Developing PHP with Netbeans IDE 6.5 PHP pack


This tutorial will enable you to setup a PHP Development Environment using Netbeans IDE 6.5 PHP pack (Early Access for PHP) under Windows XP. First, we need to download the tools that we need. Next, we need to have a server configured to run with PhP and database support. The easiest way would be to use a pre-configured package that uses Apache as a server, MySQL and PHP, one reliable distribution that I’m frequently using is the XAMPP packaged which can be dowloaded here. We also need the JAVA Developer KIT (JDK) freely available from Sun Microsystems, and the Netbeans Early Access for PHP. For debugging purposes we need to have the Xdebug extensions for PHP download the client and the modules that corresponds with your PHP version.

To configure our environment run the XAMPP setup, select an arbitrary directory which is more convenient for you, mine is configured to run under F:\Development\xampp\, after installing XAMPP check if it’s running start the XAMPP Control panel and check the services status Apache and MySQL should have a running Status. If not troubleshoot your setup usually you have a conflicting services that uses port:80, i.e IIS server if it happens either stop IIS or change the port used by Apache under your Apache\conf\httpd.conf look for the entry ServerName localhost:80 change the port number for it to work then start Apache. If everything else is alright the server is accessible by typing http://localhost or [http://localhost:portnumber] in your browser. Proceed configuring Apache Security this is self explanatory.

Tunnelier SSH2 Port Forwarding Client


If you are using SSH to control your server one of the best software to use is Tunnelier. Tunnelier is a friendly and flexible SSH client for Windows which includes state of the art terminal emulation, graphical as well as command-line SFTP support, an FTP-to-SFTP bridge, powerful tunneling features including dynamic port forwarding through integrated proxy, and also remote administration for our SSH server.

* Port forwarding settings can be saved to and loaded from a profile. One can maintain multiple complex tunneling configurations without having to manually enter parameters before each session.
* Tunnelier minimizes its presence by displaying only a system tray icon when running in the background. If an error is encountered while the program is minimized, the icon reflects that.
* Command-line parameters are supported. Using command-line automation, a port forwarding session can be started from a link in the Startup menu without requiring any user interaction whatsoever.

Microsoft Web Application Installer


Microsoft have came up with a new product idea and this time its geared on supporting Open Source running on IIS server. A user will only need to click the installer and voila IIS is configured running most of the popular Open Source application softwares including Graffiti, DotNetNuke, WordPress, Drupal, OSCommerce. These PHP based applications are commonly found running in Linux platform with Apache, and MySQL combinations. This web installer simplify the trivial task of configuring IIS with PHP support using fastcgi, it is now documented that fastcgi configuration running on IIS server is almost the same as the server running on Apache performance wise.

The usual difficulty in configuring IIS with MySQL and PHP are the nature of configuring these individual applications before you can successfuly run perfect a web server script mapping is sometimes a pain in the neck. Coupled it with Domain Controller, and DNS server installation and configuration for your server to be integrated with your active directory but that’s another story.

Supported Operating Systems are:

Windows Vista RTM

Windows Vista SP1

Windows Server 2008

Using MySQL in Windows Server 2003


MySQL has become one of the most popular database management systems in the world. From small development projects to some of the best-known and most prestigious sites on the Web, MySQL has proven itself to be a solid, reliable, fast and trusted solution to all sorts of data storage needs.

If you are interested in using MySQL in your Windows Server whether for your development or a rock solid production system . MySQL is easy to setup and use and are fully supported in Windows as much as Linux. The usual setup LAMP which stand for Linux Apache MySQL and PHP no longer holds because you can also use MySQL in Windows IIS running with PHP. MySQL is currently available in Community and Enterprise Edition version 5.0.67.

Windows Server 2003: Not enough server storage is available to process this command.


I recently encountered this error while updating my Windows Server 2003 to service pack 3. My box use to work normally while I’m using service pack 2, after some research the probable cause might be the antivirus software i’m using.

This error is documented in Microsoft website as kb177078.

The resolution from the said error are the following:

To resolve this behavior, increase the IRPStackSize value in the registry:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type regedit, and then click OK.
3. Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet
\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
4. In the right pane, double-click the IRPStackSize value.

NOTE: If the IRPStackSize value does not already exist, use the following procedure to create it:
a. In the Parameters folder of the registry, right-click the right pane.
b. Point to New, and then click DWord Value.
c. Type IRPStackSize.

IMPORTANT: Type “IRPStackSize” exactly as it is displayed because the value name is case-sensitive.
5. Change the Base to decimal.
6. In the Value Data box, type a value that is larger than the value that is listed.

If you created the IRPStackSize value using the procedure described in step 4, the default value is 15. It is recommended that you increase the value by 3. Therefore, if the previous value was 11, type 14, and then click OK.

Installing Microsoft Virtual PC 2007


Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 is a powerful software solution that allows you to run multiple operating systems simultaneously through virtualization on one computer system. Using the system will provide you a safety net to maintain compatibility with legacy applications while you migrate to a new operating system. The list below are the requirements for running the Virtual PC 2007.

Physical Computer and Host Operating System Requirements

Following are the minimum system requirements for the physical computer and the host operating system:

* An x86-based or an x64-based computer with a 400 MHz or faster (1 GHz recommended) processor with L2 cache. Virtual PC supports the use of AMD Athlon/Duron, Intel Celeron, Intel Pentium II, Intel Pentium III, Intel Pentium 4, Intel Core Duo, and Intel Core2 Duo processors. You can run Virtual PC on a multi-processor computer, but it utilizes one processor only.
* CD-ROM or DVD drive
* Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher resolution monitor recommended
* Keyboard and Microsoft mouse or compatible pointing device
* Host operating system: Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition, Windows Server 2003 Standard x64 Edition, Windows XP Professional, or Windows XP Tablet PC Edition

Downgrading HP Pavilion DV6000 Series Running on Vista to Microsoft XP


I recently downgraded an HP Pavilion DV6220TX running on Windows Vista to Microsoft Windows XP. I just thought it would go smoothly but to my dismayed the usual 1 to 3 hour work of installing an operating system and putting an applications turn out to be a one day work. The reason for me downgrading it to Microsoft Windows XP is the usual slow application response from Vista. HP Pavilion DV6220TX actually came with Windows Vista Home Edition pre-installed. But if you would compare it to another box with the same specification running on Microsoft XP the computer actually fly rather than drag. Anyways the trouble of downgrading it will paid off in the long run since more application are running smoothly and comfortably in this box. The drivers support for Windows XP from these line of models from HP are actually minimal. Probably putting all the effort for drivers support in Vista after all Microsoft will slowly phase out XP I hope not. In my view HP should at least provide support for the other Operating Systems for backward compatibility after all these lines of computer performs better in other operating system other than default.
