Taking Advantage of Open Source PHP MySQL Applications

One obvious solution is to approach a software development company and obtain a custom built product. However to take this approach one needs to first know what features and functionality is desired. Then on the other hand in some instances the need does not warrant the cost of commissioning a custom application. A plethora of free open source web applications exist today. Regardless of the specific circumstances of the need these applications can quite often prove to be a valuable resource. http://www.wampserver.com/en/ for the English version First it is important to note that most open source PHP + MySQL applications will not run correctly on the latest versions of PHP and MySQL. For this reason instead of the downloading the latest version of WAMP server click on "downloads" from the left menu and then click on "older versions at sourceforge" This will take you to -------Changing the web server port address Begin----- Click on the WAMP server icon and from the menu under "config files" select "httpd.conf". A long text file will open up in notepad. In this file scroll down to the line that reads "Port 80" and change this to read "Port 8080", Save the file and close notepad. Once again click on the wamp server icon and select restart all services. One more change needs to be made before we are done. In Windows Explorer find the location where WAMP server was installed which is by Default "C:Wamp". Next goto the subfolder named "www". Inside here you will see another subfolder named "phpmyadmin". We are looking for a file named "config.inc.php". In a default installation this file will be at "C:Wampwwwphpmyadminconfig.inc.php". Open this file in wordpad and find the line that reads $cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'localhost/phpmyadmin/'; Change this line to read: $cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/'; -------Changing the web server port address End---------- Now open a web browser and access http://localhost . Or if you changed the port address to 8080 then goto http://localhost:8080/ You should be greeted by the WAMP welcome page. For each application that you wish to install create a new folder inside the "www" subfolder of where WAMP was installed. Lets assume that WAMP was installed at "C:Wamp". Let say for example you wanted to install http://www.zapstrategy.com
