RE: [PHP] Xampp question, pretty much 0T



Alternatively, I suggest you look into VMWare. There are several free
versions (player, server, etc) if you don't want Workstation (which I
absolutely love!) Workstation will give you such life-savers as multiple
Snapshots amongst other things.

http://www.vmware.com/products/player/
http://www.vmware.com/products/ws/
http://www.vmware.com/products/server/

Then you can setup a LAMP VM with your favorite distro (I use Gentoo myself,
but don't recommend it for a VM as the compilation all the time is painful).


You can download some already setup and ready to go.
http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/cat/53

This is how I do all my development. I run XP as my host OS. VMware is NAT.
Setup SAMBA & ssh on the VM and don't forget to edit your
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" with an entry to point to your VM's
virtual host(s):

192.168.222.128 askeet
192.168.222.128 askeet.LAMP.com

And your /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/askeet.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/home/sfprojects/askeet/web"
ServerName askeet.LAMP.com
ServerAlias askeet.LAMP.com askeet
ErrorLog logs/askeet-error_log
CustomLog logs/askeet-access_log common

DirectoryIndex index.php

Alias /sf /usr/share/php/data/symfony/web/sf
<Directory "/usr/share/php/data/symfony/web">
AllowOverride All
Options FollowSymLinks +Indexes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory "/home/sfprojects/askeet/web">
AllowOverride All
Options FollowSymLinks +Indexes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Then you just go to http://askeet.LAMP.com in your XP host and you're
hitting your VM LAMP virtual host.

Add this to your /etc/samba/smb.conf file:

[askeet]
comment = askeet symphony development VMWare
path = /home/sfprojects/askeet
read only = no
public = yes
create mode = 0666
directory mode = 0777
force user = daevid

WIN+R and \\askeet and you'll connect to that directory to start coding in
your favorite PHP editor.

Works like a f'n champ! :D

I'll also suggest SQLYog and SecureCRT as my two other tools I just can't do
without.

Top posting from my cell...

1. Format hard drive
2. Install redhat fc8 or Ubuntu 8.04
3. Load the new MySQL installation with your backup file

If you really have to stay with windoze, remove and re-install apache.
Look at the system log files as they SHOULD tell you what was causing
the crash.

Hello!

I have been using XAMPP for quite some time now (thanks to the
recommendations from this list) without any real complaints...
and the only reason I am writing here is because i am sure a lot of you
guys run the same thing considering the amount of people who
recommended it to me when I asked for an easy install of AMP.
It was easy to install and has given me months of hassle free use...
but today i have started facing some strange problems of everytime I
start Apache.. it crashes my laptop, anybody else run into this?
I use this only for PHP, no perl.

My config:
Win Vista home premium with all updates and patches (genuine, not
pirate copy)
core2 duo 2ghz
2 gigs ram

Nothing installed today for it to be acting up so.

Do you suggest I reinstall? or can I just reinstall Apache in some way?
If i have to reinstall is there an easy way of backing up my stuff and
then reinstalling then putting my stuff back? (I know i can just copy
the files that were in the htdocs... but am talking about an easy way
to copy the files and the DBs and put them back... or is that just
wishful thinking?

TIA,
Ryan
