HLSERVER (php to desktop) GUIDE (PHP for Desktop for Windows OS) 1. Create a new folder (Myserver) and paste hlserver.exe, icons folder and Settings.ini you have downloaded and create the following folders: app hldb hlphp hlserver icons phpmyadmin Myserver folder app folder is the server root directory where you would put your public files like .php, .css, .html, .js, etc. For testing purpose, you might like to create a new index.php file inside this folder with the following content: hldb folder is the mysql directory. Once you download mysql from the link mentioned below, you should extract it inside this folder. The content of hldb folder would look like below: my.ini and my.ini.template would be available from preconfig folder in your downloads. Both the files are for mysql 5.7.23 config. Create a blank tmp folder as well. Warning: Do not try to modify the my.ini and my.ini.template if you are not 100% sure what you are doing. It’s a medium size database configuration and would mostly meet your database requirements. hlphp folder is used for storing php source. Download the thread-safe version of php from the link mentioned below and extract the zip file to this folder. You should copy php.ini and php.ini.template from preconfig folder in your downloads and paste it into this folder. Both the .ini files are for php 7.2.11 (32 bit). hlserver folder is for apache. Download apache from the link mentioned below and extract here. Copy the httpd.conf and httpd.conf.template from your preconfig folder in the downloads and paste them into conf folder inside hlserver. Both the .conf files are for apache 2.4.35 and will also work for the latest apache binaries. icons folder contain two important icons for hlserver. So you should not delete or replace this icon. Without both icons, hlserver will no longer work. phpmyadmin folder is for phpmyadmin a database management tool for hlserver. Download phpmyadmin for official website. The download link is mentioned below. Copy the config.inc.php files from preconfig folder in your download and paste into this folder. 2. Important Download links: PHP 32bit: https://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/php-7.2.11-Win32-VC15x86.zip Mysql 32bit: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/file/?id=481159 Apache 32bit: https://home.apache.org/~steffenal/VC15/binaries/httpd-2.4.35-win32VC15.zip The latest binaries: https://www.apachelounge.com/download/ Phpmyadmin: https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/ Visual C++ Runtime: http://wampserver.aviatechno.net/files/vcpackages/all_vc_redist_x86.zip Warning: Do not use other download links other than the ones mentioned above. HLServer will not work without Visual C++ Runtime. 3. Windows OS and Runtime requirements: HL Server works on the following OS: Windows 7 SP1 (32bit & 64bit) - tested Windows 8 (32bit & 64bit) - tested Windows 10 (32bit & 64bit) - tested Important: If you have anyone of the specified OS up and running, download Visual C++ Runtime from the link mentioned above and Install Visual C++ Runtime 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017. You will also need to install Internet Explorer 11. Note: If you do not have SP1 for Windows 7, download and install System Update Readiness tool (https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=3132) and download SP1 from here: Go to https://www.microsoft.com/enus/download/details.aspx?id=5842 and select the bottom one windows6.1-KB976932X86.exe and install it. Warning: HL Server will not work on Windows XP and Vista. 4. Rename httpd.exe to hl_httpd.exe. httpd.exe is inside the bin folder in hlserver folder. To test Apache configuration, Open Command Prompt and cd to the bin directory and run the following code: hl_httpd.exe –t 5. To generate data directory for mysql, open command prompt and cd to the bin directory in hldb. Now type the following commands: mysqld --initialize-insecure --user=root 6. 7. Rename mysqld.exe to hl_mysqld.exe. mysqld.exe is inside the bin folder in hldb folder. Delete lib folder from hldb. Delete mysqld.pdb from bin folder in hldb. To set root password for mysql, Open hlserver.exe in browser mode and click mysql console from the tray menu. This will open mysql console. It will prompt for password, hit ENTER key and you will be inside mysql command. To set password, use the following command. mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR ‘root’@’localhost’=PASSWORD(‘admin’); mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; mysql> EXIT; Here we set root password as admin. You must restart hlserver Why HL Server? HL server is a small portable server. In addition, it has its own desktop user interface (IE-11 rendering). As a developer, you may need to create installer for your php application. HL server makes this very easy for you. You can use any free/commercial installer for your php application like any other desktop software installer. I do recommend advanced installer for this purpose. It acts like PHP to .exe converter. Is there any support? Yes I do support HL Server. If you have problem configuring your php, apache and mysql, I can help you. However, support is not free but cheap. I can do support via Team Viewer, email, and mobile communication. Is there 64bit Version? Yes, 64bit version is supported. Still 32bit version also works on 64bit Windows OS.
