OSPOS DEVEL for General information about webservers, php scripts, and mysql databases

PICCORO Lenz McKAY edited this page Mar 30, 2018 · 1 revision

Because there are users who need additional information about these things, I will in my spare time answer all the questions that come up in issues that are not an OSPOS issue.

how to use cpanel, how to move or backup mysql, how to move your webserver, More later,

php and other scripts need a webserver and in most cases a mysql database to use and run them. If you do not have a webserver hosted at one of the many webhosts out there then you will need to have a webserver (Windows: Apache + MySQL + PHP & more) running on your local computer, like Xampp, wamp or my favorite, http:https://www.uniformserver.com/

What version of php am I running?

Load this file (info.php) in your public_html folder, then run the script, mywebsite.com/info.php copy this code

<?php // Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL phpinfo(); ?>

to notepad and save as All Files (.) named info.php

you can find more information here: http:https://php.net/manual/en/function.phpinfo.php

Moving your files and system to new local computer?

If you use Uniform Server then all that is needed to move your system is just backup and move your files. It is the biggest reason I use portable apps (http:https://portableapps.com/apps/) in the first place. I will have to do more research on moving other servers.

Using Uniform Server

Uniform Server (http:https://www.uniformserver.com/) ZeroXIII releases are versions with pre-installed ZeroXIII modules producing a standard WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP) server package. After extracting, servers are ready to run either from a USB memory stick or PC. Apart from changing the MySQL password (optional) there is no configuration required.

Uniform Server uses 7z self-extracting archives. Archives are compressed using 7z and include the 7-Zip extractor. To unpack double click on the exe file this unpacks all folders and files contained in the archive nothing is added to the registry or installed. If you wish to view and extract individual folders/files download 7-z portable from: http:https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/7-zip_portable
