6 4.2 Configuring PHP as a module of Apache Sometimes, the PHP installation don't allow you to restart the service again. So we will configure the file manually. Open as Administrator C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf At the end of the file, delete the last paragraph that PHP installer created (if not indicated that PHP installer do it that, don't delete anything) and write: LoadModule php5_module c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll AddHandler application/x-httpd-php.php You should uncomment (delete the # symbol in the line) the option ShortTags = On if it s not, otherwise the tags <?,?> won t be read Go to Apache monitor and restart the service clicking Restart Now, create a file into the directory C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs called info.php with the notepad: <? phpinfo();?> Save the file and go to the URL (or in case of port 8080 installation) You should have a page like this: If you don t see this, control the Problems section, at the end of this document.

7 4.2.1 Apache Security Search the line like this: Options Includes Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Then remove word Indexes and save the file. The line should look like this one: Options Includes FollowSymLinks MultiViews This won't allow users to navigate into Apache directory. You should also hide your Apache information. Search for this lines and uncomment it, or create it: ServerSignature Off ServerTokens Prod This for assure that Apache is using a user: User apache Group apache Ensure that files outside the web root are not served: <Directory /> Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Options None AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /web> Order Allow,Deny Allow from all </Directory> Turn off directory browsing: Options -Indexes Turn off server side includes: Options -Includes If your server is linux there are more security options. But this is a guide for windows. There are a lot of security options that we don't include because depends on the use of our server Install a PHP editor We reccomend to install a PHP editor to create your PHP documents. You can use Dreamweaver, from Adobe. As this is not a guide for this editor, follow THIS LINK to know how to install it Josué Gayán Báscones Web Application Deployment 7

8 5.Installation of MySQL This step is simple, because consist only in the use of an installer application, but we have to follow the instructions to have a correct installation. Open the installer. Accept conditions and click next. You are pleased to select an option. You have to select Developer Default that will install all the necessary programs and components. The program will control if you are ready for the installation. Probably the second option is not ready, you have to click Execute and the program will install the necessary programs.

9 Once finished, you will be asked about the type of machine. Select a Server Machine Then, you will configure MySQL with a password. The other options are good in that way. Josué Gayán Báscones Web Application Deployment 9

10 And you will finish the installation. This is the server console. You can create a database also with Workbench, also installed. 6.Installation of phpmyadmin Download the ZIP file and open it. Unzip all the elements (not the folder) and leave it into a folder called phpmyadmin on the htdocs directory on Apache. Now we ll open the file into phpmyadmin/libraries/config.default.php and we will search this line: $cfg['pmaabsoluteuri'] = ''; And we will write the absolute path of phpmyadmin: $cfg['pmaabsoluteuri'] = ' Now we will search: $cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ''; And we will write whatever. This is for encrypting the files. $cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'to be or not to be'; You now need to indicate the type of authentification for entering phpmyadmin. Set this on Cookie : $cfg['servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie'; Copy libmysql.dll from MySQL/MySQL Server 5.5/lib to phpmyadmin/bin Uncoment the line in C:/php/php.ini extension= php_mysqli.dll This should be enough to install phpmyadmin. Now, you should be able to enter Josué Gayán Báscones Web Application Deployment 10

11 7.Problems 1.Apache: make_sock: could not bind to adress :80 That s because a program in your computer is already using port 80 and Apache cannot listen to port 80. Install Apache in port 8080 (or if you know what program has a conflict, change it s port) 2.Apache: Syntax error. The program tells you the number of line. So search for it (it s always something that you write, otherwise you have to reinstall) and correct it. 3.PHP: If you see the code you have to control the option ShortTags, as descripted before, that should be ON. Maybe is also a problem with the httpd.conf file. Control that you have written the correct paths. 4.PHP: If you don t see anything or get an error, maybe you hadn t save the file info.php in the correct directory. Remember that entering is the same that enter into the directori of Apache called htdocs. 5.MySQL: In the installation, I don t see all those things installing. Control that you have selected the right option. 6.MySQL: The program Microsoft Visual runtime doesn t install it for itself. Try to do it manually Josué Gayán Báscones Web Application Deployment 11

12 searching in google. If you can t (I ve encountered problems in Windows Server 2008) install the Server option in the first question of the installation. You will install only a thing but should be enough. 7.phpMyAdmin: You got the error: No se encontró la extensión mysqli. Por favor revisa la configuración PHP. <a href="documentation.html#faqmysql" target="documentation"><img class="icon" src="./themes/pmahomme/img/b_help.png" width="11" height="11" alt="documentación" title="documentación" /></a> Try to do all the steps in this guide in the installation of phpmyadmin as descripted. If your problem continues, you can install EasyPHP that will install all automatically.
