Installation and configuration of Appserv

Appserv is a collection of software, including Apache (HTTP Server Software), PHP (Web programming language), MySQL (database management system software), PhpMyAdmin (graphical interface database management software) four components. Appserv is an integrated development environment for an HTTP service. The purpose of Appserv these software together is to make it easier to deploy a complete set of environments on Windows.

Next, we'll show you how to install Appserv.

1) Download Appserv software to Appserv's official website (http://www.appservnetwork.com/).

2) Open the download to the installation file, click the "Browse" button to select the installation location, and then click the "Next" button.

3) Select the components that need to be installed, check the four components and click on the "Next" button.

4) Fill in the address of the HTTP server, that is, 127.0.0.1, the email address can be written casually, keep the port number is 80, and then click the "Next" button

Note 127.0.0.1 is the local loopback address of the computer network (Loopback). The NIC sends the network packet back to the local computer directly after it receives a network packet with a destination of 127.0.0.1. So this address is often used for testing.

　5) Configure the root password of the MySQL server for a familiar password, keep the character set as UTF-8, tick the "Enable InnoDB" option, and click on the "Next" button.

Note InnoDB is the preferred engine for MySQL's things database, supports acid transactions, administrative locking, and has been the default database engine for MySQL since MySQL5.5 . In addition to InnoDB, MySQL has a number of other database engines.

MyISAM is the default database engine before MySQL5.5, most commonly used, which has a high insertion, query speed, but does not support transactions.

The BDB database engine, derived from Berkeley DB, is another option for a transactional database other than InnoDB, supporting other transactional features such as commit and roollback.

The memory database engine puts all of the data into RAM, with extremely high insertion, update, and query efficiency. However, it consumes a memory space that is proportional to the amount of data, and its contents are lost when MySQL restarts.

The merge engine unites a certain number of MyISAM tables into a single unit, which is useful for large-scale data deposits.

Archive is ideal for storing large amounts of data that are independent of history because they are not often read. Archive has an efficient insertion speed, but its support for queries is relatively poor.

6) Wait for the installation to complete.

7) Install complete, tick and start Apache and MySQL.

8) Verify that the Appserv installation is successful, that is, enter http://127.0.0.1/index.php in the browser, as shown in Figure the Appserv Open Project-2.6.0 for Windows ... Content indicates that the installation was successful.

9) Next verify that the phpMyAdmin is installed successfully. First modify the configuration of the phpMyAdmin, locate the phpMyAdmin folder in the Appserv installation directory, go to the folder, find the config.inc.php and config.sample.inc.php two files.

10) Rename the config.inc.php to Config.inc.php.bak, rename the config.sample.inc.php to config.inc.php, and then open the new Config.inc.ini, set $cfg[ ' Blowfish_secret ') is an arbitrary string.

11) Modify the hosts configuration. Open the file hosts under directory C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc to make sure that localhost is not commented out. Because phpMyAdmin is configured to access the MySQL server through Loaclhost, make sure that localhost resolves to 127.0.0.1.

12) Open url:http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/index.php.

13) Enter the MySQL username root and password that you set up in the previous installation process, and log in to the Database Administration page.

This is the installation process for MySQL's web-side management tool Appserv, Appserv can do almost all the Visual database operations. If you haven't used it yet, you can now try its function.

Finally introduce the Appserv installation directory, familiar with the role of the installation directory of the various folders, for later development is helpful.
