Hi there
I have installed XAMPP 1.7.3 as this has the appropriate versions of MySQL and PHP that I need in order for my site to work on host versions.
I have literature on how to configure XAMPP 1.6.2, but obviously there are some differences so it doesnt help me.
I have however succesfully done a test for PHP which worked It was good to know I got it right. The resulting page showed blocks for MySQL and MySQLi, the book I have says that means that my development environment is good to go, is that right? It is an old book.
The book then goes on to say that I can configure PHP in the php.ini file, to switch off magic quotes, and to change the time zone, but I can not find php.ini. Is this necessary in 1.7.3?
To configure MySQL, the book says that I need to find mysql/bin/my.cnf in order to change the default location of the database, I can not find the my.cnf file. Is this necessary in 1.7.3?
Is there any literature available for configuring XAMPP 1.7.3? Or is XAMPP 1.7.3 ok as it is?
Out of pure curiosity, I opened the file XAMPP/htdocs/index.php It opened in Dreamweaver and said 'Something is wrong with the XAMPP installation ', is this a standard file for if there 'is' something wrong? Or do I need to worry about this now?
Kind regards
Newto
