Setup phpmyadmin for managing your database (phpperl has it built in) phpmyadmin.net. After every change in config files of mysql, php, apache shutdown and restart all services.

Also you should double check security issues of each application. ensure all install and update scripts are removed after install, also remove sql files. and you should have htaccess disabled. you can do it by doing a ftp of a .htaccess file to root with a statement IndexIgnore * some examples are given in the same zip file.

You will need a ftp, use filezilla Filezilla and enable passive transfer, this will work with secure servers too. In mysql for testing root and blank password will work for testing but for server this is not safe. but use this for testing if you do not have phpmyadmin.

When editing templates and skins use irfanview for images, 1st page 2000 for templates and a topstyle style lite editor for css . In most applications - admin panel , enable gzip so that your regular sql backup is faster, use phpmyadmin to backup restore entire database. also enable gd for thumbnail creation for jpg and png in most panels.

You may have to set some folders, like image uploads, to 777 attribute using filezilla, so that your application can write into that folder, put an empty index.html or .htaccess to prevent data theft.

Give unique passwords to each application, database, ftp to enhance security. Use zip genius to unzip .tar and .gz archives set options-use subfolders info ZipGenius or 7zip.

All php files will run only thru http like http://localhost/test.php do not double click it it will not run like a exe. mysql, php, apache must be setup and started for these to work.

Linux <:--o--:> APACHE <:--o--:> MySQL <:--o--:> php

I think there are three ways of making web applications ie SUN one, Dotnet and Lamp of Sun, Microsoft and OpenSource or (free software) respectively .

Lamp Stands for Linux - OS, Apache - webServer, MySql - database server and PHP as cgi scripts. Ms has windows,iis,ms-sql,asp (in the same order) and more for dotnet. SUN one has Java,jdbc,jsp,ejb etc. and Oracle has its combination with java etc.

Now Lamp can be used very easily by many it is both free and powerful and good for most of present day web applications both intranet and internet. Many people use windows computer but their website may be hosted in a Lamp server. and some on broadband may want to make their computer a web server, for them Wamp is a solution W stands for windows xp or win98/95, 'amp' remain the same. X stands for Mac OS X.

To do all this some minimum capability is required, the ability to use a text editor and ftp client and webpage building and say some html-js at least to use some ready-made scripts that are done, no point reinventing the wheel they say, so we can start. If you are a c++ expert then you should try these things at once as Lamp is the future. i am not a programmer but i used to build electronic gadgets and some assembly language, but i learnt some on these things like visual basic, sql and c++ and tinker with them.

The PHP Resource Index Site with complete script, code snippets, documentation and other PHP related resources. see proxy2.de too.

Now you need a color syntax php - sql editor which is free, Context ConText use the options to make php sql default for context. mysql-php sites also have a helpfile chm format for SQL reference and PHP help. A good place to look for Lamp Applications is HotScripts.

If you are using windows and new to LAMP then use this single install phpperl this will install and configure apache, mysql and php for 6 websites in your pc. to find out what applications i have tested or tried see Lamp Apps.

In apache configuration you should add index.php, in php.ini you need to add gd config as this gives graphics capability to LAMP.

Also some LAMP applications will need you to enter absolute path in config.php, a script i found is included in this which will do this. Most applications will install with a install.php or setup.php all you need to know is database name and user and password.
