Web [Tut] Setting up your web with XAMPP

[weaxer]

In this little guide, I'll show you how to setup a your registrations using XAMPP which is basically a good, stable web server that is really easy to handle aswell. The purpose of this guide is to give knowledge of another web server you can use, instead of everyone using WAMP... there's other things out there. Oh and yeah, I hate WAMP. Anyway let's get started.

Go ahead and download XAMPP for Windows here

http://www.apachefriends.org/download.php?xampp-win32-1.6.6a-installer.exe

Install it. It may take a while, but we're not in a hurry, right?

Now go to your path, eg.

C:\XAMPP\

Now go to your "htdocs" folder, eg.

C:\XAMPP\htdocs

Download a CMS/registration script, and place your files in

C:\XAMPP\htdocs

Set your configs!

---

Now, to start XAMPP, press:

xampp_setup

If it says "sorry, nothing to do", don't worry, just jump to the next step!

Now press:

xampp_start

Now you should see a text:

### APACHE + MYSQL IS STARTING NOW ###

Now go to 127.0.0.1 which is your local host. You should see the index.


You're done now, but note, to stop your server you have to press "xampp_stop".. Or else you might corrupt the files.

Hmm.. good guide.. I think xampp is better then wamp cause you dont have to "On" it 24/7 to get your website up.. just on your comp and it auto starts
