Back to the Main Page

In this section we will practice the Apache web server installation, test and use it, the Java JDK (JVM) and then proceed to PHP installation on Windows XP Pro and Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition. The Apache will be used as a test web server for other application software that we will install and use later such as PHP parser. The Java Development Kit (JDK) will be used in many practice, exercise and tutorials later on such as compiling and running the Java programs. Furthermore, many other open source application software such as Eclipse PHP Development Tools (PDT) and NetBeans, the Java IDE will need the JDK to run even during the installations. These tutorials and how-to presented in a step-by-step approach with tons of screen snapshots to assist the learning as easy and fast as possible...
