PRACTICAL 7_1

PRACTICAL 1:

Installation and configuration of WAMP/XAMPP.

THEORY

Installation of XAMPP : 

1. Download XAMPP from Apache Friends.

2. Double-click the file to run the installer.

3. Click the OK button on the warning to continue.

4. Click the Next button.

5. XAMPP offers a variety of components that you can install, such as MySQL, phpMyAdmin, PHP, Apache, and more. For the most part, you will be using most of these components, as such it’s recommended to leave the default options and click the Next button.

6. Use the default install location settings, or choose another folder to install the software, and click the Next button.

7. Click the Allow access button to allow the app through the firewall (if applicable).

8. Click the Finish button.

9. Choose your language (English or German).

10. Click the Save button.

Configuration of XAMPP:

The XAMPP Control Panel includes three main sections. In Modules, you will find all the services available. You can run each service by clicking the Start button.

When you start some of the services, including Apache and 

MySQL, on the right side, you will also see the process ID number 

and TCP/IP port numbers each service is using. For example, by 

default Apache uses TCP/IP port 80 and 443, while MySQL uses 

TCP/IP port 3306.

You can also click the Admin button to get access to the administration dashboard for each service and verify that everything is working correctly.

On the right side there’s a list of buttons to configure various aspects of the control panel, including Config to configure which modules will automatically want to start when you launch XAMPP.

Netstat will give you a list of services currently accessing the network, process ID and TCP/IP port information.

Lastly, you get the logs section, where you can get a glance of what happens every time you start a module or change a setting. This is also the first place to look at when something isn’t working.
