PEQ Editor Installation Guide for Dummies*
=============================
*This guide is in no way, shape, or form related to, or endorsed by the writers of other 'Dummies' books, nor am I calling you a dummy for using it... The name just sounded amusing
=============================
This guide assumes you already have MySQL and EQEmu Installed on your system. If you do not, please do that first.
-Install Apache 2.2.3 with all the default options. Set your server ip address to "localhost" without the quotes obviously.
When the installation is complete:
Click Start -> All Programs -> Apache HTTP Server 2.2.3 -> Control Apache Server -> Stop
this will stop the server from running.
-Install PHP 4.4.4 with a standard installation. I suggest using the default path of "C:\PHP" for the install directory. When Prompted, select "Apache" from the list of platforms. Ignore the message telling you that you need to manually configure apache... we know that already
-Once PHP4.4.4 is installed, browse to c:\php and create 2 new folders.
Folder 1 should be named "upload"
Folder 2 should be named "session"
-Create a new folder on your C: drive called "www"
-Extract the contents of the PEQ Editor 1.0 zip file to the new folder ('www')
-Click Start -> All Programs -> Apache HTTP Server 2.2.3 -> Configure Apache Server -> Edit the Apache httpd.conf Configuration File
If prompted to choose a program to open it with, select Wordpad (or notepad, but wordpad is usually easier to use).
At the top add the following (you may copy and paste it if you are lazy like me )
Code:
#PHP 4.4.4 config
ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"
Now hit CTRL-F to open the find window and type in: ServerName
Make sure the line found looks like this:
Code:
ServerName localhost:80
If not, change it so it does.
Scroll down about 6 lines to where it says "DocumentRoot", make sure that line looks like this:
Code:
DocumentRoot "C:/www"
if not... fix it
Scroll down about 10 lines and you will see something to the extent of this, but not word for word...
Code:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
We want to replace it with the following:
Code:
<Directory />
Options All
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Just copy/paste that over top of the existing block... you need it to be exactly the same as what I wrote.
Scroll down about another 10 lines and you will find:
Code:
<Directory "C:/www">
#bunch of commented lines starting with #
Options (bunch of options)
#bunch more commented lines
and more junk here and so on
</Directory>
Just highlight everything from the <Directory "C:/www"> to the </Directory> making sure to highlight both of those lines as well and paste the following over top:
Code:
<Directory "C:/www">
Options All
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Doing that is somewhat redundant as far as apache is concerned, but in the event you ever mess around in .htaccess files or the config file later, you have less of a chance of screwing it up
-Now save the file and close wordpad.
-Browse to c:\php (where we installed php and made those 2 folders earlier)
-Open the file named "php.ini" using wordpad and hit CTRL-F to open the find window
Search for "session".
The highlighted line should say: session.save_path="C:\Documents and Settings\blahblahblah....\upload"
and the one above it should say something like: upload_tmp_dir="C:\Documents and Settings\blahblahblah....\session"
Anyone with 2 brain cells can see that someone at PHP pulled an oopsey when they set the default session folder to "upload" and vice versa. Although this won't actually make a difference in the performance of PHP/Apache it is somewhat amusing. Regardless, to keep things clean, we want to store our session data in the same folder as our php crap so change those 2 lines to:
Code:
upload_tmp_dir="c:/php/upload"
session.save_path="c:/php/session"
Now save the file, close wordpad.
Click Start -> All Programs -> Apache HTTP Server 2.2.3 -> Control Apache Server -> Start
This will restart the Apache Server
Click Start -> Run.
Type in "cmd" to open the command prompt window.
Type: cd\ (hit enter)
(any of you who actually typed (hit enter)... i really don't know how you made it this far lol)
you should now see: C:>
type: mysql -u root mysql -p
it will prompt you for your root password. this is whatever you set it as when you installed mysql.
once your password is accepted you will be in the mysql prompt, which looks like this: mysql>
Enter the following command
Code:
\. c:\www\sql\schema.sql
********************************
IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM AN OLD
VERSION YOU DO NOT NEED TO RUN
THE NEXT COMMAND!!!
********************************
Only for those who are doing a fresh install of PEQ Editor 1.0...
Enter the following command:
Code:
\. c:\www\sql\allspells.sql
Thats it ladies and gents. Open up Firefox or whatever web browser you use... and type the following address into your address bar:
Code:
localhost/index.php
The username and password should already be set for you. Just submit and have fun editing!
