Some Software

[Ed]

ok, well most of this is software i use, but also may be Some things you use...

Ok well my software lsit isnt going to be that big as my HDD is only 6gigs.....

1. Trillian- Chat program, Allows you to talk to your buddies on Yahoo, Msn, Aim, IRC, and ICQ Simaltaniously.... Great program.. Now there is two versions. There is Pro, and basic. Pro of course being the paid version, but the only things better is a few more features, and some great skins.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. PHPdev5 Beta- Personal Web server. Preconfigured for windows. Includes pre-configured latest versions of Apache, PHP, MySQL, and PHPmyAdmin... Great thing to have to sue for testing your php and MySQL scripts. If you do skins for invision, phpbb, ikon, etc, etc. your computer can host a test board. Publically and privatly...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Smart FTP- FTp client that is free for personal use, Great program to ahve for all of us. Web developers, and Semi-Web developers (Such as my Self). Connects to muliple ftp accounts and is able to transfer files and folders alike from account to account. Also like trillian has two versions. Free, and Commercial. Great program to have though.

4. Arisoft PHP Editor- Great tool to have for modifying php files, html files, etc, etc.... Has a find and replace fuction, numbered lines for easier support here on NBS. So if we ask you whats on line #567 of functions.php you can easily open up winsyntax, and copy and paste that line...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Mozilla Firebird- Great browsing client that allows you to customize the skin/appearence and also allows you to move, hide, and add your own menu bar buttons. Customization is the best way to go, easily access the browsing function you need fast and easily. Also has plenty of 'Extensions' Or Add-Ons. Like Moz-Calc. etc.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. Sygate Personal firewall- A pretty good reliable, stable firewall. Works wonders for me. On their site you can test your firewall with their security tests. GReat for testing the strength of your firewall.

Just found this looking around Hotscripts.com

Apache 2 Triad [size 38.7 MB] (http://apache2triad.sourceforge.net/)

Another Webserver package with everything !!!
Apache2 , OpenSSL , MySQL , PHP , Perl , Python , TCL + PHP-Nuke , PHPmyadmin , AWStats + Stunnel , SSLCert + XMail , UebiMiau , PHPXMail + SlimFTPd + Zend Optimizer , Turck MMCache , PHPcoder All latest versions , installed and configured working out of the box while having the cleanest layout and structure there is. Plus our own Apache2ControlPanel suite of scripts for configuring and testing most things with a GUI + fully featured NSIS installer + all the documentation for all the software included.

[AjRap2]

I have now installed Apache2Triad, it is amazing........
Very easy to use and to configure (in my opinion)
and it's like a full freakin package !!
You get Apache 2, ASP (yes asp :P), PHP, Perl, CGI, TCL, Python, MySQL, a built in POP3 and SMTP server, along with a built-in FTP Server (ftp://), SSL, and much more !!

What more could you seriously want ?

[Ed]

Great find Aj, Phpdev 5 beta 3 has a folder under "www" that is titled apache_asp, so im guessing that PHP Dev 5 Beta 3 has somethign that either is or resembles asp, but the weird thing is, it came with two scripts na di tried to access them, but it jsut cam up with the code that was inside. i dont know, maybe its not parsing the asp code.

[AjRap2]

Well Ed, you'd have to be running the Apache 2 serve r instead of the older apache 1.*.* server.......

You can choose between them in the PHPDev Control panel strip thing :P

[Kingcodez]

Ah I gt another program:

Mozilla THUNDERBIRD
Great Email Program
Get it at http://www.mozilla.org

I cannot find the exe file that opens that panel up. They have it on their main site, but i still cannot find it, its kinda making me pretty upset. I've looked through all the files/folders in the phpdev 5 folder on my computer, but still no luck...

I have to agree with AJ on this on. Altho i havent given it a full shakedown and havent played with everything on it yet... i have to say its looking a hellova lot better than phpDEV. I believe im going to fully move over to Apache2Triad. Thanks for the tip on this to AJ ;)

[Ed]

With PHPdev 5 You get Asp, Cgi, you can probably get on through FTp. Not sure.

[Matt]

Ooo...Apache2Triad sounds amazing!

[Markleshark]

hmmm, I get a 404 on the linky you posted Aj..... I wannnnnnt

Apache2triad (http://apache2triad.sourceforge.net/)

there you go m8.....

[CWEB]

how do u use phpdev 5?

[Ed]

Hard to explain off hand, BUT if you set everything up by defults all you have to do is goto C:\phpdev5\ and that will give you a better idea.

Private- Your eyes only
www-Everyone who has your ip address.
Apache- Well the server software
PHP-php software
MySQL-MySQL software
and thats pretty much how you use it. jsut put privte things in private, and public things in public, and asp things in apache_asp, and cgi things in ../www/cgi

[Ed]

Dont know what number

/*---------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Frontpage

Great to have when your working with html, asp, dhtml, many formats for web design and the templating aspects of everything.

http://microsoft.com

[Ash]

I would not touch that program with a forty foot bargepole. :P

[Ed]

Lol, Well it does have its good an its bads. I mean I know its not perfect, but it can be a good thing to have.

[AjRap2]

Not true whatsoever !! :P
Dreamweavers the way to go.

[Ed]

ok well in any case, for the people who cannot afford dreamweaver, Frontpage is good. Frontpage can be titles a starter program.

[Markleshark]

Frontpage.... OUCH! Id rather do without, Hand Coding it is then! YEY 4 Notepad!

[AjRap2]

I thought frontpage was a pay product ?

[Ed]

It is, Comes eith Microsoft Office. or I think you can buy it seperatly, but like any other product, a bundle is always cheaper, or you get a better deal with bundles.
