It's always handy to have a running webserver on your USB hard disk or pendrive. Yes it's possible. Server2Go is a Webserver that runs "out of box" without any installation. That means it is a webserver that can run directly from cdrom, usb stick or from any folder on harddisk. Server2Go allows you to create a standalone working web site or PHP application on a CD-ROM or in a USB drive. Using a web browser, a user can run php programs as well as view html files on the CD-ROM. He only need to insert a CD with Server2Go under the supported Windows operations systems. The server starts automaticly and opens a browser with the Website of the CD-ROM. For PHP developers and the persons who need to show demo of their work.. It's a great choice for them. Features including:

Free! No royalties
Complete WAMPP Server
Runs directly from CD-ROM, USB Stick or Harddisk without installation
Full featured webserver (based on apache)
PHP 5.x support with many extensions installed (i.e. gd)
Supports SQLite databases
Running on all Windows Win 98 and newer
Support for MySQL 5 Databases
Supports many PHP extensions (GD-Lib, PDO…) by default
Support for Perl 5.8

Download it, you can choose the package which suites you best.

Never thought I can get a PHP Apache MySQL web server on an USB disk. Imagine the portability, not needing to always carry a lot of Cd's or log into my home or work computer.
