Apache is the most used server in the world. Originally designed for UNIX systems but the same also work on windows. To install it you have to first download Apache. Then open the file. A welcome screen opens. Triple-click the Next button (to accept the license and go read the readme). In the Network Domain box enter the IP address of your server (usually the local machine). In the Server Name, enter localhost. This will allow you to access your server by typing the name in your address bar of Internet Explorer. Then specify a contact email (you can put anything in this case).

You have to provide the user information and port number in order to configure Apache properly. I will recommend you to go through the Custom option and click Next. Then give the proper installation directory and run the setup. After that to check it working go to Internet Explorer or any browser type -----http://localhost------. If a page outlining apache appears, it's good. Then you can place your html files, zip, etc. ... in the htdocs folder. Directory apache2, which is located in the installation directory of Apache), or retry the installation.

It is not so tough to install MySQL on linux shell. You can use Putty as SSH client for that. Log in to your remote server. After successful authentication you should find yourself in front of a screen. Type apt-get install mysql-server and press the enter key. Then type Y then press the enter key to confirm the installation of MySQL. Press the enter key to confirm. Then, if you want after any removal of package mysql-server to keep your database (it's recommended) choose no, then press the enter key, otherwise your database will be deleted after an uninstall of mysql server. After that choose Yes if MySQL should start at server startup. Then press the enter key.

You can create a zone identification on your website using the. Htaccess and. Htpasswd. When you want to add or create a user, you need to know how to encrypt the password and to assign as a password in clear text in the file otherwise it will not work. Apache has a utility that allows you to encrypt your passwords encrypted. This utility is located in the bin directory of Apache. If you do not have this utility, you can download it from the internet and use that.

To configure the Htpasswd file click on Start, then Run and type cmd. Go to the directory where the program (using the command cd directory) to reach the desired directory. Then give the proper htpasswd command and hit enter. The program asks for your password. Type it once, press enter and then retype it (for confirmation). A message Adding password for user your_login appear if everything went well.

Syntax Sample :

• htpasswd [ -c ] [ -m | -d | -s | -p ] passwdfile username
• htpasswd -b [ -c ] [ -m | -d | -s | -p ] passwdfile username password
• htpasswd -n [ -m | -d | -s | -p ] username
• htpasswd -nb [ -m | -d | -s | -p ] username password
