now will start to prepare the server to start write our script
- a simple way
- if you wanna more Details
- or you can use the synaptic package manager
then will install program to admin our database && execute MySQL Query , you can get them from synaptic package manager
- MySQL Query Browser
- MySQL Administrator
you will find them in Application >> Programming >> 1 && 2 . you have to set the root pass word when you install them . that pass you will login with and the user will be “root” . also you will select the server folder on your hard as default “/var/www” you can edit it that folder .
let us test the server
- add new file in “/var/www” call it “index.php” write “<?php echo “you have 100% cooool server lol” ; ?>” , then go to your firefox and go to “http://localhost/” if you see a page with the text “you have 100% cooool server lol” then ok .
- go to application >> programming >> MySQL Administrator && MySQL Query and try your user name “root” and your pass”******” if you loged in then ok .
- create another file in “/var/www” call it “info.php” write in it <html>
<head>
<title> PHP Test Script </title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
phpinfo( );
?>
</body>
</html> - then go to your FF and go to “http://localhost/info.php“
phpinfo is one of the “built-in” functions that PHP does. There are many others, but this one is a nice one to use to start of as a test.
All working well so far? Good.
P.S
in Linux you maybe not the root user so you will not be abol to edit “/var/www” then go to your terminal and write “sudo nautilus” then the pass of the root user then edit as much as you need .
OK now your server working well start write some code, so till the next post keep it up & keep freak
