Modifying a PHP applicationĪfter the WordPress is installed there are several things you can do with it from within WebMatrix. This is something that will be fixed in future releases of WebMatrix. This way WebMatrix will configure IIS Developer Express to handle PHP requests.
Note: By default WebMatrix and IIS Developer Express are not configured to run PHP even if PHP is already installed on the machine. To work this around install any PHP application via WebMatrix UI. This means that after you install WordPress with WebMatrix you can enable WordPress’ pretty s by following the instructions at IIS URL Rewrite Module support in WordPress. But even if you already have Windows 7, you may still want to use IIS Developer Express, because with that you do not need to enable real IIS Web Server included with OS on your development machine.Įven though IIS Developer Express is a lightweight development server it comes with everything needed to run PHP applications, including the latest version of FastCGI module and URL Rewrite 2.0. This is actually very cool because now it is possible to get the latest and greatest IIS features on Windows XP instead of using the good old IIS 5.1 as development web server :). Instead WebMatrix installs and uses IIS Developer Express, which is a developer-focused version of IIS that runs on all versions of Windows, starting from Windows XP. The site is not running on IIS that is included with operating system. This is not the standard port 80 used by default in IIS. At the end of the installation process you will get a working instance of WordPress, that you can configure and customize further: As you proceed you will notice that WebMatrix downloads and installs the necessary components for running WordPress – the latest version of PHP 5.2 and MySQL. Installing a PHP applicationĪfter installing and launching WebMatrix select “Site from Web Gallery” option and then pick WordPress:įollow the installation steps as described in Download and Install a PHP application. Here are the examples of how WebMatrix can be used to create and publish a PHP web site (using WordPress as a showcase).
One thing that may be not so obvious from all the existing announcements is the fact that WebMatrix has full support for installing, running and publishing PHP applications. This is a complete web development stack that can be used to start developing and deploying web sites. Is it so that this is a mysql feature only? If so, is there any good workaround that means not using a third party program, a web based input is what I'm looking for.Microsoft has recently launched a beta release of a new project called WebMatrix.
$age = 'load data local infile "./csv/tmp_st_age.csv"Įcho "Done! ".mysql_affected_rows()." rows inserted into tmp_st_age." Ībove code is something I'm trying to implement in Webmatrix but I can't seem to get it correct. Anyone having ideas on why it does not work? mysql_query("TRUNCATE TABLE `tmp_st_age`") I'm using a script to directly import csv files into my database, in php/mysql this was not that hard to do but I can't get it to work in Webmatrix and SQL Server Compact. Now I'm converting my old php mysql site to Webmatrix with SQL Server Compact. I just switched to Webmatrix because the server I was using stopped supporting MySQL / PHP.
