Use MySQL Full-Text

When you are about to develop a database for a large-scale website. MySQL’s Full-Text feature is worth considerable.

Here’s a great article on how to use this feature

How to setup your WAMP with your own choice of directory (Part 1)

Ok, the first thing you need to do is to download installers which can be found to their website. In this tutorial we are using versions:
Apache 2.2.6, MySQL 5.0.45, PHP 5.2.5

httpd.apache.org

http://www.mysql.com

http://www.php.net

Here’s the quick download link

apache_2.2.6-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi

mysql-essential-5.0.45-win32.msi

php-5.2.5-Win32.zip

In this part we install our Apache Server.

1. Just click “Next”

2. Accept the agreement then click “Next”

3. Click “Next”

4. Set the “Network Domain” to “localhost”, Change also the “Server Name” to “localhost”, and lastly set your local e-mail address(you can use your real e-mail address). Then click “Next”

5. Select the “Custom”, then click “Next”

6. In this section, you need to specify a directory for your apache server.(in my case, I use C:\server). Click “Next”

Note: Put also, “apache” as a sub-directory.

7. Click “Install”

8. Installing…

9. You’re done.
