[PROGRAM] 4images Mobile Server

[† manurom]

Hello;
I have been working with the 4images team for a while.
We have setup a program to run a Standalone Web Server, including 4images. All agreements obtained.
It is designed to let people show their work on 4images anywhere a Windows PC is, without needing a connection to the Internet.
Its first use is in an USB Flash Drive, but it can be used in a fixed hard disk too.

It is called 4images Mobile Server.
Features:

• Apache/2.0.50 (Win32)
• MySQL 4.0.20a
• PHP Version 4.3.11
• phpMyAdmin 2.6.4-pl1
• 4images 1.7.7

It runs on Windows based PCs a local webserver running 4images.
When the program is launched, it appears an icon in the systray:




As displayed, it is provided with 4 languages for the management interface: german, english, spanish and french (many thanks to kai for the german translation).

• How does it work

__________ 4images Mobile Server is provided in a ZIP archive. Just download it and unpack the whole archive at the root of an USB Flash Drive.
                   Once the files have been unpacked, the USB Flash Drive becomes autorun able. It has a new icon in "My Computer":

                  Just let your computer launch the autorun program. The webserver will be started, and your default browser will show the first installation page of 4images. At this point, you just have to choose your language and begin the installation. Nothing more is required.
                   Accounts and passwords are yet configured:
                   4images: admin login: admin
                                admin password: admin
                   MySQL:  account: root
                                account password: root

__________ There is also an installer version that installs the program on the computer, by default in c:\4images Mobile Server\, setting up a new group in the programs menu and a new icon on the desktop.
                   Once you have done all the work you need, simply copy the 4images Mobile Server folder content to an USB Flash Drive. Simply by plugging it to another computer, you will run your site without any installation routine.
                   ( You may have usual paranoid messages from MS Security Center about Apache and MySQL, and perhaps in Internet Explorer on the first loading screen. MS Windows users won't there be surprised...)

• How to get the program?

__________ Download it form here: .zip


Have a look, and try it.



Features:

• PHP 5.2.3
• Apache 2.0.59
• MySQL 5.0.37
• PhpMyAdmin 2.11.5
• GD Bundled (2.0.34 compatible)

hi manurom,

1. thanks for documentations ... I use the English translation ... but would also use a German translation ...
2. after a successful 4images Mobile Server Installation I will offer my help for a German translation ...
but now my problems with a installation ...
3. after click on the german flag the program will not lauch the Apache/MySQL/PHP webserver ...
... there are no messages from security center ...
... the 4images MS icon is shown in the system tray, but no browser will start a installations page ... ?
4. and so I can't start any function via 4images MS icon in the system tray ... my browser shows only blank pages ...

what is wrong ... ?

Hi mawenzi, and many thanks for your help proposition.
About your problems, what please is your operating Windows system (and which service pack)?
Please don't answer you're still using MS Internet Explorer browser as default browser, or else you might have to adjust security settings for this boring IE to allow for redirect ( the first page is a local page that calls the virtual sever homepage using http refresh).
Have you got any other firewall installed, like Kerio or ZoneAlarm?
(I do not know, but has the program been launched twice?)
Did you try on another computer and met the same problem?
I will download both the installation and zip program and try both into a few computers to try to reproduce your problem, allthough I have already done this many and many times before getting them online (XP Home, Pro, with or without SP2, Windows 2000).
Please let me know.

If you agree to help in German traduction, and by the way 4images is originally a german software, please let me know where I can send you my Word doc to have it translated (PM, as natural).
Many thanks in advance.

I am yet working on a next version with such features:
    - phpMyAdmin 2.10.1
    - MySQL 5.0.41
    - Apache 2.0.59
    - PHP & PHP Extensions 5.2.3 (working on a downgrade to PHP 4.x.x for users waiting for PHP 5.x.x upgrade)
    - ActivePerl 5.8.8.820
    - phpMyBackupPro 2.1 (not completely integrated)

Many thanks here to those who have downloaded the software and tested it.
Please share here your experience.
Regards.

Many tests done on several configs (OS, Antivirus, Firewall, Default Browser).

I found a few bugs with some redirection and packed scripts.

Changed structure, with no more redirection scripts and unpacked the other scripts.

After that, all tests were OK on every computer .

ZIP and Installable versions updated today on my website. Youn can now download and delete the old version.

Many thanks for your feed-back, mawenzi .
