Hi guys
I think i got to the point to the end of this tutorials. Now how do i edit file on local server ? how do i upload or down load file on local server ?

Thanks

the same as you would any other files in your windows system, but if you are going to edit php, html and css i suggest using notepad++ instead of the default windows notepad, or what ever OS you are using!

Thanks cisco, I found all the file server in local drive C now but what about if a mod require a change on MySQL how do you add it on MySQL ?
for example like this :

Code: Select all

ALTER TABLE phpbb_forums ADD forum_bg VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL;

Thanks

I do it all the time on WP and PHPBB...but a lot of times I go live with a good backup of everything (except this one file today...)..which was probably a boo boo from weeks ago but never showed up til' today...That sucks.

the most i hated being installed phpbb on xampp
is when opened admin cp
because
it loadings to phpbb update connection

[Steve]

Thats because your not connected to the internet whilst testing.

yeah
it should utrn of the function of checking
i now install apache, php, mysql independently
rather than using xampp

w7 you just need to make sure you have the security property filled out right with the right settings. thats how i did and it worked. uac should never be turned off.

windows its hard to cmod but it can be done if you know the ways of doing it. just understand its not like on unix or linux systems style.

its either full write or not.
