this ?

TeaSpoon Magento is minimal portable server bundled with already installed Magento that runs on Windows. Cooked by am Yahya based on MiniServer by UniformServer.
The MiniServer Line by Uniform Server are smaller cut down versions of the Uniform Server to make a more portable and mobile server environment on the GO.
This bundle is meant to make you be able to run magento from your Windows OS, with very minimal setup. You could also unzip and copy your folder to USB Dongle and runs it from Windows on any your computer ( i.e Laptops ). This particularly useful if you want to develop themes or skins for Magento, or if you want to show how Magento would runs to prospective client ( on offline meeting presentation ).

This bundle only contain bare-minimal server that could run magento, so no SSL support, no PhpMyAdmin, and minimal (only required by Magento) PhpModule loaded.

How to install and run it ?

Just extract it to your drive ( any drive any folder doesn’t matter ). It will then create the ‘TeaspoonMagento’ folder. Then open the folder :

  • click ‘server_start.bat’ to start.
  • If you want to stop using it, you could stop it by clicking ‘server_stop.bat’.

Technical Specs

The Webserver (Apache) and Databse Server (MySQL), didn’t run on the standard port. So you’d still be able to run TeaSpoon Magento on the same computer that runs XAMPP/WAMPP.

  • Apache 2.2.9 Server core ( port : 8098 )
  • Php 5.2.6 core with additional necessary module :
    • php_curl
    • php_mcrypt
    • php_pdo
    • php_pdo_mysql
  • MySQL 5.0.67 ( port:3318 | user : root | passwd : root )

Got better idea ?

If you got question and or some ideas how to make this bundle better please don’t hesitate to drop me a comment here. Or just some word to say ‘hi’ or ‘thanks’ would really makes me happy :o )
