Introduction WAMP Overview Acronym: Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP Local development environment for web applications Easy installation and configuration on Windows Windows Host operating system for WAMP Familiar environment for developers Apache Web server component Handles HTTP requests Serves web content to clients
MySQL Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) Stores and manages application data Supports SQL queries PHP Server-side scripting language Generates dynamic web content Interacts with MySQL databases Why Use WAMP? Ideal for PHP web development Local testing before deployment Comprehensive and user-friendly setup
Importance of VirtualHosts in local development Multiple Projects, One Server Allows hosting multiple projects on a single Apache server Each project can have its own domain name (e.g., dkscsproject1.local , dkscsproject2.local ) Custom Domain Names Simulates production environment by using custom domain names Easier to manage and remember than localhost with port numbers Isolated Environments Each VirtualHost operates independently Enables different configurations and settings for each project
Simplified URL Structure Cleaner and more professional-looking URLs (e.g., http://myproject.local ) Removes the need for subdirectories or port numbers in URLs Mimics Production Environment Closely replicates the structure of live servers Helps in testing and debugging in an environment similar to production Access Control Control access to different projects by configuring VirtualHost permissions Useful for restricting access to specific projects during development
What is a VirtualHost? What is VirtualHost? A method to host multiple websites/domains on a single server. Efficiently manage resources and configurations. Use Cases: Multiple sites on a single server Custom domain names for local development
Creating a VirtualHost - Step 1 Run the wamp server Make sure that wamp icon turns to green. Double click on Wamp icon. Click on Your virtualHosts. After that click on VirtualHost management You will able to see this window
Creating a VirtualHost - Step 2 Give virtualHost name (i.e local.dkscsproject.com) Copy public path location(i.e, C:\wamp64\www\gitlab\training) and paste here Click on here After that You will able to see this window
Creating a VirtualHost - Step 3 Right click the wamp icon Select Tools and click on Restart DNS
How to run virtual host Type given URL (i.e, local.dkscsproject.com) in browser. You will see this window You will able to see all the saved programs in your local folder. Click on URL your code will run on virtual host.
Deleting VirtualHost Open virtualHost management Click on Delete VirtualHost form
Select your serverName which you want to delete. Then click on Delete VirtualHost .
