Hi,

For development purpose, can I use PHP built-in server to run SS?

Thanks

I’ve never tried it, but I’m going to say that it would probably be more hassle than it’s worth. The built-in server is fine for testing PHP stuff, but as an application, Silverstripe relies on having various libraries loaded, something dealing with request routing, rewrites, etc.

If you’re developing, then presumably you’ll have gone to the effort of setting up a database server, so a simple PHP / apache stack shouldn’t be too much extra work, especially if you’re using something like Docker.
