Installing Apache, Mysql, PHP, and PECL on Windows A P P E N D I X A ■ ■ ■ Installing Apache, MySQL, PHP, and PECL on Windows Throughout the book, we outlined methods of improving different web servers and database configurations but stopped short of outlining a step-by-step guide to installing these tools. This appendix will act as a reference to help you install the main technologies shown here: • Apache 2.2 • MySQL 5.0 • PHP 5.0 • PECL Installing Apache As of this writing, Apache has released version 2.2.x of its free web server. Using the web site http://httpd.apache.org, click the “Download! from a mirror” link on the left-hand side, as shown in Figure A–1. 209 APPENDIX A ■ INSTALLING APACHE, MYSQL, PHP, AND PECL ON WINDOWS Figure A–1. Apache HTTP Server Project home page Select from one of the mirror sites shown in Figure A–2. Figure A–2. Apache Server Windows and Unix download links Windows users should download the Windows installer file, apache_2.2.x-win32-x86- no_ssl-r2.msi. Once the file has completely downloaded, open the installer. The initial window will be a security warning, and depending on your version of Windows, ignore it and click the Run button to get into the installation. The next window is the Apache setup window. For those of you that have a previous version of Apache installed, you might receive another pop-up asking you to remove the previous installation before you begin with the new one. If you do not want to upgrade, skip these steps dealing with Apache. For everyone else, click the Next button in the initial window, shown in Figure A–3. 210 APPENDIX A ■ INSTALLING APACHE, MYSQL, PHP, AND PECL ON WINDOWS Figure A–3. Apache Installation Welcome window Now select “I accept the terms in the license agreement,” and click Next in the window shown in Figure A–4. Once you reach the next window, click the Next button again. Figure A–4. Apache Server Terms and Conditions window 211 APPENDIX A ■ INSTALLING APACHE, MYSQL, PHP, AND PECL ON WINDOWS Soon we come to the window shown in Figure A–5. Here, we need to fill in all the fields. Since this will be a web server operating on our desktop, we can add in any network domain and server names into the “Network Domain” and “Server Name” fields respectively. I chose to enter “localhost” for both of those fields. For the “Administrator’s Email Address” field, enter your e-mail address, and click Next. Figure A–5. Apache Server Information Setup window Next we’re going to start installing the software, but we need to tell the Apache installation wizard where to install it. The window shown in Figure A–6 allows us to do just that. Click the Custom radio button, and then click Next. 212 APPENDIX A ■ INSTALLING APACHE, MYSQL, PHP, AND PECL ON WINDOWS Figure A–6. Apache Setup Type window In this screen, shown in Figure A–7, we click the Change button. Figure A–7. Apache Custom Setup window 213 APPENDIX A ■ INSTALLING APACHE, MYSQL, PHP, AND PECL ON WINDOWS For ease of use throughout this book, I recommend you change the location of the installation directory to C:\Apache; of course, if you wish to save Apache in an alternative location, that’s fine, too. For future reference, remember that C:\Apache will be referred to as APACHE_HOME from here on out. Click OK and then click Next (see Figure A–8). Figure A–8. Apache Change Current Destination window Finally you’re at the last window. Click Install and watch it go. That’s all there is to it. We have successfully installed a web server on our computer. 214 APPENDIX A ■ INSTALLING APACHE, MYSQL, PHP, AND PECL ON WINDOWS Post–Apache Installation If there were no errors during the installation of Apache, you should now see the Apache Monitor icon in your task bar, as shown in Figure A–9. Right-click it and click “Open Apache Monitor”. This is the tool that allows us to start and stop our web server. Figure A–9. Windows task icon for the Apache Monitor Let’s now make sure Apache is running on our computer. In order to do this, we need to call Apache from our web browser, so pull up your favorite web browser and type in the URL http://localhost. You should now see the Apache welcome home page, as shown in Figure A–10. If you have any issues and can’t see the page, look in the Apache error logs, located at APACHE_HOME/logs/error.log. Many times the problem can be found here and be easily taken care of by simply reading the errors saved to these files 215 APPENDIX A ■ INSTALLING APACHE, MYSQL, PHP, AND PECL ON WINDOWS Figure A–10. Apache Server welcome web page Installing MySQL Installing MySQL is also straightforward. Head to the web site www.mysql.com, and download the latest software by clicking the Downloads(GA) link on the top menu bar. Once you reach the screen shown in Figure A–11, click the “MySQL Server” link in the left-hand menu bar. Figure A–11. MySQL Downloads home page You should be taken further down the page and should now scroll down until you reach a portion of the page that looks like Figure A–12. 216 APPENDIX A ■ INSTALLING APACHE, MYSQL, PHP, AND PECL ON WINDOWS Figure A–12. Mysql Windows download links MySQL, like Apache, has given us the option to install the software in either Windows or Unix. Windows users should download the Windows installer, Windows ZIP/Setup.EXE (x86), and Unix users should download the appropriate installer for their Unix flavor by selecting “UNIX OS” from the drop-down menu. Once you select a package, you will be asked to log into your account. Click “No thanks, just take me to the downloads!” shown in Figure A–13, and a list of mirror links will be displayed. Select one of the mirror links, and start downloading. 217 APPENDIX A ■ INSTALLING APACHE, MYSQL, PHP, AND PECL ON WINDOWS Figure A–13. Mysql Download Installer login window As soon as the download has completed, open the .zip file and run the setup file to start installing MySQL. On the initial welcome window, simply click Next. In the Setup Type window, we’re presented with the option of setting up a typical installation or a custom installation. Click the Custom radio button, and then click Next. This will allow us to install MySQL in a directory of our choice. As soon as the Custom Setup window is displayed, click Change and type in your MYSQL_HOME directory. For simplicity we will install our MySQL files under the location C:\mysql. Going forward in subsequent chapters, we will refer to this path as MYSQL_HOME. Click OK and then click Next. Once you reach the “Ready to Install the Program” window (Figure A–14), click Install and watch MySQL install. If you are prompted with additional screens, click Next. 218 APPENDIX A ■ INSTALLING APACHE, MYSQL, PHP, AND PECL ON WINDOWS Figure A–14. MySQL Ready to Install window If there were no errors during the MySQL installation process, MySQL has been installed on our computer and a configuration window will pop up. Let’s go through the steps of configuring our instance of MySQL now. Configuring MySQL Configuring MySQL will only take a minute. On the initial first window, we click Next to start the configuration process (Figure A–15). 219 APPENDIX A ■ INSTALLING APACHE, MYSQL, PHP, AND PECL ON WINDOWS Figure A–15. MySQL Config Welcome window In the window shown in Figure A–16, we will click the “Standard Configuration” button to speed up the process of configuration and then click Next. Figure A–16. MySQL Config Type window 220 APPENDIX A ■ INSTALLING APACHE, MYSQL, PHP, AND PECL ON WINDOWS In the next screen, we need to accept the default setting, “Install as Windows Service,” which is already selected for us (shown in Figure A–17), and click Next. Figure A–17. MySQL Config Windows Options window In one of the last windows we need to go through before completing the MySQL configuration process, we set up a password for our setup. Enter a password for all two of the fields, leaving “Modify Security Settings” checked, and then click Next (Figure A–18). Figure A–18. MySQL Config Security Options window 221 APPENDIX A ■ INSTALLING APACHE, MYSQL, PHP, AND PECL ON WINDOWS Finally, click the Execute button, and watch the check marks come up. If the installation and configuration completed successfully, you will see a MySQL window with four check marks in the small bubbles, indicating there were no errors, as shown in Figure A–19. Congratulations—we’re done with the setup. Click Finish and relax. Figure A–19. MySQL Processing Config window Installing PHP The PHP installer can be downloaded at www.php.net. Again, like most of the downloads thus far, we have an option to download either a Unix installer or a Windows executable. In this case, if you are using a Windows environment, download the .zip file, not the Windows .exe installer. To find the .zip file, click the link for “Current PHP 5 Stable” on the right of the page under the Stable Releases header, and look for the .zip package under the Windows Binaries heading. Once you click that link, you will be presented with a list of mirrors to download from. Click the link for a mirror in your country to begin the download.

It provides a machine abstraction and hardware-agnostic instruction sets, where a high-level programming language can target the compilation to the Wasm instead of specific hardware architecture. The JavaScript engine implements the Wasm specification and recompiles the Wasm instruction to the target machine instruction where the program is executed. Technically, Wasm is similar to a popular virtual machine bytecode, such as Java Virtual Machine (JVM) or Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL).

  • ARM Code Development in Windows
    ARM Code Development in Windows By: Ali Nuhi This guide will describe how to develop code to be run on an embedded Linux system using an ARM processor (specifically the OMAP3530). Environment The Cygwin bash shell will be the environment used for code development. Download it from the below link. http://cygwin.com/install.html READ THE SITE. Download setup.exe and choose the packages you want to install. Some helpful packages to download are: -gcc4-core,g++ etc. (for c and c++ compiling of normal programs) -git core files and completion (version control system) -wget (utility to download files from the internet via HTTP and FTP) -VIM (text editor) -Xemacs (another text editor, better than vim) -nano (simple command line text editor) If you still use windows notepad for writing code please atleast upgrade to notepad++. Toolchain We will be compiling and creating files using CodeSourcery g++ lite toolchains. This is a modified version of GCC which will create files specifically for ARM target systems. Download this at: http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/release1803 Download the Windows installer and execute. You can let it install as is unless you have some other install scheme on your computer. I highly recommend reading the getting started pdf that comes with CodeSourcery. Once it’s fully installed open up Cygwin and execute the below lines. $ export CYGPATH=cygpath $ export CYGPATH=c:/cygwin/bin/cygpath If you installed Cygwin to another directory then you must edit the second line. To use the compiler type the following and hit tab twice to see all of the possible options you have.

  • Tigersharc DSP Hardware Specification, Revision 1.0.2, Direct Memory Access
    7 DIRECT MEMORY ACCESS Figure 7-0. Table 7-0. Listing 7-0. Overview Direct Memory Access (DMA) is a mechanism for transferring data with- out core being involved. The TigerSHARC® DSP’s on-chip DMA controller relieves the core processor of the burden of moving data between internal memory and an external device, external memory, or between link ports and internal or external memory. The fully-integrated DMA controller allows the TigerSHARC® DSP core processor, or an external device, to specify data transfer operations and return to normal processing while the DMA controller carries out the data transfers in the background. The TigerSHARC® DSP DMA competes with other masters for internal memory access. For more information, see “Architecture and Microarchi- tecture Overview” on page 6-7. This conflict is minimized due to the large internal memory bandwidth that is available. The DMA includes 14 DMA channels, four of which are dedicated to external memory devices, eight to link ports, and two to AutoDMA registers. TigerSHARC DSP Hardware Specification 7 - 1 Overview Figure 7-1 shows a block diagram of the TigerSHARC® DSP’s DMA controller. TRANSMITTER RECEIVER TCB TCB REGISTERS REGISTERS Internal DMA DMA CONTROLLER Bus Requests Interface Figure 7-1. DMA Block Diagram Data Transfers — General Information The DMA controller can perform several types of data transfers: • Internal memory ⇒ external memory and memory-mapped periph- erals • Internal memory ⇒ internal memory of other TigerSHARC® DSPs residing on the cluster bus • Internal memory ⇒ host processor • Internal memory ⇒ link port I/O • External memory ⇒ external peripherals 7 - 2 TigerSHARC DSP Hardware Specification Direct Memory Access • External memory ⇒ internal memory • External memory ⇒ link port I/O • Link port I/O ⇒ internal memory • Link port I/O ⇒ external memory • Cluster bus master via AutoDMA registers ⇒ internal memory Internal-to-internal memory transfers are not directly supported.

  • CS102: Introduction to Python the Goal of This Topic Is to Provide a Brief
    CS102: Introduction to Python The goal of this topic is to provide a brief introduction to Python to give you a feel for a language other than C. In many ways, Python is very different from C. It is generally considered to be a scripting language, although the distinction between scripting languages and other programming languages is not really clear-cut. Scripting languages tend to be interpreted rather than compiled; they tend not to require declarations of variables (the interpreter figures out types based on context); they tend to hide memory management from the programmer; they tend to support regular expressions; etc. In terms of usage, scripting languages tend to be useful for writing short programs quickly when you don't care too much about efficiency. Other languages that are typically considered to be scripting languages include Perl, Awk, and JavaScript. Python supports several styles of programming, including (but not limited to) procedural programming (like C and C++), object-oriented programming (like C++ and Java), and functional programming (like Lisp). Note that it is not a mistake to include C++ in two categories, just as it is not a mistake to include Python in all three of these categories. The first version of Python was released in the late 1980s. Python 2.0 was released in 2000, and various improvements have been made in the Python 2.x chain of releases since that time. Python 3.0 was released in 2008, and again, various improvements have been made in the Python 3.0 chain of releases. Unfortunately, the Python 3 interpreter is not backwards compatible with Python 2, and there seems to be debate as to which is the better version of Python to learn.
