OwebPHP is a self-contained website development kit (Web SDK) which allows you to run AMP-based (Apache/PHP/MySQL) pages and services from Windows with little to no configuration.

Disclaimer: This is not intended to be a production-quality package, but merely something which allows you to run and develop PHP-based websites locally, swiftly, and easily.

Usage

1. Unzip OwebPHP-20081211.zip to C:

2. Run C:\Start.cmd (double-click in Windows Explorer)

3. Visit http://localhost:1979/

Really, that's it! You can start putting files into the ./website/ directory or edit ./conf/httpd.conf to change the port to something else.

Stop the server by running Stop.cmd (see Issue #1 for notes on this).

MySQL

OwebPHP comes with both the MySQL server (daemon) and the PHP modules to utilize it. Since this runs as a separate service, you'll have to run an additional program to make the database available.

To start MySQL run ./mysql/MySQL-Start.cmd. To stop MySQL gracefully run ./mysql/MySQL-Stop.cmd, or just close the window (warning: this will probably cause database corruption).

Default information:

• Port: 11979 (not the default of 3306)
• Database: mysql
• User: root
• Password: none (blank/empty)
• Host: localhost:11979

User Tables are unmodified from the distribution. This means that while you can connect as root with no password, it only works when you are doing this on your local machine.

Restore a Dump by running the following from a command prompt: mysql --port=11979 -u root mysql < filename.sql. Change filename.sql to the name of the dump file you're importing.
