I'm learning PHP and SQL using Xampp and I want to access my projects from two different computers. As I'm learning, I only work on localhost.
I got it working with PHP changing the document root variable in the httpd.conf file to my htdocs folder in OneDrive.
I've been trying to do something similar with the SQL database but everything I've tried ended up in errors in the phpMyAdmin site talking about extended functionalities not configured or SQL tables missing.
How can I access the same database, saved in a OneDrive folder, from anywhere?
Thanks!

I have a website on my locally hosted XAMMP server (Windows). I need to transfer this over to 123Reg.
The XAMPP server runs: PHP 7.3.2 and MySQL 5.5.5; and the 123Reg server runs:PHP 7.2.16 and MySQL 5.5.5
I have tried using Duplicator. It works however I cannot access the Wordpress backend (wp-admin) using any admin credentials or make a new one in the Duplicator wizard and via the database (it would just say 'Sorry, you can't access this page', and yes, I have tried deleting plugins and editing the .htaccess file with no luck). I have tried a manual migration (export and restore files and database) as well with the same issue as the duplicator one.
Currently, I have installed a new version of Wordpress on the 123Reg server can copied the wp-content directory from the XAMPP server to the 123Reg one. However, this is not enough. I need the whole site (including pages), cloned so they look exactly as they are on the XAMPP server on the 123Reg server.
I was expecting it to transfer the site without errors as the site is fine on my XAMMP server, but it's not.
Am I doing something wrong? I am not sure of what to do now so I would appreciate any sort of help.
I want to sync (share) A MYSQL database over several computers. My strategy here is to move the database to a DropBox directory so it can be used on multiple machines. I have found a clear description of how to do this on Windows, but the location of the database in the XAMPP directory and the names and locations of the mysql configuration files (my.ini on Windows, my.cnf on mac) are different. The config file directives are different enough that I couldn't get it to work on the mac simply by comparing the changes made in the Windows file.
I tried moving the MYSQL database and changing the my.cnf file as it made sense to me to direct the software to the new location and was unable to get it to work. I also tried leaving the config files along and attempting to redirect xampp with a symlink in the directory where it looked for the database folder. In neither case could I get xampp to fire up mysql.
I have had inconsistent success using symlinks with xampp, using them primarily to redirect xampp to a new php localhost directory. In this case I couldn't get it to do this with mysql.
Does anyone know how to do this, i.e. which setting in the my.cnf file need to be redirected (I've tried about every variation I could think of) or how to get it to follow a smylink to the alternative directory?
Thanks in advance for any help.

if you are on a Local Area Network you can simply use one of your PCs as a mysql server and connect to the database using the local IP address. If not, I solved this using Hamachi, and using the Hamachi ip address of the pc you want to use as a server. I know this is not a direct response about the symlinks and DropBox, but it solves the problem.
I'm trying to connect to MySQL using Netbeans. In Step 6 of this guide on how to do so, it says:
In the Path/URL to admin tool field, type or browse to the location of your MySQL Administration application such as the MySQL Admin Tool, PhpMyAdmin, or other web-based administration tools.
Note: mysqladmin is the MySQL admin tool found in the bin folder of the MySQL installation directory. It is a command-line tool and not ideal for use with the IDE.
So I need to find the location of the admin tool I'm using. I have PhpMyAdmin as part of the Uniform Server, so I tried to use that. But I can't find it. I manually DFS'd the UniServerX directory and couldn't find one single file which relates to PhpMyAdmin. There was a directory called "PhpMyAdmin" containing a bunch of files, none of which looked like the right ones. I did a search, and could only turn up that directory.
This is the full directory for PhpMyAdmin:
This is the form I'm trying to fill in on Netbeans:
I tried selecting "db.opt", but that wasn't the right file according to Netbeans. What should I be putting in this form? Which file singularly corresponds to PhpMyAdmin, and where should I be able to find it on my system if I have UniServer installed?
PhpMyAdmin is a web interface for managing a MySQL database. I think what you are looking for is something like one of these (try them in your browser): http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/ or http://localhost/apanel/phpMyAdmin/
The path in NetBeans can be configured to whatever you would like, you can even leave it blank. Its just a shortcut to open the admin console.
I would suggest setting it to UniController.exe (its in the top level folder of the UniServer installation). Through that tool, you can start/stop the server, and it has a button to open the PhpMyAdmin console.
Lots of conflicting reports out there when I google; can anyone help?
Basically I want to have the same databases available at work & home PCs, for development porpoises only.
I will only ever be physically at one PC (with a 45 minute trip between) and only then will there be database access. The MySql service will be running on both, but only one will be write/reading the database. Both run Windows 7
I don't need to bother with symlinks, junctions, etc as I have enough space in my DropBox to install all of Xampp there.
Can I do that without corruption?
I use something similar as part of my remote development testing, I have never tried to run a large set of data from this or a production database. Haha, but for testing queries and setting up a couple rows, etc... I use something very similar with little to no problems.
I believe that you can run the portable xampp and mysql from your Dropbox just go to www.portableapps.com to get the xampp and also download the portable launcher from the link on the page.
Let XAMPP server run on your computers, and the data folder saved on your cloud (DropBox, SkyDrive, etc).
You should install XAMPP portable on your root folder (c:) that is the same on all computer you use, then you can move XAMPP data folder (xampp Apache htdocs) and MySQL data (xampp Mysql/data) folder to Dropbox.
Do not use XAMPP installer, but use the portable one.
Configure the folder settings on both Apache and MySQL config file:
C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf
C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf
C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf
C:\xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini
Do the same with other server that you use (PostgreSQL, etc).
Make sure that you:
Always turn off XAMPP server after using on each PC.
Always sync Dropbox before changing PC, that is before logging on and after logging off on different computer.
Mind host / local domain variable on each computer.
Its probably better to use same username for all computer you want to use to run the data folder.
Other method is using PortableAppas.com, that is running the apps directly from USB.
I created a website using Code Ignitor and MySQL and want to upload everything to 000webhost.com
How do I:
upload my models, views and controllers to the public_html folder of 000webhost?
get my MySQL database up and running on 000webhost?
Thanks in advance
I am presuming that your control panel is cPanel. If thats the case then upload all your files in the web root of the server. Create a database, and change that details in database.php inside config folder. thats it, your site will be up and running.
Your .htaccess (at least mod_rewrite for codeigniter) will not work if you use the free 000webhost service (at least the last time i wanted it, the support told me that they doesn't support it... that was thy time i signed up for their free service for private test of scripts i wrote). Another thing is that for the free hosting they use their own control panel (not cPanel), cPanel is for the paid accounts.
Anyway they both offer ftp accounts, mysql databases and of course web ftp (online file manager). All you need is a ftp client (such as FileZilla or even Windows Explorer itself).
