I really say its a very hard time for me when started to install

  • 0

I really say its a very hard time for me when started to install these 3 things on my windows 7 platform. I know there is WAMP available to install at one shot. But I for good understanding I want to install these 3 separately and want to integrate it. Why its so clumsy and difficult for integration? Can anybody please advise me how I can do the following?

  1. Which latest versions of these 3 are best compatible?
  2. After installing Apache what in which mode I should run it? Console application or Server Mode?
  3. In apache whats the difference if I run with CGI or without CGI?
  4. What the things or modules or any changes I have to ensure before going to install the MySql and PHP?
  5. When I installed the MySql it tell me that MySql server is installed. Is the my MySql server is another HTTP server? Is it a replacement for Apache?
  6. After I install the PHP what are the minimum things I should check so that I will be ensured that it will work with Apache after integration.
  7. I found the logfile locations for Apache. But where can I find the logfile locations for PHP and MySql?

May be I am newbie in this domain so I am asking these questions. But it will help anyone who want to start newly. Please advise me…

    Ok, I still dont see why you dont want to just install a package like WAMPP/XAMPP or Zend Server CE (personal favourite atm).

    Put it this way:

    1. Generally speaking, all latest versions are compatible, meaning,
      latest PHP + latest MySQL + latest Apache

    2. Typically server mode, but this really depends on what you want…
      this is not something for noobs, again rather use a package

    3. Do you want CGI? or not? Read the documentation on
      http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.1/howto/cgi.html

    4. Dont bother, this usually isn’t necessary – again use a package

    5. Mysql is a Database Service

    6. Browse to http://localhost/ if it works, then it works. Libraries depend on your personal needs, if you for example need php’s
      MCRYPT library installed, you’ll know – install it… if it’s
      already installed, it will work anyway

    7. Google it

    I doubt this will help you much…
