Using WAMP Neard with XOOPS

Using WAMP Neard with XOOPS This comprehensive 10-step tutorial will guide you through installing, configuring and setting up Neard, a WAMP suite.

You will learn how to set up a virtual host, install different versions of PHP, and organize folders to host XOOPS in optimal conditions.


Neard installation


1. Download
Go to the download page of the site neard.io Logo Neard
Choose to retrieve the "neard-Basic-x.7z" version.
The Light version has only Apache and PHP services.
The Full version has all the modules that you will certainly not use for standard WAMP usage.


2. Decompressing the file
Unzip the compressed file to 7z format with the free tool 7zip 7zip

As Neard is portable, you can put it on a USB stick but I strongly advise against it as access to files on a USB stick is very slow.




3. Example of an installation folder
In our tutorial, we are organised and we have chosen to install it on the D: drive under the sub-folder web.
We therefore find the following structure:

D:\

web

neard

alias

...

www

neard.exe neard.exe

...



4. Prerequisites
If your PC is running an up-to-date Ms W10, the prerequisites are all there already, and you don't have to do anything...
If not, you'll need to install the requirements .
