I have an existing CakePHP that runs on a LAMP environment and need to install it on a USB drive for mass public distribution.

There are a few requirements:

  • Protect the source code
  • No installation required
  • Windows support essential
  • MAC & Linux would be a bonus
  • Must run offline, without Internet connection
  • Ability to sync with server for data transfer and updates

I have conducted a large amount of research into the options and am keen to learn what other developers think.

Potential solutions:
– Flash / XML
– Adobe AIR app
– USB webserver (Server2Go, Portable Apps XAMPP)

Has anyone used any of the above, any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    This is what I used to run a CakePHP app from a DVD. Worked on USB too (while I was still developing it).

    http://www.server2go-web.de/

    Server2Go is a Webserver that runs out of the box without any installation and on write protected media. This means that web applications based on Server2Go can be used directly from cdrom, a usb stick or from any folder on a hard disk without the hassle of configuring Apache, PHP or MySQL.
    Server2Go allows you to create a standalone working web site or PHP application on a CD-ROM.

    It’s really nice.
