How To Host Ur Own Site In 2 Mins Php+mysql Needed

[doom145 0]

Run you're own server for testing phpmysql or just to host you're own website or for you're friends.
-needS: a PC that's all 8)

- How to ?

download :

http://server.paehl.de/apache20.zip : 30 seconds

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:

http://127.0.0.1

Now you must see the start site.

call phpmyadmin http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and change the password for the root
and change the rights for the other user
******************************************************
testing:
call:

http://127.0.0.1

--> local from you're computer
you can also call :

http://localhost

(this is the same as http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/)

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

https://www.whatismyip.com/

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 :

https://www.whatismyip.com/

)

so imagine we want to call remotely site number 8 for example:
http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
(http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/)

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:
http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
set for you're ftp server  public_html map as root .

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

8)

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, 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]

127.0.0.1 is your local host ip. Very nice man! I always wondered how I could host a server from my ip.

Excellent tutorial on how to host your own site.But just asking, why do you need it when you can have all that and more effortlessly here at Xisto?

[Dooga 0]

Wow! Thanks for that tip! Even though I won't be able to host stuff on my computer because I have low bandwidth (from my ISP) and I don't want to keep my computer on for too long...

lol, its just an idea i had, and i thought i better giv it to u guys, i was planning to say how to install cpanel, but thats illegal

Hey, this is kinda neat. I can now run my own passworded, underground server! Im guessing this would be useful for those who need a php servert to quickly test the apps they are developing, or something like that.

Nice guide Doom, even though that wasnt' just 2 mins. A good way to test my webpages before sending it to hosting. I tried to install Apache+PHP+MySQL on my Windows XP, couldn't get them to work, after 2 hours I just gave up and decided to find a free hosting site with all these provided. and here I am.

Nice simple tutorial there, has anyone ever used apache2triad? Its about 70Mb to download and comes with everything you need, its free.

 

You can get it here: http://apache2triad.net/

 

Will run on Windows ME but nothing older than that.

Awesome guide... very useful. I?ll try it in the future because recently I installed PHP Home Edition, which is a pack with PHPMyadmin, Apache and that but I?d like to have more control in the installation.Thanks a lot.
