Deploy and run projects on Windows using PHP and WAMP

With the continuous development of Internet technology, developing a website or application has become the norm in the software industry. As a developer, deployment and operation are inevitable steps in project development. This article will introduce how to use PHP and WAMP to deploy and run projects on Windows systems.

1. What is WAMP

WAMP is a web service software package suitable for Windows operating system, where W represents Windows operating system, A represents Apache server, M represents MySQL database, and P Represents PHP programming language. Its function is to integrate these four software to facilitate users' web development.

2. Download and install WAMP

Before you start using WAMP, you need to download and install WAMP first. The latest WAMP software package can be downloaded from WAMP's official website (https://www.wampserver.com/en/). After the download is complete, double-click the installer and follow the prompts to install.

3. Use WAMP to create a project

After installing WAMP, you can find the WAMP folder in the root directory of drive C. Copy the project folder that needs to be deployed to the www directory under the WAMP folder.

For example: Copy the project folder to be deployed to the C:wampwwwProj1 directory.

4. Configure WAMP

After the deployment is completed, WAMP needs to be configured so that it can run normally. Open the WAMP management panel, click the taskbar icon or enter localhost in the browser to enter the management panel. Click the Apache > httpd.conf menu item in the menu bar of the management panel to open the Apache main configuration file. Searches the file for DocumentRoot, a setting that specifies the web server's default document root directory. Modify it to:

DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/"

and change the Directory setting to:

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted

After modification, save the file and restart the Apache service.

5. Test the running project

After the WAMP configuration is completed, you can enter localhost/Proj1 in the browser to test the running project. If the project runs smoothly, WAMP has been successfully configured.

6. Publish the project

If you need to deploy the project to the cloud or other servers, you need to use the FTP tool to upload the project folder to the server. Use the FTP tool to compress the project folder in the www folder under WAMP into zip format, then log in to the cloud server or other server and upload the zip file to the corresponding website directory.

7. Summary

Through the above steps, we can use PHP and WAMP to deploy and run the project on Windows systems. WAMP has demonstrated its excellent integration and ease of use, greatly improved our development efficiency, and is suitable for the needs of most individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises.
