  3. Three things needed to host Web Apps • PHP • Webserver • IIS – Windows Server • Apache – Open Source • Database • Mysql – Open Source

  4. PHP • Wikipedia defines it: • Hypertext Preprocessor (the name is a recursive acronym) is a widely used, general-purpose scripting language that was originally designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages. For this purpose, PHP code is embedded into the HTML source document and interpreted by a web server with a PHP processor module, which generates the web page document. • Php.ini is the file that hold the settings. • http://www.php.net

  5. Web server • Most common is IIS (microsoft) and Apache (open source) • Find apache @ http://www.apache.org/ • A web servers role is to host the app so that other computers can access it via http.

  6. Database • MySql is preferred since its open source and works on many platforms • http://www.mysql.com • Wikipedia, Google, Facebook • MySql ships with no GUI • PHPmyadmin – web based • http://www.phpmyadmin.net • Mysql GUI tools (being replaced by MySql workbench) • http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools

  7. Packages (Stacks) that include all three • Xampp – Apache, Mysql, php, perl • http://www.apachefriends.org • Wimp – Windows, IIS, Mysql, php • http://wimpserver.com/ • Wamp – Windows, Apache, Mysql, php • http://www.wampserver.com/en/ • Lamp – Linux, Apache, Mysql, php • Mamp - Mac • Oamp - OpenBSD • Samp - Solaris

  8. Can be installed separately • Apache/IIS, mysql, and php can be installed separately • http://www.videotutorialzone.com/ • Pros • Easy to update individual programs • Choose which flavor that works with your existing web apps (SIS) • Feels like you have more control • More secure • Cons • Can be difficult to get all three to work together • Takes longer to set up
