Web.Developer Server Suite v2.00 Community Edition User GuideIf you can see this from http://localhost/docs/suite-guide/, it means that the installation of the Apache web server software on this system was successful. The Apache Manual has been included with this distribution. [Note that this Guide will assume that the Web.Developer Server Suite has been installed under drive 'C:'.]
Suite ComponentsCore
Web Applications
Server InformationBasic InformationBy default, Apache Server is bound to IP '0.0.0.0' [all available interfaces/IPs on the system], port 80 [http] and 443 [ssl], with DocumentRoot and Virtual Hosts accessible to the public. By default, MySQL Server is bound to IP '127.0.0.1' [loopback, also know as 'localhost'], port 3306 [mysql], and is only accessible via user 'root' from the local system.
URL 'http://localhost/' is the start of directory 'C:\www\vhosts\localhost'. Apache Configuration FilesApache HTTP Server configuration files are located under directory 'C:\www\Apache22\conf\'...
Apache LogsAccess log records all URL requests -- 'C:/www/Apache22/logs/access.log' Error log records all reportable errors -- 'C:/www/Apache22/logs/error.log' Status Information
PHP
All Virtual Host directories that fall under the path of "/www/vhosts/*/", have PHP enabled via Apache configuration file C:\www\Apache22\conf\extra\suite-php5.conf MySQL
MySQL has one user account enabled...
CGI
All Virtual Host directories that fall under the path of "/www/vhosts/*/cgi-bin/" have CGI enabled via Apache configuration file C:\www\Apache22\conf\extra\suite-cgi.conf. By default, all files under this directory will be treated as cgi scripts. Scripts will be executed by their 'shebang' line. The shebang line is the first line of the script, denoted by '#!' (without ''), and contains the path to the interpreter of that particular script. For a perl script this will be... #!C:/www/perl/bin/perl.exe
Virtual Hosts
The Apache configuration file 'C:\www\Apache22\conf\extra\suite-vhosts.conf' loads and configures the Suite's Virtual Hosts. There are 3 initial Virtual Hosts set up. The main Virtual Host 'localhost', and two example/template Virtual Hosts 'host1.tld' and 'host2.tld'.
Note that if you are running Virtual Hosts only locally [the domain names are fictitious / are not registered / do not resolve to an IP address], make sure to edit the Windows HOSTS file 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc' to resolve all given domain names and aliases to IP address 127.0.0.1... 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 host1.tld 127.0.0.1 www.host1.tld 127.0.0.1 host2.tld 127.0.0.1 www.host2.tld Web ApplicationsAll Web Applications are initially bound locally [127.0.0.1] and are not fully installed. Each application's installation script(s) have pre-set default values for our configuration/setup. In most cases, user must only input an e-mail address and select a user-name with a password.
* Note that while all other Web Applications can be installed from the above URLs, Drupal must be installed from http://localhost/drupal/install.php. URLsSome other urls...
