Apache Web Server Install

Wewll I got the Apache Web server installed. I did have problems getting the server to load, So I had to try and install it several times getting the error messages that come up when the install is almost complete. to do this I had to keep editing the httpd.conf file till I got it right and the Apache Service loaded up.

Now some things that you definately have to do durring the install. First off I used the name of the computer for the Network Domain, then on the Server Name I used the computer name with a www. in front of the server name. I then had to put in an email address, this is what caused y install problems I never initialy put in an Administrators email address before moving onto the next step.

My next option was to use the typical install in order to get it all installed just fine. If you want to get the Apache Distribution for your machine you will need to goto http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

MySQL Installation

To day I installed the first part. I went and installed the windows version of MySQL the program installed fairly easy. This was installed on a Windows 2000 machine. When I installed it I accepted the following prompts.

Typical Install, after the install then I selected configure the MySQL server now and then the Finish. Was then prompted to select the server instance configuration wizard which I selected the server machine and the default path for this install.

I then set up the networking part. With a default port of 3306 the other mode was disable or enable strict mode. I took the strict mode for now I can at least learn with the strict mode and change later if I want. I then selected to install as a service and I also included the bin directory in the path for working from the command line with MySQL. I then set the password and I didn’t set up the anonymous account. I was trying to be secure about it. The last part is clicking the finish button.

Here is where you can download MySQL installation.

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html

Look for Windows Downloads then download the Windows Essentials file it should have a *.msi file extension.


The next part will be on installing Apache
