Setting up localhost – The fun way.
Posted on March 19th, 2010 No commentsAbout two days ago, I thought “Hmmm.. lets learn PHP”. Because PHP is a server-side language you have to upload pages to your server before you can test them, this process is annoying and uses a sh1tload of bandwidth if you are working with major code. Alternatively you can set up your localhost to run as a webserver and test the code from there. Sounds cool huh?
Well I had done it once, way-back-when and couldn’t remember all the commands etc. So I had a look on the internet, it was as dry as an 80-year old granny. Nothing. Nada, well nothing that helped me much anyway.
BUT, I did it. This morning, after not sleeping for 2 nights to get this up (yes, I am that dedicated/sad).
Now, there are programs out there which are a sort of one-click done type of thing, if you want that, google it. I only do things the fun way, by manual installation and learning the basics behind the subject.
First of all; lets talk about what software we are going to use:
Windows XP,
Apache 2.2.14 (the HTTP project one, none of their other software)
PHP5.3.1 (binaries not one-click install)
PHPMyAdmin 3.2.5 (english).
LINKS
Apache: http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#apache22 (Win32 Binary including OpenSSL)
PHP: http://windows.php.net/download/ (Thread safe x86 VC6 – look for it on the page)
phpMyAdmin: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/downloads.php (english vers.)
TUTORIAL!
Download all of the files to your desktop, we will start by doing the easiest first – Apache.
APACHE
This is the only one-click install package we will use, extract and open the .msi file, double click and open.
When you hit the Server Information box enter ‘localhost’, do the same for the Domain Network box and enter what ever e-mail you want in the Administrators E-mail box. “Leave the All Users, on Port 80, as a Service” check button checked. When it asks if you want to make a bin as well, say yes and continue.
Setup Type = “Typical” and spam next all the way through until the end.
The .msi file assumes that it installs to “C:\Program Files\Apache Group\” so that is where all the files are sitting nicely for you.
You will need to know how to Start/Stop/Restart your server won’t you?:
Go Start>All Programs>Apache HTTP Server 2.2>Control Apache Server then you have Stop, Start, and Restart> Choose restart.
PHP
Extract the binaries to “C:\php”
Inside the extracted folder find a file called “php.ini-recommended” and rename it to php.ini and put it in the “C:\WINDOWS\”
Find libmysql.dll and put it into “C:\WINDOWS\System 32″ <- this means PHP will load the MySQL module.
Right, thats done. Now for phpMyAdmin
PHPMYADMIN
Extract the files and put them into “C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\phpmyadmin”
STRING EDITING:
Open php.ini and find the words “extension=php_mysql.dll” and remove the ; from the front of it.
And that is phpMyAdmin done
.Now you should be able to load up LocalHost on a web browser and it should work.
Now: How do you get files/pages to display? Well, put any file into: “C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs” and they will display through LocalHost. Oh no! You need a MySQL database? That’s what phpMyAdmin is there for; you can use that to mess around with the MySQL databases.
So, there you go

Firewall administration
Posted on November 29th, 2009 No commentsOriginal post from: GeniusHackers.com
FirewallIn my previous two articles I showed you how to secure your LAN and WLAN. In that i had mentioned the firewall factor. In this article I am going to show you the uses of firewall and its administration. Firewall Administration is ensuring the proper management, configuration, and change management of it.It is comprised of controlling access to the platform, platform operating system builds, log reviews, time synchronization and backups.Hence firewall is very important in a network. Some of the advantages and uses of firewall are as follows.
- The main and the most important factor of firewall is your computer security. It gives a sence of a secure connection of your computer.
- The most inexpensive and security tool.
- You can monitor incoming and outgoing security alerts and the firewall company will record and track down an intrusion attempt depending on the severity.
- Some firewalls are also useful as they detect viruses and worms.
- All firewalls can be tested for effectiveness by using products that test for leaks or probe for open ports.
What is firewall administration ?
Personal firewall software is designed to prevent connections between the network and your computer, except for programs that the firewall software knows that they are not infected.
- Network Magic needs to make network connections to set up sharing and check for updates, your firewall software needs to allow these connections.
- Network Magic is permitted to make outbound communications.
- Inbound communication from other computers running Network Magic is permitted to get past the firewall to Network Magic.
- Outgoing communication: Most software firewalls have settings for specific program control.
As we say that any coin has two opposite sides firewall also consists of some of the disadvantages like:
- Firewalls cannot protect you from internal sabotage within a network or from allowing other users access to your PC.
- Firewalls cannot edit indecent material like pornography, violence, drugs and bad language. This would require you to adjust your browser security options or purchase special software to monitor your childcare’s Internet activity.

How to use 4GB RAM on 32-bit XP/Vista by enabling PAE
Posted on October 4th, 2009 3 commentsOriginal Article from http://etricks.in/2009/09/how-to-use-4gb-ram-on-32-bit-xpvista-by-enabling-pae.html
As advised in the comments below, this way seems to have been patched, I cannot confirm this as I haven’t tried it/don’t need to. 64-bit is out there. -Thomas
Recently one of my friend bought
2 GB RAM for his PC. He already had 2GB installed and he added more 2GB to his . But his XP showed only 2GBs. This is very common problem. By default Windows XP supports only 2GB of RAM on 32-bit systems.It is fact that 64-bit systems can support 4 GB of RAM .But very few people know that even 32-bit systems can support up to 4GB of RAM.This can be done by enabling the PAE(Physical Address Extension) on your PC.Now a days almost all processors support PAE.
RAM problemHow to enable PAE on XP:
To enable PAE in
Windows XP you have to edit the boot.ini file. Open boot.ini file. It will be there in your system drive. Suppose your OS is installed in C drive then go to run and type c:\boot.ini and hit enter.Add “/ PAE” at the end of the file.It would look something like this:
multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \ WINDOWS = “Microsoft
Windows XP Professional” / noexecute = OptIn / fastdetect / PAEDon’t change anything else in boot.ini or your PC will not boot.Just add / PAE at the end of the line.
Now restart your PC and check if your computer is showing 4 GB RAM. To do this right click on My computer and select properties.Click on general tab and see if it is showing 4GB or not. If it shows then it means that you have done everything correctly and you can use complete 4Gb of your RAM.
Enable PAE under Vista:
It is very easy to enable PAE under Vista. Open cmd and type
BCDEdit / set PAE forceenable
Now it should show 4GB of RAM in Vista.
Warning:Use PAE only if you really have 4GB of RAM or your PC may not work properly. Or if you have got some extra money I will recommend you to go for 64-bit system.

How To Install Leopard Onto Your PC in Just One Step!
Posted on August 12th, 2009 No commentsOriginal Article From http://tiny.cc/cwj6o
Here is a complete guide to install Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.1 (9B18) on your PC, in just one step that is as easy as it could possibly get. Just pop in the DVD and you are good to go, running Leopard in no time, with all the 300+ features at your fingertips.
I am writing this guide for a novice user, who doesn’t know much about the various commands This is a one step process that almost anybody in this world would be able to follow.
Here are the basic requirements for you to proceed with the installation of Leopard :
- A Blank DVD-R to burn the ISO.
- The ISO image to be downloaded from Mininova.
Before I tell you, how to install OSX I would like to tell you why this release by Uphuck and Eskurza is an important milestone in the OSX86 Project.
- This is the first ever Leopard DVD to come out with the amazing PC-EFI built in. If you are wondering what PC-EFI is all about, then let me tell you something about it :
With the EFI patch, the hackintosh can boot off VANILLA UNMODIFIED OS X kernel and use vanilla kexts, which gives a more clean room and great peace of mind for future system updates.
To Know more about PC-EFI visit the OSX86 Wiki
- iATKOS (as this release is called) supports a variety of Hardware configurations, and many popular Graphic Cards, Network Cards are supported.
Now lets proceed with the installation of Leopard. Before that here are few conditions your CPU must satisfy to use this installation method..
- Non Core Intel Processors, no PC-EFI for you.
- Core Based Processors, for PC-EFI to work.
- AMD processors are not supported at this time.
Ok now, lets proceed with the installation :
Step 1: Installing Leopard
- Download the Installation ISO from Mininova. You can find it by performing a search for iATKOS v1.0i (Its about 2.09 GB).
- Once you are done, with downloading burn the ISO at very slow speeds to the DVD.
- Pop in the DVD and boot into it from BIOS and follow the Onscreen Instructions.
- Select the Appropriate Packages, based on your hardware and then proceed.
- Installation might take about an hour or so, so grab yourself a cup of coffee while you install Leopard.
Step 2: That is all , my Friend
- Didn’t I say it was a one step installation process. Yes it really was.. Congratulations you’ve done it.
That’s it for now. If you have any questions, please drop in a comment, or ask your questions in the Uphuck Forums.
A big thanks to Uphuck and Eskurza for this amazing release. A lot of credit for all this hardwork goes to them. And ofcourse to Netkas for the development of PC-EFI. Cheers!
