admin — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 13:48:42 +0000

Yeah I know that it’s been a while since my last post about this series. But don’t worry, here it is.

This is the last part of my WAMP setup series

In this part we finalize our WAMP Server (configurations and settings).

1. Create a folder named “php” under “C:/server/apache/modules” directory.

2. Extract your PHP zip file here and copy this highlighted files.

3. And paste it under “C:/WINDOWS/system32″

4. Copy the distributed php.ini file

5. And put it under “C:\server\apache\conf” directory (where your apache’s httpd.conf reside).

6. Create a temporary folder under your server directory (is this case, “C:/server/”). This will be use in your “session.save_path” setting.

7. Start editing your php.in file set your “extension_dir” to “C:/server/apache/modules/php/ext” and load most commonly used extensions. Also set session.save_path here.

8. Now, Start editing your apache’s httpd.conf file. Here, set your DirectoryIndex, DocumentRoot (where your public files are located.). Also change your directory path “” same as your DocumentRoot’s value.

Load the PHP as module in your apache server:

LoadModule php5_module “C:/server/apache/modules/php/php5apache2_2.dll”

Then add the filetype of the php. (you can also add .php5 and .php3 if you want to)

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

And lastly, locate your php.ini, the one that you have edit.

PHPIniDir “C:/server/apache/conf”

…and that’s all. Happy PHPing!!!

If you are new to Code Igniter (sometimes it’s called CI) and eager to learn in a fast way, why not try to watch their video tutorial.

I use this Framework only when I develop an application to a PHP4 based server.
