WinNMP is a fast, stable and lightweight portable server stack for PHP MySQL application development on windows, based on the excellent webserver Nginx.

You will find WinNMP to be a lighter alternative to XAMPP and WAMP, with Composer, Adminer, LetsEncrypt certificates, WinSCP, multiple PHP versions, projects, and virtual servers.

Unlike other development stacks, WinNMP doesn't require any additional software and includes all runtime libraries necessary. WinNMP will work out-of-the-box and is safe to install over a previous version, as well as in a folder with spaces or special characters.

WinNMP also supports command line arguments outlined below.

Example shortcut: D:/Work/bin/WinNMP.exe --debug --backup --phpCgiServers=2

-d --debug Display debug messages
-e --editor="notepad.exe" Path to editor to be used to edit configuration files
-s --startServers Starts all the servers in background and minimizes to systray
-k --killAll Kills all running servers and exits
-b --backup Forces automatic daily backups
