UCOSP: status report #6
Sunday, October 25, 2009

Today, in order for me to add modules to PHP easily for drupal correctly communicating with Ingres, I have got Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.3 configured and installed independent form Xampp on a Windows 32 bit XP Home with SP3. I have followed these 2 tutorials: 1, 2 for Apache and PHP respectively.

There are also some other points that one need to watch out for while you are going through the above tutorials:

  • By default, Skype listens on port 80, kills it before you install Apache with default values.
  • If you have default values while you are installing Apache, remember to go to httpd.conf(the configuration file for Apache) and replace the following line "LISTEN 80" to "LISTEN 8080"
  • After all the configurations of PHP, you want to see if PHP is correctly installed. You have a php file only has a single line phpinfo();, and loading up that is giving you a blank page, should go back to php.ini under Apache and look for the variable "short_long_tag". If it is "Off", replace that "Off" with "On", since "
  • On completion of installation of MySql, it launches automatically, need to brings up the ProcessExplorer to manually kill the instance before you can proceed with tutorial 3. You can always see the error log in the .err file under data directory inside mysql.


Next, move Drupal onto the newly configured server!
