XAMPP Ultimate Guide

E-mail

Monday, 01 August 2011 10:23

I am fed up with this XAMPP. I have to research forum each time I start to using it again.

So here is my personal little guide, that will help you set it up in minutes.

First just download the files. You can choose 32 bit version even if you run 64 bit WIN 7.

Just install it, dont tick any of the services boxes.

Then double click on xampp tray icon and enable apache and mysql.

SKYPE

If apache does not want to start, shutdown your skype, because skype is using same port 80.

You can change the setting in skype, under connection, untick the box where it mentions port 80. This should work.

 

After install type localhost into browser url box

http://localhost/xampp/

Click on Status, all the fileds should be green.

If PHP is deactivated, you should put password of your database into this file

/xamppfiles/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php and changing the password to reflect your mysql config

That fixed it for me

Then go to

http://localhost/security/index.php

and you should setup password for root acess and also for phpmyadmin

after you do that you are done.

DATABASES

click on tray icon and mysql admin button.

Here you can create databases.

Then download the drupal install files for example and put them into folder

htdocs/drupal/......

put each site into separate folder, for example I have many folders inside htdocs folder like drupal6, drupal7, joomla, wordpress, magento folders.......

Then just run the site

http://localhost/drupal

WORDPRESS ISSUES

Almost none, but in the first step of installing WP you can get this error

COULD NOT CONNECT TO DATABASE, make sure you input the username, password and database name in the configuration WP file. Then it should work. You have set up the password on your mysql because of security reasons, so you have to use that password now. It should work.

MAGENTO ISSUES

THere is this error that you get

"Please enter a valid URL. Protocol is required (http://, https:// or ftp://)”.

YOu can use firebug to just delete the whole line in html code and it will work great

 

MYSQL IMPORT ISSUES

If you can't import mysql database into xampp, then you might suspect the size and timout limits in the settings of mysql. You should edit my.ini file, xampp/mysql/bin

And change these two lines

max_allowed_packet= 64M
wait_timeout= 6000

Now it should work

I am using this XAMPP, strange name I agree and hard to remember. I used to use WAMP, but I prefer XAMPP now. It is a simple apache, mysql on your pc. If you need to test your site, before uploading to main server, you can test it on your pc.

Very nice tool. I am just testing DRUPAL 7. Getting gray hair with upgrading from drupal 6 to 7.

I just came across this great site, where you can test the layout in different browsers, from IE, firefox, safari, opera, sea monkey, flock .... And the good thing is you can test it in different versions of each one. For example you can test your layout in IE 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. The only problem is you need to wait few minutes till all the screen shots load.

But try it out, you might like - http://browsershots.org/.

I can already imagine how many inbound links will this site get. Many. Probably every web designer is linking already. The problem we experience is usually CSS and different browsers. So you always have to test your site in most of the browsers and spot the problems in layout.

O, here it is. I am so full of energy last month, having so many projects in my mind so I am working almost 24/7. Today our website got PR 4 after first update. Usually sites are waiting for that couple of months or even years.

But I will write more about Page Rank in another chapter. For know let me concentrate on this nifty, superb html gallery that I have just created for you guys.

It can be use for many things like for example: family pictures, childhood pictures, nature pictures, holiday pictures. It can be totally customized and each picture can have its own title. I can change the background also, then the picture border. I used it for my template presentation.

Just look at it. It is really cute, like a small cute puppy that you just want to hold.

Look at different templates and let me know if you like any of them. I can also make you a template from scratch if you would like me to do that. I can make your dreams come true!!!

Each template can be customized with custom logo, text, pictures, flash, java, videos!!!
