To install MySQL and PHP on Windows, you can follow these steps: Step 1: Install MySQL Download MySQL Installer: Go to the MySQL Community Downloads page. Download the MySQL Installer for Windows. Run the Installer: Launch the downloaded installer. Choose the "Developer Default" setup type to install MySQL Server and other tools. Follow the Installation Steps: Accept the license agreement. Choose the MySQL Server version you want to install. Configure the server (set the root password and other options). Complete the installation. Verify MySQL Installation: Open Command Prompt and type mysql -u root -p to log in to MySQL. Enter the root password you set during installation. Step 2: Install PHP Download PHP: Go to the PHP for Windows page. Download the latest Non-Thread Safe (NTS) version of PHP (the zip file). Extract PHP: Extract the downloaded zip file to a directory (e.g., C:\php). Configure PHP: Rename php.ini-development to php.ini. Open php.ini in a text editor and configure the necessary settings (like enabling extensions). Add PHP to the System Path: Right-click on "This PC" or "My Computer" and select "Properties." Click on "Advanced system settings" and then "Environment Variables." Find the "Path" variable in the "System variables" section and click "Edit." Add the path to your PHP directory (e.g., C:\php). Verify PHP Installation: Open Command Prompt and type php -v to check if PHP is installed correctly. Step 3: (Optional) Install a Web Server For PHP to run, you may want to install a web server like Apache or Nginx. Alternatively, you can use XAMPP or WAMP, which bundle Apache, MySQL, and PHP together for easier installation. Step 4: Test PHP with MySQL Create a simple PHP file (e.g., test.php) in your web server's root directory with the following content: <?php $conn = new mysqli('localhost', 'root', 'your_password', 'your_database'); if ($conn->connect_error) { die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error); } echo "Connected successfully"; ?> Access this file through your web browser to see if it connects to MySQL successfully. Conclusion Following these steps will help you set up MySQL and PHP on your Windows machine. If you encounter any issues, make sure to check the official documentation for MySQL and PHP for troubleshooting tips. View full article

Using DHCP Options 60, 66, and 67 Although Microsoft does not recommend this method, you can use the following DHCP options to direct PXE clients to an appropriate NBP to download: Option 60 = client identifier (set to the string PXEClient) Option 66 = boot server host name Option 67 = boot file name End result: I can get an IP address from the DHCP/WDS server, but nothing more. It is as if WDS does not respond. What information do you need to help diagnose this?

Hello, Friends! I have a problem on my Windows Server 2003 SP2 Domain Controller. My DHCP Client Service cannot started and giving error "Error 1079: The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process." I had tried many things and also gave permissions in regedit but nothing works. Any Idea Friends what is the problem. -- hammadmasood ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hammadmasood's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/90496.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-server-help/1190364.htm http://forums.techarena.in

Looking for any help here as I have been going crazy researching this issue and any help would be appreciated as my client has been down for almost a week. Here's the scenario: Windows Server 2003 SP2 Terminal Services in Application Mode Terminal Services Licensing Server on the same machine - activated and 100 Per User CALS installed The server has been working in TS App mode fine for 7 months now with no issues. Then last week, one by one every connected user was logged off to the point where the server will only accept one connection via RDP and all subsequent users are given the error: "The remote computer has ended the connection" immediately upon trying to connect. To the best of my knowledge no patches/services packs/ software have been installed on the server in a month prior to this issue. I suspected that the issue had to do with Licensing so I installed the TS License Server on another machine and completed the activation and CAL installs, pointed the Terminal Server to the new licensing server with no change. Next, I installed the Terminal Server role from Add/Remove Windows components, rebooted, and reinstalled and configured to point at the new Licensing Server with no change Finally, I reinstalled service pack 2, rebooted, and the problem is still identical - the first user can connect once the machine is rebooted and all subsequent users are given the error message above. I've removed the client machines as a factor since the same issue occurs when connecting from XP, Vista, Server 2003, as well as Server 2000. Short of rebuilding the entire server, which will take days including the software installation and config, I am out of ideas. Help style_emoticons//smile.gif

Hi! I have a problem with Windows XP SP3 (x86, swedish version) clients when you try to copy certain file types from a Windows Server 2008 x64 running TS role. If you create a new XPS file (with the XPS printer for example) and copy back it to the client over RDP it's file size will increase with a couple of kilobytes. Larger file = more data will be added. If you try to open it on the client it won't work. The same thing happens with .ai files (Adobe Illustrator) and I guess other less common file types also are affected Word, Excel, PDF, JPEG for example, are all fine. You can copy the same file from the client to the server and then open it without problem. Can this be related to TS Easy Print. I know it uses XPS format but I can't understand why it should affect .ai files. If you use Windows Vista on the client it works fine. The tested client have all updates public updates to .NET Framework and Windows. It doesn't matter if the client connects to the server from the same LAN or Internet. I've found one that appears to have the same problem: http://channel9.msdn.com/forums/Coffeehous...s-on-XP-clients Thanks in advance!

Running Windows Server 2008 Standard Service Pack 1 on a machine that does not support hibernation, I have a 2048GB hiberfil.sys (equal to the amount of memory) and I wish to remove it to save space. The article below states the step necessary to disable hibernation. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920730 Following these steps, this returns an error shown below: C:\Users\Administrator>powercfg.exe /hibernate off Hibernation failed with the following error: The request is not supported. The following items are preventing hibernation on this system. An internal system component has disabled hibernation. I have tried the following combinations and all fail in the same manner. C:\Users\Administrator>powercfg.exe /hibernate off C:\Users\Administrator>powercfg.exe -hibernate off C:\Users\Administrator>powercfg.exe -h off C:\Users\Administrator>powercfg.exe /h off I am using a command prompt as an administrator. If I were not an using an admin command prompt, it would return this error: You do not have permission to enable or disable the Hibernate feature. If I am using Windows Vista Ultimate, this file is easy to delete. I can use the Disk Cleanup option and it will automatically modify my power settings to disable this option and delete the file. I have the Desktop experience enabled as a feature and Disk Cleanup now appears, but this does not show the option to delete this file. I have seen some posts that refer to problems with the graphics drivers as a cause for problems with hibernation. This makes sense as you need to be able re-initialize the graphics card correctly when resuming from hibernate. I do currently have a graphics card that is reporting problems (Error Code 43). I hasn't caused me any problems in using my computer. I have the latest drivers for my graphics card (3/27/2009). I don't know if this issue is related, only a thoery. I still would like to diable hibernate regardless of my problem with my graphics card. Any ideas? Thanks, Jordan

Hi All, This has happened twice within the last week. 2003 x64 Server, with no known changes. Server appears to be running fine, then pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL causes a blank screen (gray) with a mouse pointer. The pointer moves but that's about it. Right clicking does nothing. CTRL-ALT-DEL does nothing. Caps lock and Num lock work fine. Otherwise the server seems to be working ok. I am not getting any complaints from users and I can RDP into it. The event viewer shows nothing of any help. Any idea what I can do to identify the cause of this problem? Thanks in advance, Ken

Hi There, I hope that I am posting to the right group; I seem to be having a problem with TS Licensing when it comes to the licensing service clearning out expired CAL tokens. I have a TS Licensing service activated with 700 per device CAL's. We do get a fair amount of churn in the desktop environment so this problem does occur occasionally. the only thing that gets logged is a TermServLicensing warning with event id 21 (below). Looking at the issued CAL tokens at this point will display a number that have expired. Restarting the TS Licensing service will clear out the expired CAL tokens, albeit not immediately. Has anybody else seen this happen? Any help would be gratefully recieved. Muzz. Event Type: Warning Event Source: TermServLicensing Event Category: None Event ID: 21 Date: 13/08/2009 Time: 11:09:00 User: N/A Computer: Description: The Terminal Server Licensing server has no permanent licenses for product 'Windows Server 2003 - Terminal Server Per Device CAL Token'. Use Terminal Server Licensing administrative tool to register more licenses. The Terminal Server 'termserver' was refused licenses of type 'Windows Server 2003 - Terminal Server Per Device CAL Token' due to this condition.

I'm new to Windows 2008 but would like to know whether it still has the same functionality of earlier versions. I assume that if I were to install two servers (2008 Standard) I could still make one a PDC and the ofther a PDC such that people would still be able to log in to the network if the PDC were 'offline' Is this also true of SBS.....if I were to have Small Business Server (2008 Standard) on the first server and Standard 2008 on the second?

I have a couple of folders that have so many files in them, they won't display them. I can add new files and delete files fine from my program. Or from the console I can copy them in or out of these folders. I assume there is some type of buffer problem but not sure. In folder there is about 250,000 files. In the archive folder there is way more than that. One question I have is, when I add or delete files from these folders, does it run any slower whether these folders have 1000 files or 200,000 files? Thanks, Tom

Hi All, I have a virtual server to which I connect to remotely using RDP. But for some reason I am unable to do so for a few days. a) I can ping the server from my workstation style_emoticons//cool.gif I can map a drive remotely c) I can connect to Services remotely But when I try to connect to Terminal Services service remotely - Dependancies Tab it throws up an error saying "Win32: Access is Denied". I have logged in using Domain Admin so not an issue with Admin rights. I have queried the service remotely and here is what it shows(below). Is there any way I can remotely re-start this service to get it to accept rdp connections again? I dont want to reboot the server as its functioning ok at the moment. Thanks for your help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SERVICE_NAME: TermService DISPLAY_NAME: Terminal Services TYPE : 20 WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS STATE : 4 RUNNING (NOT_STOPPABLE,NOT_PAUSABLE,IGNORES_SHUTDOWN) WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0) SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0) CHECKPOINT : 0x0 WAIT_HINT : 0x0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello All i have a 32bit client dll for RDP which work for WindowXP and Window Server2003 etc i mean on all 32 bit machine .But when i run it on Vista64 bit machine it fails. After some debug it shows me that Vista always run mstsc from system32 bit folder which is for 64 bit but it never pick mstsc from syswow64 even if i tried to run mstsc from syswow64 in my task manager it shows tat it only run system32 mstsc i know in this scenarioit's a compatibility issue but i want to know why i can't use my 32 bit RDP on a Vista64 machine or is there any workaround because i don't want to write multiple dll for Virtual channel communication and the biggest thing why microsoft has provided two folder with system32 and syswow64 when it only pick file from system32 and why such a poor nomenclature is use 32 for 64 bit and 64 for 32 bit. Thanks in advance

Hi there, Just wondering if anyone could help me with a problem we are experiencing. We have a server running with two NICs on two seperate subnets going out on two different VLANs. The firewall cannot route between the two firewalls and we are working to try and get the routing sorted. I have a subnet on each NIC and intermittently we are having outages on each subnet. I have a continuos ping running against each subnet and there seems to be brief 5-10second outages on alternate ranges. There doesnt seem to be any pattern between the issues. We have websites running on each of the subnets and obviously the sites go down when there is an issue. Anyone any ideas?

I have a file server that has a 250gb file share on it( not my choice or doing) I want to move it to another server and remove it from this dfs server. If I do it the normal way of adding it as a target folder and let it replicate it will take forever and during the process users may connect to the new server and not get the complete data. what is the best way to move the data without affecting the end users? I am running windows 2003 r2 sp2 64bit on both servers. Is there a way to replicate the data to the new dfs server while hiding it from the end users until it has completing replicated?

Hi, I have to use a combination of alternative username/password credentials and remote process creation and fetching its output on termination. So I can't use the moniker style GetObject as it doesn't support alternative username. Am using the following code, but it creates the process, gives me the PID but when I RDC to that remote machine, I don't see that PID in the task manager. What could be wrong? Please help me.

Hi there, I have a windows 2003 server with two network cards in running on two seperate subnets. These are running behind a firewall that (at present) doesnt route between the subnets. I have had to add the second card to the server in order to add the additional subnet as we needed to use more IP addresses. This server is in a data centre running a number of websites for our company. The server is running with the two subnets and by default all of the outgoing requests are going out on the new subnet. This is a bit of an issue as the server is part of a bigger network and there are a lot of routing rules in place. How do i get the requests to come from the server with the source IP address as the first subnet that was running on there? I have gone into the network connections > advanced > advanced settings and changed the order of the network cards so it uses the first network card/subnet but it still hasnt applied the changes. Why i go to an IP lookup website it still lists the new subnet as the source. Any ideas? Does the server need a reboot for the changes to apply?
