I have a xampp server in a laptop with an application running as development environment, and I need to move all the server to a new computer.
Will it work if I copy/paste the complete xampp folder from one to another, or is it needed to “install” xampp from the installation package in the new computer?
I need it to be the exact version because productive environment does not support a newer version of PHP (actual version is 5.5.11).
I already tried downgrading a xampp installation but it seems that I need to install also the xampp version that supports the PHP version.
I did not succeed on finding that specific version of PHP on surceforce.
Any clues would be appreciated.

So I've figured out it can be done. I installed the newest version then copied all config folders from my actual version along with all my files.
I think you should consider to use VirtualBox or/and Docker for future 🙂
