XAMPP

Quote from the XAMPP home page: XAMPP is the most popular PHP development environment. XAMPP is a completely free, easy to install Apache distribution containing MariaDB, PHP, and Perl. The XAMPP open source package has been set up to be incredibly easy to install and to use. XAMPP is available for Linux/Mac/Win and there is a portable version.

To launch XAMPP from the memory stick, run the XAMPP control panel:

  • Make sure to exit from Skype or other applications that use the Web port
  • Click on \xampp\xampp-control.exe
  • Then you can start the servers you need, e.g. The Apache web server

Apache Web server configuration principles

You can see part of the configuration files by clicking on config buttons in the XAMPP control Panel

Root web file directory:

DocumentRoot "/xampp/htdocs"

Default index files are resources that are shown when a user only requests a directory. First item (index.php) is most important.

    DirectoryIndex index.php index.pl index.cgi index.asp index.shtml index.html index.htm \
                  default.php default.pl default.cgi default.asp default.shtml default.html default.htm \
                  home.php home.pl home.cgi home.asp home.shtml home.html home.htm
