Installing Apache Web Server, php, MySQL and phpMyAdmin on Windows using Appserv Open Project

Installing Apache Web Server, php and MySQL individually on Windows is not easy task. Because it takes long time time to make so many configurations to work well such as editing in .ini setting, httpd.conf and many services and extensions used by Apach…

I’ve tried numerous times to install Xampp and it installs just fine the servers are running, but when I want to go to the homepage it doesn’t find it. The path in the httpd conf is correct and I don’t know what else to do other than unistall it. Never could get Xampp to run correctly. I’ve tried WOS (webserver on a stick) and Apache, php5, mysql and phpmyadmin ran without any problems.

I did a standalone install of Apache, it seemed to do the same thing. the server would run but couldn’t find the home directory. I was wondering if you knew of any issues like this that might help me out.

What I really want to accomplish is to run Xampp on a usb stick but I can’t figure out why it won’t find the home directory.

Oh I almost forgot, your site is great keep up the good work!

Thanks
-Mike

>>Another one is HttpContext.RewritePath in System.Web librar
Yeah. I used to add the URLWriting feature in ASP.NET Project since I dont want ppl to see the paramenter….. It can be implemented in Base Class when we are developing ASP.NET 1.1 project. All ppl can see is like “http://domain.com/p?zdkueldfjie”. act, it’s not about IIS but asp.net

I dont know about Qwerksoft’s product. maybe. I will try it too… Thanks..

BTW, when will you release next theme??

Especially, IIS doesn’t support url rewriting (.htaccess) feature. It is not good for security. Because you know everyone can see parameter when we’re passing data between two pages using GET method in web application. And also it is not good in SEO optimization. I think you already know different pretty url and “&” percent url in Google Search Engine.
But I found some solutions for url rewriting on IIS. One is Qwerksoft’s product name is UrlRewrite but you have to buy it. (you can download and can use only two hundreds manipulation, i think impression. But it good for testing.

Another one is HttpContext.RewritePath in System.Web library, I have not tried this function yet.

(why i know is that I have to care security as a web developer when writing big web application)

As you know, nowadays linux hosting plan are very cheap and most of startup web sites are hosting in it. Because of those reasons.

Anyway, Welcome to LAMP world !!!

>>>Now, what i do is that I install two web servers in same window. When i want to run PHP, I stop IIS and start Apache server. (Appserv has many tools like start, stop, restart and httpd configuration to handle apache server.)

I used to do like that when I was using Visual Studio 2003 which is asked for IIS on my windows xp. But for now, I’m not using VS 2003 on my Vista so that it is okay with one web server, apache. If you dont wanna stop IIS while running Apache, you can change the default port of IIS.

What you said about PHP5 on IIS is right. I tried like that before and faced a lot of problems to run wordpess on IIS Server. PHP5 on IIS make Wordpress very slow to run..

>>For me I’d like to use appserv in windows server because friends of mine and other partners, they’re also using appserv.
Appserv Installation is same like XAMPP

Thank you for sharing your experience.

For me I’d like to use appserv in windows server because friends of mine and other partners, they’re also using appserv.

I’ve tried individual installation for these three products in windows server. There is no problem. but a little bit handy.

But i found many problems when I install latest PHP5 in IIS for using .NET and PHP together. I heard that PHP 5 and latest versions has problem with IIS.

Now, what i do is that I install two web servers in same window. When i want to run PHP, I stop IIS and start Apache server. (Appserv has many tools like start, stop, restart and httpd configuration to handle apache server.)

Appserv Installation is same like XAMPP.
