| Nov 20, 2013 at 7:01 | comment | added | Jason C | possible duplicate of There're Stack Overflow, Server Fault, and more -- where should I ask my question? -- Because, essentially, that's what this question is. The WAMP part is inconsequential. | |
| Nov 20, 2013 at 6:58 | comment | added | Jason C | @UphillLuge There are many ways to get rid of a sucky question. You could leave a comment to the poster explaining how to make it less sucky. You could vote to close it. You could flag it for moderator attention. You could downvote it in the hope that if enough people agree with you it will prompt the poster to remove/improve it. Simply saying "WAMP questions aren't allowed" won't actually do anything; it won't stop the questions from being asked. At best, it will stop people from tagging them as "wamp", thus making them harder for us to identify. | |
| Nov 20, 2013 at 6:53 | comment | added | Jason C | You list two concerns, and WAMP actually has nothing to do with those. The true concerns are in general: questions that mention irrelevant details, and questions about software configuration that are better for Server Fault. Specifically mentioning WAMP is, ironically, an irrelevant detail. Your concerns hold true for any topic. | |

| Nov 20, 2013 at 1:43 | comment | added | Uphill Luge | So how exactly can we get rid of a sucky question? Few good choices left after the last change, the "off topic because..." bullet has some handy ones. So, yes, it's off topic in practice. | |
| Nov 19, 2013 at 23:16 | comment | added | rakslice | Could you clarify what you mean by WAMP? As Travis J pointed out, Server Fault's WAMP tag is apparently for "preconfigured packages that include those components [...] usually meant for development purposes only", while most readers are going to interpret it as Apache-MySQL-P* on Windows generally, by parallel with "LAMP". | |

| Nov 19, 2013 at 21:43 | comment | added | Izkata | @SJuan76 Depends on where you work, I suppose. All our products have their own webserver, their own database server, and so on. | |
| Nov 19, 2013 at 20:46 | comment | added | fuxia | What about webmasters.se? They accept .htaccess questions. | |
| Nov 19, 2013 at 20:17 | comment | added | SJuan76 | @HC_ Wamp`is not bad per se, but in a professional environment you won't have a stack of webserver+database+OS for your app. Your app will be in a webserver shared with other applications, and your DB in a DBMS with other DB. Most likely, each of these will be in different machines, with HW optimized and tuned for its different profiles. Not to mention that the IT dept. may prefer to use another web server or DBMS. It is ok for home development and you will learn lots of things useful for enterprise, but it is sheldom an enterprise setup. | |
| Nov 19, 2013 at 19:36 | comment | added | Shog9 Mod | The pre-packaged systems are considered inferior production environments, @HC_ - that's simply not what they're intended for. They're only inferior testing environments if whatever you're testing behaves differently in production. | |

Used the official names of the sites. Added some context.

| Nov 19, 2013 at 17:46 | comment | added | HC_ | I just stumbled upon this question.. I am a new (1 year~) web developer who at home, uses WAMP (php apache[xampp] mysql) and at a new job I use MSSQL. This thread seems to imply (or state) that WAMP is a very inferior testing environment, am I reading this correctly? | |

| Nov 19, 2013 at 16:33 | comment | added | gen_Eric | But, doesn't SO allow questions about development tools, like IDEs? Isn't WAMP just a development tool? | |

SU is also an option that will come up in this discussion.

| Nov 19, 2013 at 15:57 | comment | added | Pekka | The thing is that "Helpz my WAMP doesnt workz" questions tend to fare badly on SF, so it may not be possible to create a general guideline | |
