WAMP Development Machine Setup Note

Install vanilla Apache 2.4, PHP 7.0, MySQL 5.7 separately
Not using XAMPP because I don’t like their structure.
And they run PHP by Apache module, which cause bug and crash (Especially on Laravel).

For my own note (For copy and paste :D)

Updated 2017-05-03: Change to fastcgi setup to prevent Apache crashing

  1. The the next occasion I read a weblog, Lets hope so it doesnt disappoint me as much as this. I am talking about, I know it was my choice to read, but I personally thought youd have some thing intriguing to say. All I hear is a lot of whining about something you could fix if you werent too busy trying to find attention.
