SETUP MYSQL, APACHE, AND PHP.

SETUP MYSQL AS USUAL.

1. download Apache:
 Go to the Apache Lounge website and download the latest version of Apache HTTP
Server.
2. Extract Apache:
 Extract the downloaded ZIP file to a directory of your choice (e.g., C:\Apache24).
3. Configure Apache:
 Open the C:\Apache24\conf\httpd.conf file in a text editor.
 Find the ServerRoot directive and set it to the directory where you extracted Apache,
e.g., ServerRoot "C:/Apache24".
 Find the DocumentRoot directive and set it to your desired web directory, e.g.,
DocumentRoot "C:/Apache24/htdocs".
 Adjust the Directory directive to match the DocumentRoot

<Directory "C:/Apache24/htdocs">
...
</Directory>

Install Apache as a service:


 Open a Command Prompt with Administrator privileges.
 Navigate to the bin directory of your Apache installation, e.g., cd C:\Apache24\bin.
 Run the following command to install Apache as a service:

httpd.exe -k install

Start Apache:
 You can start Apache by using the Command Prompt
httpd.exe -k start
1. Open the Apache Configuration File:
SETUP MYSQL, APACHE, AND PHP.

 Locate the httpd.conf file in the Apache conf directory (e.g., C:\Apache24\conf\
httpd.conf).
 Open the httpd.conf file in a text editor such as Notepad.
2. Set the ServerName Directive:
 Search for the ServerName directive in the httpd.conf file. It might be commented out
by default.
 If the directive is commented out (preceded by a #), uncomment it by removing the #.
 Set the ServerName directive to localhost or to your server’s domain name if you have
one. For example:

ServerName localhost

1.
 If the ServerName directive does not exist, you can add it anywhere in the httpd.conf
file. A good place to add it is near the top, just below the ServerRoot directive.
2. Save the Configuration File:
 Save the changes to the httpd.conf file and close the text editor.
3. Restart Apache:
 Open a Command Prompt with Administrator privileges.
 Navigate to the Apache bin directory (e.g., C:\Apache24\bin) and run the following
command:

httpd.exe -k restart

1. Download PHP:
 Go to the PHP for Windows website and download the latest thread-safe version of PHP.

SETUP MYSQL, APACHE, AND PHP.

2. Configure Apache to Use PHP:

 Open the Apache configuration file httpd.conf located in the conf directory
of your Apache installation, e.g., C:\Apache24\conf\httpd.conf.
 Add the following lines to the end of the httpd.conf file to configure PHP
with Apache

# PHP configuration
LoadModule php_module "C:/php/php8apache2_4.dll"
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
PHPIniDir "C:/php"

 Adjust the paths if you installed PHP in a different directory.

Edit PHP Configuration:

 Rename php.ini-development to php.ini in the PHP directory ( C:\php).


 Open the php.ini file in a text editor and make any necessary configuration
changes. At a minimum, you may need to set the extension_dir directive to the ext
directory inside your PHP installation, e.g.:

extension_dir = "ext"

Enable necessary extensions by uncommenting the corresponding lines (remove the leading ;), for
example:

extension=mysqli

Restart Apache:
 Restart the Apache server to apply the changes. You can do this from the Services management
console or by running the following command in the Command Prompt with administrator
privileges:
SETUP MYSQL, APACHE, AND PHP.

httpd.exe -k restart

Log in to MySQL:

 Open a Command Prompt and navigate to the MySQL bin directory.


 Log in to MySQL as root:

mysql -u root -p

Create a Database and User Table:


 Execute the following SQL commands to create a database and a table for storing user
credentials:

LOGIN DATABASE CODE

CREATE DATABASE loginDB;

USE loginDB;

CREATE TABLE users (


id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
username VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
password VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL
);

INSERT INTO users (username, password) VALUES ('testuser', SHA2('testpassword', 256));

 This creates a simple users table with a hashed password for secure storage.
