I have been using XAMPP to build a local PHP environment for a long time. Previously, I also introduced how to set up and install WordPress locally with XAMPP, as well as how to enable Rewrite redirection for the local XAMPP environment. However, recently my XAMPP has been experiencing a lot of strange issues. First, after installing it, the page would turn into a 500 error after being used for a day or two. Uninstalling and reinstalling it, or even reinstalling the operating system and performing a fresh installation, failed to start Apache and MySQL (not due to port issues). Therefore, I began looking for other tools to build a local PHP environment.
