spling Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I'm sooooooo happy right now. After months of try over and over to get php working on my windows XP laptop, I finally got it to work. All thanks to http://www.devside.net/web/server/windows/php. If anyone is having troubles doing this like I was, check it out- it's *very* easy to follow and I got PHP working in less than an hour :) Check out RuneScript and RuneTracker!

____ Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I got it working in less than 20min ;) Nice clean tutorial though. When I did it, the instructions I was following were really choppy and using php5 :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x76 Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 You're lucky! I compiled and installed it on CentOS(Linux) without instructions over SSH because I'm too lazy to read anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannibal Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I don't recall having trouble installing PHP on Apache2 on windows. getting php + mysql to talk to eachother was a freaking pita though... (primarily since I'd simply gotten myself the *latest* version of MySQL. Which needs mysqli from php5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three weeks isn't bad. I'm going to have to roll back neodecoder 3 months. In fact, we've decided that we'll just start the site fresh :( Check out RuneScript and RuneTracker!

Mercifull Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 3 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Geez. Its not hard to backup your databases you can even write a script to email the backups to you. http://Backups:[email protected]/bac ... ackup.phps Then set a cron job or something to run that script every * number of days/weeks.

Hannibal Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 yeh you can do that but it is kinda time waste Huh? So if he installs what he needs, instead of installing crap he doesn't need as well, he's wasting time? Weird sense of logic... :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird sense of logic... :?maby you should think logic you can install what you want with wamp and its a lot faster since you have to edit files when you install apache and mysql for php use wamp does that automaticaly you only have to edit config file but that takes like 2 sec and your done that will take like 4-5 mins total and installing apache mysql phpmyadmin and php4 take morel ike 5-10 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannibal Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Maybe you should think logically. You can install what you want with wamp, and it will be a lot faster, since you have to edit files when you install Apache and MySQL. For PHP, use wamp, which does that automatically. You only have to edit a configuration file, but that takes about 2 seconds, then you're done. That will take about 4-5 minutes total. But the security of the entire thing will suck, and you will have no idea how the setup works (unless you have experience with doing it all yourself, which will still mean you'll have to check what the hell wamp did to your setup). Oh, and excuse me for not quoting you literally, but your spelling, punctuation and grammar was so abysmal that I thought I ought to try and make it readable for others without them having to reread everything three times.

spling Posted May 21, 2005 Author Share Posted May 21, 2005 3 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Geez. Its not hard to backup your databases you can even write a script to email the backups to you. http://Backups:[email protected]/bac ... ackup.phps Then set a cron job or something to run that script every * number of days/weeks. It's not as bad as we originally thought. We did find some backups hidden away from april 21st (so a bit less than a month ago), so we didn't lose too much content on the forums, but we decided as we already have projects on the go to redo the general coding of our site, that we'd restore the forums, whilst redoing to site itself. :) Check out RuneScript and RuneTracker!
