N413 AMP JAM | Download XAMPP - The first knowledge sharing application in Vietnam

Download. On the XAMPP Download page, find the version of XAMPP for your machine, and PHP version 7.4. If you want to work with PHP 8, it will work for most, but not all the features of the current versions of WordPress (v6.1) and CodeIgniter(v3.1.13)

Install.After downloading XAMPP, open the .exe file and the Setup Wizard will take you through the install process. You may need to navigate around a Bitnami ad. Once the Setup Wizard downloads all the files, provide any necessary firewall permissions. Then select the box for opening the Control Panel.

XAMPP Control Panel. The Control Panel will display several modules, including Apache and MySQL. First click the “Config” button on the upper right corner. Then check the boxes that start Apache and MySQL automatically when the Control Panel is opened, and save your selections. Go back to the main Control Panel window and click the start buttons for Apache and MySQL servers. When the servers start, you will see the port numbers displayed. Apache will be on port 80 (the default port for “localhost”), and the port for MySQL is 3306 (the default MySQL port).

phpMyAdmin.In the MySQL row, click the button for “Admin”. This will open phpMyAdmin in a browser window. Go to the “User Accounts” tab and look at the user accounts for “root”. This will be the user account you will use for connecting to MySQL with XAMPP. You may also note that “root” has hostnames “127.0.0.1” and “localhost”. These are both equivalent names for the localhost server. Also note that the password is marked “No”. This means that you will use empty quotes (“”) as your password for connecting to MySQL.

You are now ready to make your first database table. That’s the starting point for the JAMS. Click on the button below to begin.
