Comments:

comedicine: Great Video. Thanks for sharing. =)

CaRC1n0g3n: Your unobservant nature never ceases to amaze me... First you go off confusing TASes and legitimate Speedruns, now you call "Deustch" "Dutch". That's German, d00d. =\

jimmyrcom: I added an annotation for the Deustch. I can orally recognize it as german but I didn't have much time to pronounce it in my head. I just threw out the "e and the "s", otherwise I probably would have bastardized it as "douche". Also, Save states FTW =P. They're video games, sit on a joystick of you dare want to standardize them or say one is more legitimate. They're two diff styles.

jimmyrcom: elaborating further from quick explanation in the php tut.

bizzawizz: 5 Stars, another great tutorial.

Just a quick question regarding Shared Hosting and Dedicated Hosting. What is the difference between the two? I'm guessing dedicated is faster, but is it really worth paying like $100 more a month? Thanks for making this video Jimmy I'm going to set it up right now to use for testing instead of uploading to my web server every time I want to preview changes I have made :) Should save me some bandwidth too!

jimmyrcom: Dedicated is a computer just for you. You have full control over it. Shared means 1 server is shared with multiple people, CPU resources are much more limited and if some guy slows down the server everyone suffers.

lTherickl: Excellent video once again Jimmy :)

ddpxl: geat man ..
i used WAMP (for windows)
and MAMP (for mac)
to have mysql, apache, webserver..

but this xampp looks great ..

good work man !

jimmyrcom: I've worked with wamp before too. When I tried it though it didn't set itself to startup automatically and php scripts had to be started with "<?php" instead of "<?". Really minor stuff that's easy to fix but it can easily mess up beginners if I recommend it. wamp probably takes up a lot less space than xampp though. I wouldn't really switch if you already have wamp

ddpxl: u are totally right .. in MAMP you dont have this problem .. i usually do everything on a mac and MAMP is really easy .. but when i tried to to move the files on a WAMP server i had that &lt;?php error .. and i allmost got mad when i couldnt log into my database because he couldnt read my username and password out of my 4 line log.php .. :O .. really stupid bug .. <br/><br/>xampp is better :]

eXcon27: Whats the point of the download, what can i use it for ?

jimmyrcom: As it says in the title, it'll install apache, mysql, php, perl. If you don't know what a webserver is or what those programs do google or wikipedia them.

Kaiba85: Nice vid. I've been using it for ages but this is a good into to XAMPP, which I pronounce 'zamp', just incase you care, lol.

jimmyrcom: That's how I think of it too but if I'm wrong it would be annoying to find out after using it so many times in the vid.

Kaiba85: That's true. I still get a cringe when I think of the days when I didn't know a molex connector by name.

jimmyrcom: no, youtube is converting the audio a different way now, besides the obvious air spikes from having the mic too close sometimes.

wertyuioz: are you using the beta firefox?

wertyuioz: is it more customizable or less?, and do you know when they're going to come out with the full version?

jimmyrcom: lots of extensions don't work. It's javascript is way faster, uses less ram, a few new features. The release candidates are out so don't expect all that many changes, just minor bug fixes.

Graser10: nice video. I just found out about your videos a few days ago, and I really like your tutorials. I subscribed. :)

skate0721: I only use MySQL/Navicat for World Of Warcraft servers...pretty simple...

wowmizanin: Use this stuff for WoW private servers. :P

Shadow492k6: Still having minor problems with your addon and firefox 3.

Alt clicking opens translation in the "older box" and opens small useless boxers where the translation should be, I can translate multiple sections.

jimmyrcom: You're right. You have to click on the previous box to close it before making another one. For now I don't know how to fix.

DeathAnq3l: finaly thx u so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TehGames: Your making more videos? Awesome! I'll be waiting for your next one...and the one after it, and so on =)

ericsp0f: hay how do i do Port Forwarding so i can show it to my frinds? im on a Linksys Router

jimmyrcom: google your router model number along with port forward. It's different for each router but you can almost always find a tutorial with pics.

ericsp0f: ok thinks i get it now your the best

sniperraynor: I have a problem installing the apache service it says Port 80 is already in use...

jimmyrcom: Some other program is using that port, programs like skype sometimes reserve it. Start - run - cmd - and type: netstat -b
it should tell you if any prog is reserving port 80.

Valthecatlover: Why would someone want their own server as opposed to using a free host online with a subdomain or a purchased domain name?

jimmyrcom: Because you don't have to upload anything, you can develop stuff without being online, you can eat 100% of the CPU or write 5 million files without any restrictions.

Valthecatlover: nevermind - I just watched the rest of your video lawl

weirdspencer: Me and My friend have the same IP address. We have the same internet. Its wireless. Not satellite or DSL or anything like that. Will sending him my ip address let him view my website?

jimmyrcom: You could send him your network address since you're on the same network. eg. start - run - ipconfig and copy the IP address

GamerDuke: great tutorial, thanks.
What Firefox theme are you using in it?

jimmyrcom: none, that's what firefox 3 looks like when you remove most the buttons.

EvanVolm: "It's like buying a freakin' pizza". Quote of the year.

Shadow492k6: Thanks just making the problem know to you, its nothing big its just annoying some times.

I can confrim this isnt a proplem on the older firefox, As i have only updated to firefox 3 less than a week ago.

Well thanks for your time =]

Mushy2000: This is an awesome way if you want to host your own private servers for games like WOW Rose Online etc... you can modify the database to do anything you like.

1urbandevil: Thanks Jimmy! I hope the new house is working out for ya. Keep up the great work. Cheers Ant

jimmyrcom: nah the inspection revealed it had several expensive issues. I was able to get out of the contract due to several safety hazards I didn't know about. Gotta search for another one =/.

Shinigami37: 000webhost is a great free host that supports php and MySQL, and a bunch of other stuff. It also has this Fantastico auto-installer thing which will do 1-click installs of a few things like a wordpress blog or a phpBB forum. I've been using it for a while now, and it's great.

chrisboodhoo: yo search brown unforgivable! it is really funny.. please watch and comment!!

endnami: thanks for the last comments, in the end.
plus how safe is this for ur computer?

jimmyrcom: If you have no firewall people can potentially access what you can access by going to localhost. Stuff in your htdocs directory. Mysql is pretty safe unless you manually give remote access permissions to the main user and you don't have a password. Considering apache is on like 90 million servers it's pretty safe. Beware of installing 3rd party plugins though.

pyromi: lol i love how you said "dutch" instead of "German"

jimmyrcom: I felt lucky I didn't say douche, but I caught myself and lowered the damage.

RemobaInc: Check this out!

watch?v=EyJNBek01Rc

jimmyrcom: What the title says, turning the computer into a webserver.

CalmNmellow: YES, if your not afraid of (very) small changes. then go for it man.

jimmyrcom: Firefox has the most customization, opera usually uses the least ram but firefox is catching up

nochitasevilla: this works great and is so easy to install!

LulNoHomo: Does this make your computer to lagg alot?

onimoleb: Thanks for the advise, If this what I think it is I should be able to test out a few website ideas and how to build them.

PromBar: What are to hardcore ways to turn your computer into a server?

Sahagunense: I'd give free hosting, no ads to those who wanna train PHP on a remote server bt ftp. Leave a comment.

5Z4R: Its German not Dutch.
lol jk great vid, helped me A LOT!

jimmyrcom: I feel lucky I didn't say douche instead of dutch.

elgalas: damm ur so good teaching xD, keep it up

jimmyrcom: Run the installer and you have php / mysql and apache, if you don't know what those are wikipedia them. Nothing to be 'lost' about. If you don't need them don't install them =P.

tripoltreat: ok
am halping an al subscrib k

DeadlyFury16: I got an error saying XAMPP win32 not found what do I do?

jimmyrcom: At what stage? Installation, after installed? reboot? Whats the control panel say is running.

jimmyrcom: You can make programs and websites offline and test your code before you release =P + infinite CPU usage / bandwidth

sesstreets: This thing is good but I'd rather just use a lamp server.

Also google wamp its all in one as well.

jimmyrcom: It's the same thing except a few less features and by default &quot;&lt;?php&quot; is required instead of &quot;&lt;?&quot;. Also it didn't auto open on startup. Simple stuff to fix but beginners get stuck infinitely easily. I want them to get started correctly without having to touch the php.ini.

lucy357: damn, you have a sexy voice :)

raymercado: I wish you can make a video tutorial on how to render and upload sharp videos on youtube using sony vegas...or other methods.. please

jimmyrcom: I use virtualdub which is free and they look fine. Upload at 1024kbps, with h264 codec and mp3 audio 44100hz with 128kbps and it should look great regardless of the video editor. Making it 320 x 240 resolution and sharpening it can help.

i34tn00bz: Deutsch means German not Dutch. Pretty good video though.

jimmyrcom: I almost pronounced it douche, I felt relieved when I said dutch, the meaning wasn't part of my troubles. I added a note in youtube annotations but they just took the feature off.

masteredcradles: u may know languages but he knows computers and the internet. Ill give him a break

WorldOfH4x: This is a very useful tool, i did one on Wamp, there programs are very useful for coders, etc. Good Tut Jimmy.

WorldOfH4x: Should hit me up on messenger Jimmy

jimmyrcom: only use jabber now on the main jabber server. Too many crazy fix-my-computer people come out of the woodwork on msn.

HeadDominion: jimmy quick question - how did you manage to put a GIF image above your subscription button?

Shinigami37: He's a youtube partner, because he's awesome, and you can put a custom banner thingy when you're a partner.

Rutul2: Jimmy thanks thanks thanks very very very much for making this. I was searching on how to make a personel webserver. Man u really rock man. Thanks very very much . I cant believe for some reason how happy i am. Thanks man. A LOT!!!!!

CurdCat: wow i hope you gus know what you are talking about!

jimmyrcom: Of course, it's all free software.

jimmyrcom: I have a dualboot. This prog works on linux mac and windows. I've had a linux dedicated server longer than you've had a website. Thanks for the ignorance though.

invis648: From the sounds of your voice, I've been using and developing for Linux/*nix's for at LEAST 10+ more years than you. I've got over 15 years of experience. Oh, you've had a linux dedicated server? Wow, that certainly is an accomplishment since I've built and run giant server farms for large companies -- not to mention the fact that I owned my own ISP back in the late 90s. Your right, you're linux dedicated server is much better though. Thanks for the ignorance though.

jimmyrcom: You have crappy wordpress blog. I have several custom built sites and a few CMS systems. I don't care what assets you've made for large companies. I have linux too assburger. "MS server products are gay". Apache and mysql, php are not gay. If you mean other shit then your comment is irrelevant to this video. I will continue to make plenty of windows tutorials because *GASP* windows is still the most popular operating system. You're welcome to LINUX LINUX LINUX me on everyone, but its stupid.

bafflebreath: so is this a server for games lol like moparscape?

jimmyrcom: it's apache, mysql, php and perl preconfigured. If you don't know what those are then wikipedia a description.

Rutul2: How do u then setup a server? Like a server that you can access your music,and your personel files, also remote control from one pc on a local network to another using vnc?? Thats what I need help on.

jimmyrcom: You can use it for that, yes. It's not vnc though but you can easily transfer files with filezilla's ftp server.

nicoli492: 10 points for Firefox 3! Good video even if I may use the information since I don't do webpages. At least now I know enough to confuse other people even more when talking using computer jargon. Maybe it'll be useful to me one day and I'll know where to look it up.

jspoto: Thanks man. This guy is awsome. How come they don't have this guy on T.V.? Someone pay this man please.

forsalebypwner: They don't have him on TV because the people on TV know nothing about what they're talking about lol.

KombatKing999: Jimmy, why're you so damned awesome?

manoj0072006: one question what is it for what it does for me or any thing els>????

deathitself7: you taght me more than a symester of computer science in one day!

yomommaAho: this shit is gay, stupid and pointless

jimmyrcom: yomommaAho: Just because your so hopelessly dumb making it impossible for your to use or understand this, doesn't mean it's useless to other people.

jimmyrcom: Thank you for your opinion, random guy that subscribes to exclusively teenage boys. Unfortunately I'm not gay, sorry.

lolkid101: YOUR ONLINE ! OMG ! LOL ! ignore those freaks who know nothing about knowledge lol . como va tu espanol amigo ? :P

jimmyrcom: I have it decent enough written and spoken, studying french.

chopstiksrcool: Go to hell he's doing something nice for people who don't understand.

TooNArcade27: I have 287,344 viewers so far. Dont mean to brag but yeah people like to look at my vids

jimmyrcom: I have 12 million cumulative views, but what's it got to do with the video, please don't spam.

xxTheG00dGuyxx: ummmm.....whats the whole point to this shit?
lol wow what a geek

chopstiksrcool: Go to hell. This is guy is helping people who can't figure it out themselves. If you're too stupid to understand then don't post your anger here.

jimmyrcom: Read the title, if you still don't understand it's not really worth researching for you.

zooyorker911: you know if you have an apple computer you can just use textedit and then publish it and it will still work. i had school laptops for 7th grade

SithLordDarthDebide: I see the point of it but what is it exactly?

jimmyrcom: A webserver-apache, a database-mysql, and a programming language (JIT-compiler)-php. Preinstalled configured together and ready for your custom coding / modding

jimmyrcom: youtube high quality mode adds an audio gain that produces that clipping sound.

xzxGavinxzx: Sorry That Wa Off Topic It's Just you Have Great sound quality..i am jealous.

Tamatamato: Hiya Jimmy, I was wonderin if you could make a video about making A cameraphone into a webcam. I know, I know, I should just go buy one but meh. If you could that would be awesome if not oh well.

jimmyrcom: Sure, but you'll need some duct tape, a phone, a hammer, a broom a trashbag and a usb webcam.

Monsterb0x: Duetsch
English
Japanese

... german... that word means german jimmy.

jimmyrcom: I'm just happy I didn't say douche, which is how I was about to pronounce it. I know orally what it means but it's not a common enough word to take in as a symbol when scanning through the list.

PlasmicShadow: So Helpfull. Now I can put drum covers onto my iPod :D. Thanks.

fastfighter: Glad to see another one of your vids.

tuxsbro: wait, why not just install this with a single command, sudo aptitude install apache etc..

and lol, you said s q l

jimmyrcom: You have to configure Apache with php and mysql with apache, with this you don't have to configure anything.

jean4you: how do i move my mysql data to my mysql godaddy server online, i use linux shared hosting online?

jimmyrcom: google "mysqldump" for examples.

crysisen: can you make a tutorual how to make any add-ons work on firefox 3 .sry for my bad english

Compgenius999: I could do it if you want, i do it all the time to get my old add-ons to work anyway

crysisen: then please do it , thx for you help

ciarrella: this would have been great a few years ago. still cool tho!

TheAceManHimself: Another good PHP, mySQL, Apache all-in-one is installer/manager is WAMP

geekaleek: OK, NOVICE QUESTION...why do i want a webserver on my computer?

nameless12345: im wondering the same thing????

jimmyrcom: So you can develop applications without being online or having to upload to a server every time you want to test them.

meatpieand1337sauce: Possibly to, i dont know, rent it out?
Or whatever.

jimmyrcom: So you can develop applications without being online or having to upload to a server every time you want to test them.

towlierocks: and i thought i was good with computers
your too smart its freaky.

007soldier: All Ur Vids are interesting when I subscribed I have never been annoyed.

flashback1234: How much do you pay in total for your website?

UnrealGTAS: it says somewhere on his site.

educate9946: Nice to see new videos from you :D

UnrealGTAS: I use this program all the time. I can never get MySQL to work though.

Dalem50005: Lol, that's what I use for my website, and I've been using it for 2 years. It works fine, and I recommend it for all web developers.

Dalem50005: Lol, that's what I use for my website, and I've been using it for 2 years. It works fine, and I recommend it for all web developers.

4lm: I am the very juicy lady, who just wants to make your day brighter and may be a little happier, to give you the sunshine of my look and positive energy of my love..So cute girl awaiting you to share an unforgattable pleasure;) come visit me at ... PLAY-CAM(.COM) ... my user-id there is Gabriella-pnpp chat soon on cam :)

iLachva: it's been a while you didn't upload any videos for us. We miss you !

Compgenius999: When i activated MySQL it kept giving me an error and it added itself to startup!

Compgenius999: Access violation at address 10002593 in module 'LIBMYSQL.dll'. Read of address 00000000
and it keeps repeating that error every few seconds until I remove the service and shutdown the winMySQL admin tool

jimmyrcom: Never happened to me. Click the admin button in the xampp control panel and make sure the only thing that's in my.ini setup is
"
[WinMySQLAdmin]
Server=c:/xampp/mysql/bin/mysqld-nt.exe
"
Otherwise uninstall and try wamp

siralantaylorATlive: Lost me from 08:19!
Dam it!

jimmyrcom: what about it. It was just general security info. If you have nothing sensitive in your htdocs folder or in your database then there's no risk even if you don't know your settings.

siralantaylorATlive: another great vid, I'll keep watching this until i grasp it!

Your bloody GREAT!
Another 5 star!

esheridan1: You are a great tutor. Thanks Jimmy.

Meddlmoe: "deutsch" means "german" in german :-)

TheCompAssistant: Hey, when I load index.php it says that someting went wrong during installation. What do I do now?

ayyad13: Can someone please explain the benefits or use of this... what is this normally used for??

jimmyrcom: Getting started with making websites, programming php, using databases, quick development without upload, creating programs and web applications. Free

DeadlyFury16: when I install it it gives me error
when I run it

man20176: Jimmy, Thank you so much for the new video. I always learn new things from your vide. All I want to say that I love you and like to see you before I die.

kdmq: when i try to open MySql it says error #2003 acces denined PLEASE HELP! PLEASE HELP! PLEASE HELP! PLEASE HELP! PLEASE HELP! PLEASE HELP! PLEASE HELP!

jimmyrcom: did you install the service or click next a bunch of times during install, errors #2xxx always mean the service can't be reached. start - run - services.msc and make sure mysql is running.

jimmyrcom: I almost pronounced it as "douche" so saying dutch wasn't that bad. I know what the word means orally but it's not a word I see often enough to read it as a symbol.

BayviewFinch: Shhh. He might not give out advice again if you make fun of him. Anyway, you spelled it wrong, Dumbass.

desktoppirate: nice video, i was looking for something like this.

qbasicer: I used awardspace for a while, but they had really horrible services and uptime, so I pay $5 a month for A Small Orange, which has been awesome. PHP4/PHP5/RoR.

jimmyrcom: I think dreamhost is probably best for shared, but whatever works. A lot relies on the people your stuck sharing the server with.

xSloboxx: Yes you have to configure XAMPP. The security in PHP and setup mysql password.

xSloboxx: jimmyrcom since you are making a server tutorial. Make a tutorial on Joomla.

jimmyrcom: Maybe, it's popularity has been growing insanely fast. It doesn't really look too impressive but I guess all the integration with other apps makes it popular. Still, I see plugin joomla exploits almost every day on milw0rm.

xSloboxx: I's those plugins that are made by the community, joomla core and plugins, i don't think so.

jimmyrcom: Yes, most of them are plugins, but I was emphasizing that plugins make joomla so popular. Either way, I'm sure security issues pop up every now and then, unless it's had several security audits like phpBB.

knklt: JimmyR, great video! I want to learn all about this (LAMP) and which books do you recommend. You should know I know LITERALLY nothing yet, not even the most basic of basic information et cetera.
Thanks and keep up the good work!

~KNKLT.

jimmyrcom: The official php and official mysql websites provide tutorials. This video should be good enough to get you started knowing where to edit stuff.

jimmyrcom: mamatotola1: This is the reason I earn more and work less than you =P.

LTSprevails: are you a network systems admin?

jimmyrcom: I'm self employed. I've had a dedicated unmanaged linux server for like 5 years.

LTSprevails: really thats interesting. I am studying for my certs to get a system or network admin position for a long while. I think Ill be ready soon if I keep studying alot. I thought of going into self employment too, but havent had that kind of capital. I was thinking about computer repair. Ive had websites too but always with hosting companies where all I had to do was learn their site development software to build the site. I hope I can get paid well eventually.

LTSprevails: Ive had these servers before but I was a bit overwhelmed at that time with mastering all the security aspects involved. You know how it is. You practically have to be paranoid about all the possible things that can go wrong with unauthorized penetration. Actually, this is most interesting.. Im getting another desktop pc in the next few days and Ive already been thinking of turning it into a few types of servers, although I have not much use for it other than to learn more.

jimmyrcom: Security isn't a big issue unless you use a lot of 3rd party apps. If you have an 8 char + case sensitive password your should be fine, apache mysql and other apps have already been insanely looked through for possible issues.

LTSprevails: That definitely makes me feel better than all the horror story forums Ive read. lol. I hope one day, we or I can hear more about exactly what you do. Thanks.

jimmyrcom: I know, I can recognize the word as german orally but I didn't have much time to pronounce it in my head, it's not common enough to take as a symbol. I'm just glad I didn't read it as "douche".

taufiq1991: erm does it work for windows vista?

rubysp: Thank you very much for this tutorial! This cleared up alot of confusion for me.

aXFac: Hey, do you know how to use flash? if so, tutorial on flash would be awesome, html is dead...

jimmyrcom: flash isn't good for website. No crawler indexing and some people don't have the plugin. I'm good actionscript 2 but they came out with AS3 and now I'm just mediocre.

sokkerfoot: HEY WTF???!! ALL THE VIDEOS I KEEP ON CLICKING ON IT SAYS "We're sorry this video is no longer available"

jimmyrcom: They work for me. I have a megaupload mirror in "?d=BASOI8YA". Just add that to the end of the mail megaupload url.

rrsstx: don't take this the wrong way, you do an excellent job on your videos. I appreciate that you give great advice, i just thought that you sound tired. But oh well, I guess its better than hearing some annoying SXE Phil speedy, micromachine guys talk

Richard95125: what happens if you have a mac...

jimmyrcom: It's the same, just use the mac installer.

calenorumbero: holy crap thats some complicated stuff.

jimmyrcom: You run the installer, it has preconfigured the software, you use the software. It's pretty easy if you follow the tutorial.

sgtpepper1935: most people dont care about this stuff

jimmyrcom: > most people dont care about this stuff

24,000 views in 2 days with 208 favorites, 605 ratings, and 46 honors... because most people don't care about this stuff.

rrsstx: that sgtpepper guy got owned!! LOL

jeannegray21: hi jimmyrcom, this is amazing, my officemate have suggested this software, but im kinda confused about this maybe because im new in php/mysql. can u suggest some documentations or effective tutorials about this one aside from for-dummies? ;) thanks in advance! ;)

jimmyrcom: the official mysql and php websites have tutorials. I really recommend those.

basilbrushnz: Yeah I like XAMPP, I use to install apache, php, mysql and perl seperatly but for some reason windows xp service pack 2 broke everything leading me to try XAMPP. If you are a learning php/perl installing apache on your box is the best thing you can do.

oscarcc13: quart 80?
around 5:00-5:15
i want to send my website, but i use a laptop.
does it affect the server?
i mean, my laptop receives its internet access through an integrated router......

jimmyrcom: I meant to say firewall. Port forward incoming port 80 on any software or hardware firewalls.

think1speak2: lol it's not "dutch" it's "deutsch"- german

NikeVince: are you using firefox 3? if so can you give me link please

sumfortyone: Thanks mate. Not only do you make a good installation tutorial, but you make a dedicated section on your site about domains ect.

TheScottDog: I thought port 80 was for internet access? you say to forward that. Anyway i'm probably wrong :P

oleduck9: what is a server and what is that good for?

MentalSentinel: rofl, dutch english and japanese...

cybrax21: good tutorial but xampp and all that crap sucks ass

Get linux, make a tut on how to install there its not hard and way more secure

jimmyrcom: xampp is also for linux -_-... it's the same process

jimmyrcom: xampp is also for linux -_-... it's the same process

jimmyrcom: xampp is also for linux -_-... it's the same process

cybrax21: i know that but it sucks

i meant to do it manual apt-get, configuring conf files etc

but i guess i just hate windows and preconfigured stuff

jimmyrcom: preconfigured just means "working". why would you hate that? you can still configure it as much as you want after installation. This lets beginners get started with the tutorials without complications.

ginnannig: no in xampp, what does the x stand for. I'm not referring to folder you install it in. Durr.

dave00075ie: love ur videos Jimmy, good stuff!

slidewalker: Can you explain the FTP part? Is this free also? Is it related to configuring your own server? Or is it remotely based? A video on this would be helpful. Thanks Jimmy.

jimmyrcom: It's for remote filesharing. You have to open incoming port 21 then you can connect to your computer via an ftp client like filezilla.

sgtpepper1935: yes i hold by what i said most people dont care about this stuff

muthafukyou: poke some holes in that firewall and get ready to get reamed!

XXAscendancyXX: nice tutorial. I prefer wamp though.

cfootball10: So I don't need web hosting anymore?

cfootball10: But if its only Local hosting whats really the point. If you want to preview your HTML you can just use your notepad save it and then open it in your internet browser.

nightmyst999: Thanks for another awesome tutorial, jimmyr!

israelwasaness: hey jimmy ,make a tutorial about how to be a "matsuda" ,go ahead and include the comments listed here.

DDavies88: How do you bring up the parental directories for an individual website? i am trying to remove a video from it and have failed several times, i believe that this is because they are usiobg flash player... i have tried using "Orbit downloder" but that didn't help, please can you advise?

jimmyrcom: elaborate question, does not make sense

DDavies88: How do you bring up the parental directories for an individual website? or get the html code for it? i'm trying to remove a video from a website and i have been unsucessful and i was hoping that i could get the video through the parental directory of the site...

jimmyrcom: Are you talking about your website? You mean the parent directory as in the htdocs folder? You're trying to delete the video? You're not making much sense to me.

iratelow: Deutsch=German

Not Dutch... but good guess.

3Dcallum: How do you view the css code of the website?

Is it a programme?

Plz reply..

jimmyrcom: css is just a text style sheet. CLick view source, then find any .css files they may have embedded, or style tags.

cleanowl: JImmy i need help, i dont know your email so I will just ask through comment, i lost my winrar password, i bought interlore password recovery system but it is ridiculas, it is saying that it will take me 1356 years! do you know how to get lost winrar password, i need help

poote: One way for someone to be sure what .ini file their apache server php is using, you can write a simple php file with just phpinfo(). It will say which ini it using right at the top.

RainRipples: How do I portforward to 80 so it doesn't go to my router every time I type in my ip.

ronrar3: hey jimmy, im looking to start a torrent site. which web host should i use?

rolopki: You're the sh*t Jimmy! I check your site out everyday. Keep up the good work!

cjpost: what do you mean by the port forward to 80 thing? it wont let me onto my website with my ip without a password.

jimmyrcom: port forward incoming port 80 on wire router or software firewall. I can't tell you how to do it because it depends on what hub / firewall your using. Check your manual or google it.

downhill240: Thanks for all the study and work you do Jimmy!

someone92238: What program do you use to show the screen and not your face like a webcam?

GERMAN1RAY: you can use camstudio just google it ^_^ and download it

cheesylard: Dang, that sucks, I just read comcast's terms of service and it said I couldn't host a server. Oh well.

(I've already have been hosting a garry's mod server from my computer for quite some time without them noticing, however)

vb6wiz: cool video

ThaVoid: I really recommend Freehostia for a good free host, I'm pretty sure they support PHP too - and no ads.

chisengan777: wait so whats the point of this?

brentsmusic1014: the only way someone else could access your site is if they knew you ip address or if your site was on a web hosting site?

punxz18: hey man this is important. xampp is nice but i have a question. can others connect to my web (apache)even if my computer is turned off? or for xampp to be useful do i need my computer to be on forever?

LOLWutAnonymous: @punxz18

Servers need to be turned on to be accessed. If your machine is turned off, other people cannot connect to it. (There are some 'wake on lan' functions, but for simplicity, we'll leave them out.)

Some (most?) large corporations or businesses will have 'redundant' servers -- when one goes offline, the other kicks in to pick up the slack.

chexed: your computer would have to be on. all of the information would be on your hard drives which would get no power to be read if it were turned off, plus some other reasons...

he said it in the video too, "you would have to have your computer on all the time"

kevinmarwin: can somewone tell me how to convert from short to picture format??

xScrappiex: if you have a dynamic IP you can use a service like no-ip to update your domain every time your IP changes.

izwano: hey this this thing, can we set up our own webbie by using this server?

MrSUPERUSER: Hey Jimmy boy, your tutorials are cool, I've picked up bits and pieces here and there.
This bit's for you.
127.0.0.1 is a reserved address known as a loopback address, used by engineers to verify physical connectivity between your current local host and your current default gateway.
e.g. ping 127.0.0.1
Useful network self diagnostic option if you only have access to one computer on the network.

MrSUPERUSER: Does my server need to be on all the time???

Yes!!! If you need the 24 hour service.

It's a general rule of electronic devices, they only seem to work if they're plugged in and turned on.
Plugged in, powered up, logged on, secured, connected and configured correctly, with emergency backup power (UPS), and as LOLWutAnonymous mentions below, any serious network relies on redundant hardware that kicks in seamlessly in the event of a failure.
We can't have youtube go offline due to a faulty router

ThugLi7e: You are just great tutorial maker i ever seen, keep it up, and thanks for making em.

chevive7: Why do you use Win 95?? or is it 98?

ChIkEnAtEmYdOnUtS: lol, win 2K, Xp, and Vista can all look like that.

TorrenTom: Its XP with a windows classic theme.. right click your desktop and go to properties and then go to theme and it will be there.

datherax: This video helped me understand all the things I did to make my private WoW server back when I played. I used apache, and mySQL o create it. And I understand why I changed my serverlist to 127.0.0.1, Sorry was watching this and off went a spark of realization in my head. Also why I used 127.0.0.1 for my own habbo hotel server.

-Datherax

XpimpinjgX: Yeah but if you dont configure it youll get owned becuz the xampp pages are vieable by everyone xD

kailas684: Hi Jimmy, installation of apache is failing due to port 80 and 443 are busy (after running- xampp-portcheck - status is SYSTEM instead of free). Can you please help out to set up ports for apache service? Thanks in advance.

jimmyrcom: skype or some other prog is already using those ports. Find which program has binded to port 80 and close it

tanghola: jimmy:
Can you tell me how can i put some picture, music, or video in the server. please.
mike
pd: if somebudy have the answer please comment back

PureLogix: Just put the files that you want to share in your "htdocs" folder. As long as you have your virtual hosts set up right in windows and your ports are forwarded properly people should be about to access it just my entering your IP into their web browser.

By default apache serves the index.html.
If you want to make it easy for them to get your files then make a list of links to them on your index.html.

Thats pretty much it. Undoubtedly something will crop up along the way though. Such is life!

jokeranger: try to embed it to your html. .

TheDanishMaster1: doesnt work for me. but what the hell. nothing works for me :D

TedsVids: Can someone tell me how to get my ftp XAMPP server to show on my laptop.

(the server is on my desktop).

I wan't to go into it from my laptop. But I keep getting an error!

youzurnayme: I downloaded it and about a day later....my computer started acting up but Im sure it wasnt from xampp....anyways I did a system restore and this restore was before the day i installed xampp (i forgot about it when I set the date). So basically i think it removed the program kept the big xampp file so i deleted that....my question is if i try to download it again....are there any other things i need to delete before i do this? And will i run into any problems?

UltimateMods: Awesome, this is super convenient :D Thanks Jimmy!

frvfilms: dam I have no idea of whats going on, I have a lot of catching up to do!!




4:54 cant you also get it on
LAN connection status> support?? on win xp??

JonasJudah: Excellent!!
I noticed your going quickly through the video. Good idea!! I'm glad someone here
has the right approach.
Whenever we can get more of what you know the
better.
Keep up the work hombre.

blazmeznarsic: I found WAMP server a few weeks ago and its just as good. X)

joeemmal: so what exactly is all this for i donot understand?

Tyler11440: host a website without paying a host or agreeing to terms of use/service

johnny1237: "don't worry about the money, its only 9.99 a year, which you can buy a freakin' pizza." LMAO NICE lol

VISIT free2hoxt..com

VegasCS3: thanks a million... now I have a test server for my site... btw, is there anyway I could forward my domain name servers to my IP address and use it as a host... or is that a bad idea cause of the computer power needed...?

VegasCS3: scratch that original question... I hadn't whatched the whole vid and right after I commented I heard you talking about this... my new question is, how much computer power would it use... because I have a peace of shit computer running xp (I'm not calling xp shit, just the computer hardware) and I was thinking about turning it into a server.... how exactly does bandwidth work and again... exactly what would it require to pull off? if you could make a tut that would be AWESOME, thanks.

dzsuvi: what do you know about this? : "Access violation at address 1009F40 in module 'LIBMYSQL.dll'. Read of Address 00000000"

TrikkeSLC: Getting the same error here. Can't find the answer anywhere.

Buhhbuh: Hey Jimmy nice video!! Loved it... xDDD

FriendlyWords: ive done this before.. but lets make this clear if no one understood.
XAMPP Makes your computer a webb server(webb server is a space for internet files etc)
By puting the files in your webb server(you computer) it will be refreshed as a website on the webb.
NOW REMEMBER, SOME INTERNET COMPANIES DOESNT ALLOW YOU TO DO THAT(HOST YOUR DNS).

And it sucks.. couse i wanna host a website to :(.

md2k6: hey I'm using the Time function from php to get the current time and for some reason it's off by 8 mins from my actual system time. Do you know how to fix this?

Frebojo: Could you make a kindom of loathing-like game with this?

itsjareds: Thanks for telling me about how someone else can connect to my computer with my IP. I asked on Yahoo answers and people said it wasn't possible.

xxEstisxx: how do you put it on your webserver

codyrv013: you can use wamp2 too not just xammp

nystud162: DynDNS is awesome. If you have a half decent Router you should be able to use it as an update client. I've been using it for about 2 years now hosting a proxy webserver, RDP, and HottProxy

Greyh0und: deutch == German
dutch == "Language of the 'The Netherlands'"

stopthrm: Right he said Dutch I rofl-ed... German much?

CodenameGTA: router is pronounced: Root-er
not rowter

SRArepublican3: wow this guys voice is making my ears bleed!!

Nizero1980: if you use apache and filezilla you MUST configure your router...if you don´t...you got an ftp server only used in LAN...not reachable from the internet...

trimagna3: Very clear and understandable.
I have Oracle 10g. I can run it on Localhost but would like to run it from a web server.

disponohu: Hey jimmyr can you tell me , How or with what tools I Can Build a cPanel and WHM Please tell me .
The turoial is Very Nice very clear

phillycheesesteak324: hey its said on the installer that port 80 was in use so i cant use apache how do i free it up. (im on vista)

mohawk15: hi there what is the different between xampp and wampp

Elround4: Can XAMPP also run javascript?

warlord90210: JavaScript runs off your web browser.
You don't need extra services.

Java you do.
JavaScript != Java
Two different things

zeldaisthebest: lol was that the tetris song at the end?
nice tutorial.

headlisthorseman: hey jimmy, when i view my index.php file, i can't look at the code anymore! i see a replica of the homepage i created yesterday instead. how do i convert it back to code again, and what the heck happened?

headlisthorseman: also, i wrote some other files, so i could link from index.php to those files, and one of them, which only had some text on it, came out with the echoed text, only with black diamond shapes between the words. i rewrote the file and now it works fine. do you know what happened? anyone? bueller?

headlisthorseman: holy sh*** .

now, i can't read html tutorials, as well as other objects on other peoples pages. everything is translated to chinese characters!!!!

what in the world...

headlisthorseman: aight, figured it out

1. text encoding
2. ignore rich text
3. download firefox again (yeah, still don't know what happened there...but whatevs, works now)

gigahaker75: thx jimmy, its little complicated but i understand everything!!!
