PHP MYSQL APACHE

Hello,

I am new to both this forum and PHP.
I decided to install PHP and I followed the instructions on this tutorial:

http://www.webmastersjunction.com/ams/articles.php?articleId=8

I noticed that this tutorial focuses on old versions of php mysql and apache. I tried following the same steps to install the new versions, but it did not work.

I have also looked at many books but they all seem to go right into programming assuming Everything is running fine

I am working with Windows 2000 Pro.

Please send me a link or information on a new up to date tutorial on installing the latest versions.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you :D
 
All three of these products come with ample installation documentation, and additional documentation can be found on their respective web sites. Read it.

The only thing I have to add that won't be covered by the documentation is the order you should install them in. I usually do it in the following order:
  1. Apache
  2. MySQL
  3. PHP
 
I read info like you said, now I am using the tutorial at

http://internetmaster.com/installtutorial/

I have a problem installing apache 2.0.47

When I get to the part:

http://internetmaster.com/installtutorial/config_apache.htm

The DOS window pops up as mentioned but instead of starting up as described the following message appears:

<OS_2> no listening socket found

after this there is a countdown from 30 to 0 and the DOS window closes

after that another DOS window appears saying no apache services were installed and it counts down again and shuts off after 20 seconds.

after this apache shuts itself down I cannot install it.

Help would be appreciated :)

Thank you
 
I found out what the problem was. I was running the latest version of IIS, and this was not allowing apache 2.0.47 to be installed properly.

I removed IIS and reinstalled everything with no errors

Thanks
 
I still consider Apache 1.3.x to be used as php with apache 2 is much on an experimental basis, further its not for production servers...
 
i think what installation instruction in manual for Apache and PHP is enought.

I agree that it's enough, but doesn't the installation process vary for different versions or apache php and mysql?

Only very slightly, but every distribution comes with isntructions specific to that version.
 
only if some new in product.
i think what we have new variant of installation for PHP5 but main installation pronciple Zend keeping.
 
I have php 4.3.3 mysql 4.0.16 apache 2.0.47

are those good for beginners?

any suggestions on what other software I should use to set up the development environment?

thanks
 
yes that is a good env.!
What sort of dev you are looking for?
the above one is great for web dev. with php
 
I am looking to learn to control php and mysql with text commands. I don't want something visual

any suggestions?
 
what you mean by not visual?
you can do all mysql stuff through command line.
but that is really a tough thing to do, that's why they have made visual applications to control all that to make work faster and easier,also it will be fun for you too in command line interface.

Bah! If you don't know how to write a proper CREATE TABLE command without the aid of a GUI, then I can guarantee that your tables are largely inefficient. Manipulating your database from the command line isn't any more difficult -- it just means that you actually have to know what you're doing. [Edit: I mean no offense, sigix, just humbly disagreeing.]

bllott, MySQL comes with a command-line client. It's called mysql (or mysql.exe in windows). Refer to your documentation.

As far as controlling PHP from the command line, well, I don't know what that would accomplish. I mean, PHP works in only one way: you feed it a script and it spits out the result. A text editor, a web server, and a web browser are the only tools you need.

I agree with you.

I use the mysql.exe to train with MySQL
 
Hotscripts.com has some nice automated setup routines that are good if you are setting up a new machine with all the latest versions of Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Perl. Run one file and everything gets set up in the basic settings. You STILL have to go in and configure things the way you will need them, but the basic installation is very quick.
