Sample Apache Setup for Windows
Category:Help Category:Help::ApacheConfig
This is how I've setup up my testing suite of Apache, MySQL and PHP (and yes, I don't like prefabricated bundles with a lot of third party scripts/plugins/apps included). I must stress that this is not something that you would put on a production server! You should also consider this as a stub, not a full blow fool-proof setup walk through - but you should get some hints here.
This document assumes a couple of things, like paths etc. Installation directories: d:\dev\apache d:\dev\mysql d:\dev\php
Development directories: (Since I use more than PHP I have it sorted this way) d:\www\php* <- this is where you'd store your CI apps d:\www...
First I downloaded Apache, MySQL (you want the lighter Essentials package) and PHP.
There's alot of options that you can make to lower the resources used by the install, but I won't venture into that - there's book about it, thick books...
The nice trick with my setup is that by using vhosts (virtual hosts) I have an easily accessible setup for my different projects (not necessarily related to CI), right now I have these cool urls;
http://blog.stardust http://forum.stardust http://gallery.stardustThese are made by the usage of Apache's vhosts and the windows hosts (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) file you can make nice URL's, but that's not the point - really, it makes it alot easier to separate projects and expand/incorporate them.
To make a new "host", you first add it to the hosts file like this
127.0.0.1 mynew.sitethen you add it to the Apache vhost configuration file (httpd-vhosts.conf), like this.
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName mynew.site DocumentRoot d:/www/php/mynew.site ErrorLog logs/mynew-error_log </VirtualHost>another then... reload apache and you're set to use http://mynew.host Code Igniter projects.
This may not make alot of sense on why to use a setup like this, but when you have 10-15 projects/forks/tests running on your can it makes life easier...
Below are my configuration settings... I hope this is of use :-)
