Looking for help Setting up Xampp on vps for game egister

[dkg5755]

I have a game server running on a vps and mssql I would like to know how to set up a web register to create accounts in sql database using php scripts, how to set it up properly so it will work the first time . A link to a good tutorial or just honest help. Thanks in advance.

this is on linux I assume? Which distro? It would be better to just install apache and then make phpmyadmin available using that.

Its windows server 2008r sorry for not mentioning the OS

Very bad idea. Xampp is not made for live servers, it is made for testing locally. I strongly advise using something else if youre going to have it on your box. I use the Abyss X2 webserver. Works really good, easy to setup and free. Take a look at it, see if that will work for you.

Use IIS on windows if you don't need anything apache specific. It should be a role available in your server manager.

Xampp is fine if you know how to harden it for a live server. But if you know how to do that you probably wouldn't be using xampp anyway.

I am a complete noob at this kind of set up for html and php so I have very little knowledge on it except to put into htdocs the rest im completely new to me, still unsure if I should just go with a hosting plan offered or not but not knowing what or how to do most of the set up well no use wasting money yet.
