XAMPP setup preconfigured for IntegraMOD.

[ayasha]

yep, did that, but my concern now is, when i do updates and mod, will localhost carry over to my live forum? that is what i am asking now.

You can integrate new mods and updates in your xampp installation...
There's no way, for them to be transfered to your online forum...
xampp is no FTP-program, and it doesn't even have the permission (username and password) to do so.

But maybe you're concerned about the SQL database?
As long as you are working on localhost, it will only use the SQL from localhost...

[ayasha]

ok, let me put it this way

i want to do a mod

i mod the files on my localhost and all works fine

i open up my ftp program, transfer the modded files to my live forum

i go to myphpadmin in my cpanel and run the sql quieries.

will there be anything in the modded files, that will carry the url 'localhost' over to the live forum?

Cleo, those files call a domainname, specified in config.php
Only config.php holds the information to a domainname, MOD's never take place on config.php
Just never overwrite config.php by the one from your xampp testsite!!

To play it safe:
Keep a backup of config.php from your online site at special place...

For SQL quieries on xampp, you will use the MOD instructions...
For SQL quieries online, you will do the same.
So...they can't have any influence from each other...

thank you

I keep two copies, one is a complete unmodified copy of my site and the other is the one I modify. If after update the site I find major errors I can simple upload the unmodified copy. As evolver said, (most important point) always keep a copy of you site config some where safe, its real easy to accidentally overwrite it (Ive done hundreds of time <img>

PS If you want to keep the database size small, you can dont really need the search word and dictionary/spell check tablesà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦ They are often very bigà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦

Is there a xampp version with apache 3?

we have a few problems with some of the IM scripts, and the server is running apache 3

[Michaelo]

Where did you get version 3? The trunk is only 2.4

[Okki]

SERVER_SIGNATURE Apache/1.3.33
SERVER_SOFTWARE Apache 3 - HOSTMerit

[Michaelo]

Ah that's 1.3.33. I can't find any older verions but it should be possible to install xampp and download apache 1.3 and replace the apcahe 2 by over writing it...

eAccelerator for php 5.1.1 found somewhere from a user in xampp forums. Now I can use mod_rewrite + speed of eAccelerator.

As soon 1.5.2 will be realease, I will remove the file from my server.

Quick stepts to install :

1 : download and put the file in phpext
2 : open apachebinphp.ini

Modify it to look like this :

Code:
extension=eAccelerator_511.dll
eaccelerator.shm_size = "0"
eaccelerator.cache_dir = "C:apachefriendsxampptmp"
eaccelerator.enable = "1"
eaccelerator.optimizer = "1"
;eaccelerator.debug = "0"
;eaccelerator.check_mtime = "1"
;eaccelerator.filter = ""
;eaccelerator.shm_max = "0"
;eaccelerator.shm_ttl = "0"
;eaccelerator.shm_prune_period = "0"
;eaccelerator.shm_only = "0"
eaccelerator.compress = "1"
eaccelerator.compress_level = "9"
eaccelerator.keys = "shm_and_disk"
eaccelerator.sessions = "shm_and_disk"
eaccelerator.content = "shm_and_disk"
;eaccelerator.admin.name =
;eaccelerator.admin.password =

It's hard to tell for me if this is the best config to get the fastest speed, but it works great.

[Michaelo]

Must have a look I love speed <img>

[Tumling]

I just installed this and i get this error on top of the forum

[code]Warning]

What is that about ?

[Michaelo]

Sorry Tumling, what you installed?

I think this is the preinstalled 140 forum in Fubies preconfigured Xampp
