Overview

FW40 Commander Software Users Guide©

Installation and Setup

Because the task of setting up and configuring a full-blown PHP5 and MySQL4 enabled Apache2™ HTTP server can be a daunting task, the installer will handle all of the complex configuration and setup tasks for you.

The installer will install and configure the following third party software packages onto the target system:

¾ Apache™ 2.2.3 ¾ MySQL™ 5.0.24a ¾ PHP 5.1.6 ¾ phpMyAdmin 2.9.0.1 ¾ FileZilla™ FTP Server 0.9.18 ¾ OpenSSL 0.9.8d

Please make sure that there are not any preexisting versions of any of the aforementioned third party packages.

Destination Folders

Main Folder

The target directory on the system is fixed at “C:\FW40Cmdr”. All installed software will be contained within this directory.

HTTP Document Root

The “Document Root” of the Apache™ HTTP server will be “C:\FW40Cmdr\www”.

Installation

3. Insert Installation CD into Target PC’s CD ROM drive. Once you select the “Install SW” option on the CD Menu, the installation process should start. In case it does not, then browse to the CD drive in “My Computer” and run “setup.exe” to begin the installation process.

4. Follow the “On Screen” instructions.

5. If there were no problems detected by the Compatibility Checker, you should see this dialog:

If there were any problems detected, then they will be listed in the Compatibility Checker log. You must take care to clear up the problems or else the installer will refuse to install the software. It gives you the chance to retry the compatibility check as many times as you need.
