🏢 Core Components
Multi-PHP bundles several essential tools for modern web development:
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| PHP-FPM | High-performance FastCGI process manager for PHP. |
| Nginx | Modern, lightweight, and fast web server. |
| Apache | Robust, traditional web server with .htaccess support. |

Important
Some services might fail to start if their default ports (80, 3306) are already being used by other applications (like Skype or another XAMPP installation). Check the "Settings" to change these ports if needed.
