Apache, MySQL and PHP in one bundle

You are a web developer? But have no time to install apache webserver, mysql database and web programming language PHP on linux server. There are solutions that are easy and fast, download and install a bundle software, it is available in windows and linux. The bundle software is quite a lot of types and variations on the internet, I have try Xampp and WampServer, both bundle 3 application software for web developers above. Both have ease in installation and configuration, the difference Xampp more comprehensive, because it provides many additional add-on, so the size file is more bigger.

WampServer

Wamp is a Web Development tool that consists of Apache, MySQL and PHP, PHPMyAdmin and SQLiteManager added. The two last tools use to manage MySQL database. Kelebihan Wamp selain ukuran file yang kecil juga memiliki kemampuan menambah add-on versi lain dari Apache, MySQL maupun PHP selain yang sudah ada. The advantage, Wamp has small size, also has the ability to add add-on. Add-on itself can be downloaded in here.


Xampp
Xampp is also the web development tool, which consists of Apache, MySQL, PHP, and some add-on that directly bundle, such as: PROFTPD FTP Server (for linux), filezilla FTP Server (for the windows version), Webalizer, phpMyAdmin, SQLite, etc. Some add-on as a separate package, such as Perl and TomCat also provided by xampp. Xampp have their own convenience with the availability of a simple control panel look and feel.

Besides, if developers want to try the program in PHP 4, xampp provides PHP Switch tools, It has ability to change version to 4, the default of php version is 5.

BackupPC, OpenSource Backup System for Windows and Linux via Network

Often we have difficulty if our server crashes, corrupt registry, hard disk failure, etc. At the time, corrupt registry occurred in pc, notebook or server Windows, unfortunately it does not have good backups and system state data. This fundamental error of fact does not need to happen. Although we successfully restore the system, but the loss of data and time, also money to pay consultants from the outside, so that hamper the existing business processes.

So we need to do a System State backup on a regular basis and backup data. In addition there is a need to have adequate backup systems. In fact many commercial software, such as: Acronis Recovery for Microsoft Exchange, EMC Legato Networker, ArchServe Backup, Symantec Backup Exec, Paragon Drive Backup, etc.. These software also need a solid hardware infrastructure, and of course expensive. Well, if the company does not have the budget then we can find other alternative backup system, which is cheap enough and realible enough.

There are many alternative backup system based on opensource software, such as Amanda, BackupPC and Bacula, and many more. For case, Amanda and Bacula, actually quite powerful and has features that are complete, can be backup to TAPE, Virtual Tape and Disk Library, but is quite complex interconnect configuration, this according to me, the others may be different. I try and found that BackupPC configuration more easier. According to my personal, BackupPC needs to be used for day-to-day operations. Because it can be used to backup servers, PCs, and Notebooks.

BackupPC has a adequate features and only for backup to disk through the network. Some of the feature is quite adequate, such as: backup via Network, does not need to install software on the client, there is compression, the administrator interface to a web gui, support SMB, rsync, ssh, RSH, nfs. Ability backup data up to 2 ^ 51 bytes, both full backups and incremental backups. And reliable enough in Linux, Windows 95, 98, XP, 2000 and Solaris. Unfortunately BackupPC is not yet support VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Services), so the files that are open or locked by the application won't backup by BackupPC. Therefore we need to combine between NTBackup and BackupPC, we use NTBackup to backup system state and all data. We use BackupPC for backup file .bkf, which will be stored in the BackupPC server.

Unfortunately, despite the success we backup file system for Windows, we fail to restore from backup data, only file that really pure data or not used by application can be restored succesfully.

I install the Backup PC with Ubuntu 8.04 distro, installation itself is quite simple like this:

#sudo apt-get update
#sudo apt-get install backuppc
Automatically install it's dependence package, such as perl (backuppc made from perl programming language), apache, smbclient, SMB-common, tar, rsync, openssl. We can install with Synaptic package manager.
After installation is complete we will have a web link to the administration panle and also username and password to login.
Go to the web administration, opening the browser:
, Beni-laptop is the hostname can be replaced with the IP Address. Enter the username: and password backuppc

Click OK.
Configuration itself is quite easy, go to Edit hosts.

Click Add button and fill the hostname or IP of your PC/Server/Notebook, also enter user. Once finished, do not forget to click Save button.
Then browse to the IP / Hostname that we create, edit config, and go to Xfer tab, enter its SMBSharepasswd:


Here are some screenshots BackupPC:
