Now I will explain how to make computers become localhost (localhost setting) so that it can be used to make the web with CMS without having to online to the internet. As I've said that for the web using PHP and MySQL-based database can be seen in the browser, it needs a server that can run PHP-MySQL programming used to create the web. Server must have several integrated applications, namely:
1. PHP applications. This application is used as an absolute that we use CMS using PHP as the language programing.
2. Apache Web Server. This application is used to execute PHP that is used in CMS.
3. MySQL database. CMS that we will use one of them is Wordpress CMS we've discussed previously is that dynamic web database built with MySQL. Therefore, the MySQL database application that can run the database is absolutely necessary.
These applications, too, who should have in our computers to be used as a testbed. For that, we need to install one by one application. We can get the program from the official website. For PHP applications can be downloaded at www.php.net, Apache Web Server applications can be downloaded at www.apache.org. While the program / MySQL database applications can be downloaded at www.mysql.com.
However, there is a much simpler way without having to install one by one these applications. The trick is to use XAMPP. XAMPP is a software program or already in it terinclude (integrated) applications Apache web server and MySQL database. That is, by simply installing software XAMPP, then both the direct application is in our computer so that our computers can be used as a testbed. Same as the above applications, XAMPP also we can download for free. Readers can download it at www.apachefriends.org. That's the pleasure of using CMS. All completely open source and we can get it for free and allowed to develop its own. How, already didownloadkan?
Actually, the reader who may be using Windows OS, in which already there is a server system that we can use. For Windows 98, the server system is called PWS (personal web server), while for Windows XP called IIS (Internet Information Services). The server system can be used to install components that are usually already found on windows installer CD you use. Actually is there any other differences between the IIS / PWS with XAMPP localhost? Normally IIS / PWS is used to run web applications that require the Microsoft. While the Apache server (which we can get from XAMPP) is usually used for the web that are not used to run applications from Microsoft. Another consideration is using the Apache server so that its open-source can be obtained free of charge. Similar systems are typically used for servers that use Linux as its OS.
Well, there ya again from my personal considerations. I do not have the original Windows installer CD, because the OS that I use now is a result of the manufacturer alias already installed when you first buy a laptop that I use this. Surely readers thought I was using the existing bootleg cracknya huh? Ha3x. Bookmark and Share
