XAMP + Ampstart
http://ampstart.com/

From checking the docs, what you do is setup XAMP on your system, configure and install everything, than copy it all over to a CDROM along with AmpStart. You need to update the INI file as the MySQL database will need somewhere to store new data(Sessions, logons, etc) - so what Ampstart actually does is copy the MySQL database over to a directory you specify on the PC and runs from there.

As an alternative, use a USB drive, you can get 1G drives fairly cheaply and then you will have read/write access to the drive and no need to depend on the directory existing.

I imagine a more involved solution would be to run MySQL and have it place all the tables in memory, so any updates will be done to the memory versions and when you stop the program running it reverts to the default set and does not require a directory on the hd to store data.

Hey All,

A few years my hero Mitch showed up at a tradeshow with Mambo running on a cd in a windows/xp environment. Does anybody know how to do this? I have a client that wants to have his site running off of a cd. I do have a budget for this.

Thanks for your help

Norman
