How To Distribute A PHP And MySQL Web Site With DWebPro
Download and install DWebPro and then download and install one of our preconfigured PHP packages. You can chose between:
-
PHP 4.3.11
-
PHP 4.4.7
-
PHP 5.1.6
-
PHP 5.2.4
If you will use MySQL 4.1 (or above), you should use PHP 5.0
(or above). If you need to use PHP 4.4 and MySQL 4.1 (or above) you
have to add the following string to the CustomParams field in the MySQL section:
--old-passwords
We recommend you to install PHP as ISAPI as it is a faster and
more efficient interface than CGI, especially when PHP is executed
on CD/DVD. Once you have installed PHP you can change its settings
by editing the php.ini file in the deploy folder.
Download and install one of our preconfigured MySQL packages. You can chose between:
-
MySQL 4.0.23
-
MySQL 4.1.10
-
MySQL 5.0.15
Download and install our preconfigured phpMyAdmin V.2.6.1 package.
Place your Web application files in the C:\DWebPro\deploy\www folder.
Start DWebPro (it should bring you to the phpMyAdmin section).
Create a MySQL database you will use for your Web site.
Import the dump of your MySQL database. This procedure
can be done using any other MySQL client (for example, MySQL CC, DBTools, mysql.exe). When you connect to MySQL you MUST provide
the correct port on which MySQL is listening . As default behavior,
DWebPro starts any socket server on the first empty port. You can
get the correct MySQL port using the following PHP code:
<?php
print(dwebpro_getvar("DWEBPRO_MYSQL_PORT"));
?>
Open your Web scripts and edit the MySQL connection settings to fit the following values:
<?php
$host = "127.0.0.1:" . dwebpro_getvar("DWEBPRO_MYSQL_PORT");
$database = "the database you have just created";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
?>
Burn the C:\DWebPro\deploy folder
on a CD/DVD. You can place the contents of this folder in a subfolder
of the CD/DVD, in this case you should put in the root folder both the autorun.inf and the autorun.exe files and edit the autorun.inf to point to the dwebpro.exe file in the subfolder.
For instance, if you have placed the DWebPro files in the F:\website subfolder (where F: is the CD/DVD unit name), you have to edit the autorun.inf file as follows:
[autorun] icon=website\dwebpro.exe open=website\dwebpro.exe
If you want you can change the CD/DVD icon, change the icon
setting in the autorun.inf file. The autorun.exe can be renamed into whatever you want (i.e., StartMe.exe). This program is provided to help the end
user on starting DWebPro. It reads the autorun.inf directives and executes them, it is very useful when the end user
has disabled the Windows autorun feature. Now you should be able to
run you PHP/MySQL Web application with DWebPro. If you need to execute
write operations on the MySQL database you have to configure DWebPro
to copy the database files on the user file system. Read the MySQL
section of the manual to understand the different ways this can be
done. If in your configuration settings there are full paths like
the following:
<?php $root = "/urs/local/example.com/www/"; ?>
You should rewrite them using a code like the following that will work correctly on any system:
<?php $root = realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . "/../") . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR; ?>Here is a code excerpt that you should add to your web site config file to make PHP work correctly from CD/DVD:
<?php
/*
* This script contains some directives to make your PHP
* environment perfectly working on read only media like CD/DVD
*/
/* Session support */
ini_set('session.save_path', dwebpro_getvar('DWEBPRO_TEMP'));
/* MySQL support */
ini_set('mysql.default_port', dwebpro_getvar('DWEBPRO_MYSQL_PORT'));
ini_set('mysql.default_host', '127.0.0.1');
ini_set('mysql.default_user', 'root');
ini_set('mysql.default_password', '');
/* SMTP/Mail support */
ini_set('smtp_port', dwebpro_getvar('DWEBPRO_SMTPSERVER_PORT'));
ini_set('sendmail_from', 'support@dwebpro.com');
?>
