Apache

Matt Kaufman — Tue, 08 Aug 2000 21:50:30 +0000

Well, I tried to setup Apache on my laptop (Windows 98 SE) and I got it to work.

I like it MUCH better then ANY other server! It has so many options and add ons.

sambar.com
The site is a little confusing. Check one of the mirrors (Jayln) I think is the best, for more info, thats up to date.

I tried APache but couldn't get the thing to work. Not much of a servereducated person. Know the basics, but te more complex module install et. Is over my head.

I've heard of that server, and that it was pretty good.

What is the URL?

I'veplayed around with Sambar. The new version in beta is great. You'll have to install php and perl etc. When they release the ESS ( a management prog.)ofr this version it will be great. Smabar is more powerful (in my eyes)

Just my opinion.

mySQL on Windows

I thought mySQL was VERY easy to get installed on Windows (98)! I got it done in less then 15 minutes I think...

To eliminate variables, you should try to get your local installation to mirror your remote set-up. There's not a whole lot of sense in using OmniHTTPd and PHP4 locally if your host server is running Apache and PHP3. So ask your host what they use and install the same thing. Some servers like Omni or Xitami might be a bit easier that Apache, but getting a local Apache set-up running isn't hard if you're even semi-intelligent and can follow directions. The process is so well documented that anyone should be able to do it. To get the whole Windows - Apache - MySQL - PHP system running requires:

1)Download and install the Apache/MySQL/PHP binaries
2)Edit about 8 or 9 lines in your Apache httpd.conf file
3)Edit about 4 lines in your php3.ini file

That's about it. Don't be intimidated.

I use apache on my windows computer and the same on my linux computer. SQL for windows is a bitch and a half to set up, not to mention it's not free.

Yep

You gave me an idea for a review!

I will review Omnihttpd soon...

For just testing sites then I'd go with OmniHTTPd or whatever it's called. It looks really good.

Any of these clients will work.
