Today one of home town’s job seekers come home directly seeking advice on LAMP development.He said , he tried with XAMPP on his Windows7 , but it refuses to start the web server the Apache.
The laptop he own is a decent one, brought to him by the Government of Tamilnadu for Students in College/Higher education.
I tried to uninsatll the exisiting XAMPP package and re-install the same.Still no luck. The problem is with Windows Socket server and it is not listening at port 80 and others.
Whenever I try to start the Apache, I received the message:
Syntax error on line ## of :path/to/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Listen setup failed .... alloc_listener: failed to get a socket
As the laptop comes with Dual-OS pre-installed with C-DAC ‘s version of Debian/Linux OS, the BOSS, I go for LAMP and not XAMPP and/or WAMP.
1) Get your root password : I don’t have the root privilege and need it now.
elcot@boss:~$ sudo -i root@boss[~]#passwd You can now choose the new password or passphrase. A valid password should be a mix of upper and lower case letters,digits, and other characters. You can use an 8 character long password with characters from at least 3 of these 4 classes, or a 7 character long password containing characters from all the classes. An upper case letter that begins the password and a digit that ends it do not count towards the number of character classes used. A passphrase should be of at least 3 words, 11 to 40 characters long, and contain enough different characters. Alternatively, if no one else can see your terminal now, you can pick this as your password: "Canvas$assure3victim". Enter new password: Re-type new password: passwd: password updated successfully root@boss[~]#
2) Install the Apache web server

Now say a Hello, to php!
root@boss[~]#php <?php echo "Hello \n"; ?> Hello root@boss[~]#
6) Configure Apache with PHP
Then I wrote some sample PHP scripts and try to load via the browser. OMG! The source PHP is delivered to client directly without getting phrased by the PHP Interpreter.
Find the httpd.conf located inside /etc/apache2/ and the following few lines to it.
<FilesMatch \.php$>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
Try to load it now! Works good…
7) Finally link PHP5-MySQL
Before leaving the spot, that LAMP is successfully installed and I just do a small task on reading contents from DB.
root@boss[elcot]#php /var/www/friends.php HiPHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /var/www/friends.php on line 7
Opps! PHP is not talking with MySQL. Here’s how to make them.
