ez php install

Hello,
just installed easyphp the second time on my vista laptop.
Objective: to duplicate an off-line website and to integrate a shopping cart before going live - will have to install cart software on server in www. ... .com/shop/.

So far I have managed to output hello world in php in a browser; apache listens on localhost:8080 and finds the file in my development area instead of easyphp/www/.

In both installs I could not connect with mysql. I used a php script from the web to get output in a browser to verify a connection and output.

In my first install (I could be wrong) error 5 came up, a problem with the federated plug-in as well.

Last mysql error log from second install:
100530 20:02:53 [Note] Plugin 'FEDERATED' is disabled.
100530 20:02:53 InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 44233
100530 20:02:53 [Note] Event Scheduler: Loaded 0 events
100530 20:02:53 [Note] C:\PROGRA~2\EasyPHP\MySql\bin\mysqld.exe: ready for connections.
Version: '5.1.45-community-log' socket: '' port: 3306 MySQL Community Server (GPL)

There are also numerous php errors and warnings in ../home/index.php:
--above the blue bar on top--
Warning: syntax error, unexpected '(' in ../easyphp.ini on line 14 in C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP\home\i18n.inc.php on line 4

ANY ideas, thanks samj

... the "5 min install" saga continues...

I reinstalled and moved EasyPhp from ProgramFiles/ to C:/EasyPhp/ which eliminated most of my above mention err messages;( --> a new day, different problem.)
When I type [......] in my browser, it displays the correct output. This file resides in C:/users/sam/Desktop/clients, NOT C:/EasyPhp/www/.
[I managed to redirect the document folder for apache from ...../www/ to C:/users/sam/Desktop/clients/ , and I changed the port to 8080]
When I enter [localhost] in the address bar, I get a 403 error, which deals with file access permissions denied. [The given path was above the root path: Cannot map GET /C:/EasyPHP/phpmyadmin/setup/config.php HTTP/1.1 to file"]

some clarification please: As far as I understand, there are 3 apps (Apache, MySql and the Php module in Apache as a scripting language add-on) + myphpadministration, a fourth app.
Does each app. require/have it's own UN,PW, and Admin email?
Does Each app. have it's own file permission settings (r-w-x)?
What are and where are the config files that need to be changed for UN,PW,Admin email and for the file path redirects/changes for all apps.? (I do not seem to find htaccess and php.ini, however there are several config.php/ini files in different folders. To my limited understanding, I can change the .php files either with myphpadministration or directly in the file itself with an editor. These .php files then change the .ini files; but I can also edit the ini files directly?)
I am not quite clear on this issue as one can see...

thanks for your help, samj



Summary of SHOULD NOT's: Should not have installed in Program Files -- above error messages mostly disappeared. (I also tried meddling with Win file permissions, but they did not seem to stick/work/change anything.)

something got messed up in my previous message - post didn't like my url

Should read:
When I type **tp://local*ost:8080/hello.ph* in my browser, it displays the correct output. This file resides in C:/users/sam/Desktop/clients, NOT C:/EasyPhp/www/.
[I managed to redirect the document folder for apache from ...../www/ to C:/users/sam/Desktop/clients/ , and I changed the port to 8080]

When I enter **tp://local*ost:8080/C:/EasyPhp/dir/dir/somefile.php in the address bar, I get a 403 error, which deals with file access permissions denied. [The given path was above the root path: Cannot map GET /C:/EasyPHP/phpmyadmin/setup/config.php HTTP/1.1 to file"]

Hey Buddy,

It is much easier if you just download the XAMPP package. Try this one below http : // www . apachefriends. org / en / xampp .html.
