Apache + PHP + MySQL in Pendrive!

[dr_gori]

It's amazing. I found a [url=http://www.firepages.com.au/php_usb.htm]link with tips on how to install the amp in the pendrive. (AMP = Apache MySQL PHP).

Why have a complete WebServer in a pendrive?
are several reasons:

• You may be making a demonstration in a company and does not want to take an entire notebook.
• You use several different computers and want to have a work environment always close by (regardless of having internet or not on site)
• have some web applications running locally , etc. [/ list]
  
  In my case, I did not follow the tips of [url=http://www.firepages.com.au/php_usb.htm]link since I had the amp running on my home machine, I just copied the Apache, PHP and MySQL and changed the paths of the Apache httpd.conf . The rest, it worked straight that it is a marvel.
  
  After "lifted" all manually system, I created a PHP script that runs all servers. (I rely on the tip)
  
  start.bat

  Select all

  /pdrive/php/php.exe -c /pdrive/php/php.ini -f /pdrive/start.php

  Start.php ]

  Select all

  <? 
  echo "starting MySQL ....\n"; 
  pclose( 
      popen( 
          'start \\pdrive\\mysql\\bin\\mysqld-nt.exe --basedir=/pdrive/mysql --datadir=/pdrive/mysql/data --port=3306 --console --standalone' 
          ,'r' ) 
      ); 
  echo "starting apache....\n"; 
  flush(); 
  pclose(popen('start \\pdrive\\apache\\apache.exe','r')); 
  flush(); 
  sleep(5); 
  echo 'opening localhost'; 
  exec( 'start http://localhost:80'); 
  ?>

  That's it guys. Now I have a portable webserver in the pendrive, and of course, other portatis programs very useful as
  • notepad ++
  • NVU
  • Portable Firefox
  • Putty
  • WSFTP, and there goes ... [/ list]
