Run you're own server for testing phpmysql or just to host you're own website or for you're friends.

- How to ?

download :


Installing:---> 1 minute
***********************************
Unpack the exe where ever you want.

after unpack run serverinst.exe and change
Servername and your e-mail.

Start the following files one time:

start_apache.cmd --> start apache as service
mysql_start_as_service.cmd  --> dito for mysql
mysql_first_start.cmd  --> start mysql now


Open your browser and insert:
Now you must see the start site.

call phpmyadmin http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/ and change the password for the root
and change the rights for the other user
******************************************************
testing:
call: --> local from you're computer
you can also call : (this is the same as http://127.0.0.1)

to enter you're site remotely you need to know you're IP:
get this on :

when you're enter this ip in the browser you can access your site from arond the world.

So we need a free domein ofcource :
go to dot.tk to get one and refere to you're IP.

****************************************
you'll find a map named public_html
imagine you have 10 sites to host so you'll have to make 10 maps insite the map public_html.

let's say we name the maps 1,2,3,4,....
(you can name them whatever you like)

and lets say our IP is : 111.222.233.223
(get this on : )

so imagine we want to call remotely site number 8 for example:
http://111.222.233.223/8/
(http://111.222.233.223/Website_Map_inside_public_html/)

you can not use FTP to remotly acces you're host(public_html map)
to enable this we have to download a FTP server:
Here's a list of free ones:

set for you're ftp server  public_html map as root .

and you're done
Cangratulations, With you're hosting company

Important note for the newbies you're computer has to turned on otherwise you cant acces the server remotely.
and if you use a router you'll need more experience to call the server remotely(from the internet),  but it is still posible to use it as a testing server(localy, http://localhost ( remember))
the benifit in a case of a router is that you can use the server as a intranet site
to know you're ip with a router open dosprompt(cmd in xp)
and type : ipconfig




To stop the server:
apache_stop.cmd   -> Stop apache
apache_remove_service.cmd  --> remove the service from apache
mysql_shutdown.cmd  --> dito for mysql


[edit] I changed the IP addresses you used in this example. there is only 3 digits in each octet and the highest IP address you can use is 255.255.255.255 (broadcast)[/edit]
