# Linux v Windows

 * [18 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/linux-v-windows/)
 * I have two installations of WordPress.
 * WindowsXP: Apache 2.2, PHP 5.2.4, MySQL 5.0.27
    Linux: Apache 2.x, PHP 5.1.6,
   MySQL 5.0.27
 * I use Windows as my testing ground for new plugins before I install them on Linux.
   I realize it would be better to test in Linux since that’s my production OS but
   this is the setup I have to work with right now.
 * Often, I will install a plugin in Windows, run into a fatal error or database
   issue, but will not see the same problems on Linux. Is there some way to get 
   debug info from WP and figure out what the difference between the two installations/
   configurations is?
 * I did figure out that MySQL installs itself as Strict Tables on Windows and not
   on Linux, but that doesn’t fix all my problems.
 * Any ideas?
 * thx
