Thanks very much

[Adam123]

I dont get this Download the PHP zip file from http://www.php.net if you haven't downloaded PHP yet. After you've downloaded PHP, create a new folder in C:\ called "Php". Now extract the contents of the zip file to the new folder "Php". Go to C:\Php and rename "php.ini - recommended" to "php.ini". Put this file in C:\Windows or C:\Winnt depending on your operating system.

If you can't follow it, try my tutorial at www.abyssunderground.co.uk/tutorials-php.php

Cheers got PHP install Via u, followed the other one got MYSQL installed now phpadmin, which one is better your one or the other one

[Adam123]

When i go here

http://127.0.0.1/phpadmin

it just showing a list of files

[AbyssUnderground]

Both were designed to be equal but I think mine is easier for people who have never done it before because of step by step diagrams. The other tutorial is for people who have done it before and need a quick mind refresh.

Dont worrie, i forgot to reset the server.

And what you just said below thanks :)

[abyssisthebest]

That is because you have not added index.php to the index files.

You can do this by going to the Console

Thanks again

Also on the main page of http://127.0.0.1/phpadmin/ it says

Your configuration file contains settings (root with no password) that correspond to the default MySQL privileged account. Your MySQL server is running with this default, is open to intrusion, and you really should fix this security hole.


Is that ment to be there. its at the bottom

[AbyssUnderground]

No. You need to set a password in MySQL. I think you can do this via phpMyAdmin. You'll then have to change the phpMyAdmin config file to go with the password changes.

Ok for root have added a password in the phpadmin and congig.inc the error has gone but now this error comes


The mbstring PHP extension was not found and you seem to be using a multibyte charset. Without the mbstring extension phpMyAdmin is unable to split strings correctly and it may result in unexpected results.

[AbyssUnderground]

In the php.ini there should be an extension for mbstring, remove the ";" before it to enable it.

I cannot find the PHP.INI file

[AbyssUnderground]

It will either be in the root directory of where you installed php (default in the tutorials is c:\php\php.ini) or in the windows folder, c:\windows\php.ini.

If you do not have a php.ini (yes its possible) there will be files called php.ini(recommended) and another which i cant remember off the top of my head. Remove the "(recommended)" from the end and leave it as php.ini.

Ok the error has gone now, for the user root i have a password is that ok?

[Adam123]

Ok got my user setup as Adam and a password

[AbyssUnderground]

Yes thats fine. As long as the root user has a password and all other accounts with full access to MySQL do then you should have no problems.

Yes. Like I said above as long as each user has a password then you are fine.

Great, also i have AOL, and a dyminit IP so how would i get a static one?

[AbyssUnderground]

AOL dont offer static IP's so you will have to go to www.no-ip.com or www.dyndns.org and get a domain name from them. Then you use their client to update your IP address to their servers each time it changes. That way you keep the same domain name from them and it never changes. The client updates the IP that relates to the domain name.

If you have a domain like a .com, .co.uk, .net etc then you can use the dyndns or no-ip domain name as a CNAME on your DNS settings so your domain always points to your server.

Its quite complex if you dont know how it works but I use the same method for my server as my IP is also dynamic, although it doesnt change very often (sometimes once a month sometimes once a year).

Ok thanks i am using dyndns and using WebHop

OK this is what i gott

Hostname: adam.endofinternet.net
Redirect URL: WHAT DO I PUT HERE
Cloak URL: TICK OR DONT TICK
Cloak Title: WHAT DO I PUT HERE

Thanks

[AbyssUnderground]

I dont see why it is asking for a redirect URL. This might be for when your offline.

Cloak URL: Its up to you. Cloaking will simply remove your IP from the URL but you wont be able to link to your_url/folder/file.ext if it is switched on.

Cloak Title: Just like <title></title> in HTML.

My error wrong thing, ok i am in no-ip.com

what do i pick

DNS Host (A)
DNS Host (Round Robin)
DNS Alias (CNAME)
Port 80 Redirect
Web Redirect

[AbyssUnderground]

You need to choose "DNS Host (A)" as an "A" record is IP's only. (CNAME is a domain name).
