I'm a newbie to the web, and I feel confident I can produce more than just a simple html.

Thanks

My previous experience of JSAS was a pleasurable one. I duly paid my $10 since it was now expected and I had clients who required a Joomla1.5 site, and my older version of JSAS only supported 1.0x. However, where I previously found the installation a breeze, this offer confuses me. I assume it has taken alot of the guesswork away, but I liked that. Now I don't actually know what my user name is, because it doesn't allow me to choose it. I trust that it is just me, and that I will get it right. Otherwise, previous versions have been very robust and a huge help to me!

I paid my $10 dollars and got what I wanted. I give it 5 stars but a couple of things threw me for a while. Firstly do check that you have nothing else that is supplying a MySQL database to your local PC - you do not need to delete them just go to Control Panel/Administrative tools/services and "stop" them. Secondly you need to install Joomla (from within the JSAS window under Admin) for new sites, but that is kinda obvious after a few minutes. Do take note of the website login details which are in a popup during installation coz if you forget them you need to start again.

I think this app is really good. It runs as PHP 5 as well as 4 which is what I needed coz I had a Joomla com that only ran under PHP 5 and my current providor only supports 4. I could test it. It´s pretty cool. It gives you a MySQl database, PHP server and Joomla in one install. Clever.
JSAS offers the convenience of hosting multiple Joomla websites (both 1.5 and 1.0.x) on your PC! in a matter of minutes, without the pain of getting us into the intricacies of webservers, databases and setups.

Support is also very good and the developer answers the support tickets without delays. One of the main features of JSAS that helps me is to host multiple Joomla installations on the same server and configuring them with ease. We use it for simulating real time scenarios which our customers report bugs in. The turnaround time to setup the new Joomla environments is prety less too! Kudos to the developer.

The wait for the updates has been quite long with the last one in April. Would prefer to have more features like CURL support an frequent updates to the software
