==== XAMPP ====
=== Installation ===
  * Download from [[https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html]]
  * Install e.g. in c:\xampp72
=== Configuration ===
  * Apache > Config > httpd.conf
    * Listen -- remove port 80 (used by other apps), add other ports, e.g.
    * <code>
Listen 81
Listen 194
</code>
     * Enable appropriate LoadModules
     * Create VirtualHosts:
     * <code>
<VirtualHost *:194>
ServerName holebifilm-intra2015
DocumentRoot "c:/users/gielen/internet/holebifilm-intra2015"
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
<Directory "c:/users/gielen/internet/holebifilm-intra2015/">
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
</code>
    * Note: Apache 2.4 needs Require, i.o. Allow from all, see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html#access and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18392741/apache2-ah01630-client-denied-by-server-configuration
    * Enable following modules (for Apache 2.4)
      * LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so
      * LoadModule filter_module modules/mod_filter.so
    * Update DocumentRoot
  * MySQL
    * Set root password: Open the shell from the XAMPP control pane and execute the following command to set the password to 'secret'
    * <code>
mysqladmin.exe -u root password secret
</code>
    * add following line to my.ini under [mysqld] to ensure case sensitivity on Windows systems, see https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/identifier-case-sensitivity/ and https://karthicraghupathi.com/2013/06/14/force-mysql-to-be-case-sensitive-in-windows/ <code>lower_case_table_names=2</code> 
=== Debugging ===
  * Apache: check error.log. If that doesn't help, issue following commands in Command Prompt:
  * <code>cd \xampp72\apache\bin
httpd
</code>
