Custom Portable Uniform Server 5.5

[Aryos]

I have finished "hacking" version 5.5 "Nano", because I found it too complicated for my needs (I like to keep a separate and portable Uniform version with every website or application I develop plus I needed some extra tools inside) and thought I should share this.

 

You can download the custom version from here:

What this version includes:

- Apache 2.2.14

- PHP 5.2.12 configured with all the PHP plug-ins loaded by Uniserv 5.5 plus the Ioncube Loader extension and sqlite-based session management

- PHPMyAdmin 3.2.4.0

- msmtp

 

CHANGES:

- Old style (version 3.5 "Apollo") Control Panel

- No Control Tray. There is just a "Server_Start.bat" and a "Stop.bat", which start and stop all the required services (Apache-PHP, mysql).

- In the "plugins\Services" directory I have added the plugin from version 3.5, to permanently install the services locally, but it's not yet tested.

- Like in version 3.5, Uniserv will create a virtual drive (default drive-letter "W:/"), for more convenience in working with scripts which require absolute server paths, being able at the same time to copy Uniserv on any medium and continue working from there.

 

BUGS:

Under Vista and 7, it seems that Apache will crash the 1st time you will try to start PHPMyAdmin, but after re-starting the server it will work ok.

 

This version has been based on back-porting the version 5.5 services (Apache-PHP, mysql) and tools (PHPMyAdmin etc) to the file-structure of version 3.5 and not vice versa.
