Important Components Owned in Xampp

Continuing the MySQL Database tutorial using Xampp. In this article, I will discuss some important terms that exist in Xampp. After previously I explained how to install xampp on your computer, this time I will explain some terms or initial guidelines after you install xampp.

Here's the explanation:

1. Good Xampp installed on drive C or D
By default at the time of installation Xampp will be directed to drive C. You can follow the instructions for xampp or you can change the installation to drive D or E. Then there is a question which one is installed on drive C or D? I think everything is good or everything is fine. but I often use drive D, with the excuse that data is not lost when the OS has to reinstall. If you install on Drive C, then when your OS has a problem, your data will be lost or you can back up it first.

2. What is Htdocs on Xampp
HTDOCS in Xampp is a web root or base folder on a web server. So if you want to create a website or application using a web server, then you can create a folder in htdocs, for example: You create a folder called "my application", then when you access the application on the web server with the address: http: // localhost / aplicasiku /
if you use a folder with another name please adjust it.
If you install Wamp, then the web root instead of htdocs will remain in the www folder

3. What is an Index file
The index file is a file that will be processed in a directory on a web server. For the example above, we have created a folder called "my application" in htdocs. If you put some video files, rar archives, word documents and so on. then you can see by accessing localhost / my application. However, if you add an index.html or index.php file, the first access will be the index file. Then if you have a hosting, my suggestion is that you provide an index file for each folder for security reasons so that the website is safe from hacking by irresponsible parties.

4. What is Apache?
When you install Xampp, by default Apache is installed on the Xampp application. Apache is a Web Server, xampp is open source, so everyone can use it for free. You can even edit the program code. The main function of Apache is to generate web pages. If you want to create a website and to review it you can test it on your local web server, through Apache's work.

5. Apache and MySQL ports
If you have installed Xampp but you cannot run Apache and MySQL. Usually this is because the port used by Apache or MySQL is already in use by another program. Although the port has usually been divided, there are times when it has been used by other applications that have been installed first. For Apache itself, it usually uses Port 80, 443. If it has been used by another application, for example the Skype application, then you can change it to Port 8080 and 444. While MySQL by default uses Port: 3306.

6. What is PHP?
Actually, in providing this Xampp tutorial, it will be related to the PHP tutorial that I gave on this JNM website. PHP is a programming language for creating websites or creating web-based applications. With PHP you can create dynamic web pages. Apart from supporting the Windows operating system, PHP can also be used on Mac OS, Linux, and other operating systems.

7. What is MySQL
MySQL is a software SQL database management system (database management system) or DBMS that is multithreaded, multi-user, with about 6 million installations worldwide. Almost all dynamic websites use MySQL databases. And the mysql database on the JNM website is very much an example and is widely used in making applications both Visual Basic 6.0, VB. NET and Applications with PHP
Those are some of the important terms or components in Xampp. Hopefully this is useful for you, if you have questions you can comment below, or if you will learn other databases, you can CLICK HERE.
