For Beginners Only: Running DOS commands

Further down on this page you will be asked to run some DOS commands. When asked to run a DOS command, do the following:

1. Go: Start > Run
2. Type 'cmd' and click 'OK'. A black DOS screen will open.
3. For each command, put your mouse over the commands on the web page to select, then use Ctrl+C to copy.
4. And finally, go back to the DOS window and with your mouse, right click on the black area of the screen to paste the copied commands.

Step 1: Copy Website Files

Run the following DOS commands:

mkdir "\"
"unzip.exe" ".zip" -d"\
mkdir ".shared\"
"unzip.exe" ".shared.zip" -d".shared\

Step 2: Install PHP

Run the following DOS commands:

mkdir "php\"
"unzip.exe" "php-5.2.7-Win32.zip" -d"php\
copy "php\php5ts.dll" %windir%\system32\ /Y
copy "php\php5apache2_2.dll" %windir%\system32\ /Y
copy "php\ext\php_gd2.dll" %windir%\system32\ /Y
copy "php\ext\php_mysql.dll" %windir%\system32\ /Y
copy "php\libmysql.dll" %windir%\system32\ /Y
copy "php\php.ini-recommended" %windir%\php.ini /Y

short_open_tag = On
extension=php_gd2.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll

Step 3: Setup Apache

1. Run the following DOS commands:

mkdir "apache\"
"unzip.exe" "Apache_2.2.3-Openssl_0.9.8d-Win32.zip" -d"apache\
NET STOP W3SVC
apache\bin\httpd -k uninstall
apache\bin\httpd -k install

If you get an error about msvcr71.dll put a copy of msvcr71.dll into c:\WINDOWS\system32\.

2. Run notepad apache\conf\httpd.conf
and manually add the text below to the bottom of the file that pops up:

LoadModule speling_module modules/mod_speling.so
CheckSpelling On
ServerSignature Off
LoadModule php5_module "php\php5apache2_2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
KeepAlive On
ServerAdmin webmaster@
ServerName :80

    BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
    SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI .(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary

<Directory "">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Include ".shared\.httpd.conf.include"
</Directory>

3. Save and close the file that popped up (including the changes you put at the bottom of it).
4. Check that Skype is off (interferes with www port).
5. Run apache\bin\httpd -k restart
to restart the Webserver.
6. If it complains of msvcr71.dll problem find a copy of msvcr71.dll and put it in C:\Windows\System32
7. Check that the 'World Wide Web Publishing' Service is set to Disabled in Services so that it doesnt interfere in future (Go: Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services).

To finish, go to and see if it looks how you would expect.
