PHP, MYSQL, APACHE etc on cd?
 

Do you know how i would go about getting PHP, apache, Mysql onto a cd? I know it can be done but cant really find anything on the net, my major projecy for IT is a php/sql script and i cant rely on the fact that when marking the teachers will have an internet connection, some guy managed to do that last year so it can be done...

i know easyPHP you set up and it has Mysql and Apache and you can view Sites on databases from that comp without having to go online

im trying to keep it as self contained as possible, its not guaranteed at all that the markers wil know anyhting about PHP and MySQL nd id rather not take the risk that they wont/cant set it u on the computer, since i cant be there when they mark it id like to get it down to as little as possible..

I bet this can be done with easyphp. Just install it, maybe change all the file paths to the main cd drive that they will use (there will be paths in httpd.conf, php.ini in my quick scan.. But there may be more. A quick scan in the uninstall file in easyphp tells me that everything that is needed is stored in the path to which you intalled the program, execpt 1 file, my.ini in C:\WINDOWS\my.ini.

But then again, it would be impossible if your using this with mysql because it needs a writeable db and that can't be done using a cd.

You could get an installer, and then auto run it from the cd (ask me for 1) and when they pop in the cd it asks them to install it. Then it can just transfer files to the right location on there computer.

Haven't tested anything I said soo I can't be sure... Just some ideas.

search netserver so far the best software and it just a click away to install

it comes with MySql,PHPMYADMIN,ftp hoster. email servers . also zend ! FREE!!
