[totortroll]

Hi,

I am a french teacher and i need a local server to try some software.
I have to use PMB (free reference document management tool) with a new version 7.3.2.

Is it possible to have this configuration with laragon ?

The configuration needs specifics settings :

• Web Apache Apache 2.2 à 2.4 / Librairie Apache libapache2-mod-php7.3 / Modules : rewrite, ssl, headers
  For Windows : link between Apache and php for installation (file httpd.conf ) : LoadModulephp5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_4.dll"

• Configuration Serverr Web IIS Version IIS 7.5 à 10.0 with fonctions : HTTP Communes, Redirection HTTP, CGI

• Configuration PHP Version 7.3 Extensions PHP active : php-apcu, php-bz2, php-curl, php-devel, php-dom (libxml >= 2.8), php-fileinfo, php-ftp, php-gd,
  php-iconv, php-imagick, php-intl, php-json, php-ldap, php-mbstring, php-mysqlnd, php-mysqli, php-openssl, php-session, php-soap, php-sockets, php-sqlite3, php-xdiff, php-xml, php-xsl, php-yaz, php-zlib, php-zip
  Settings : date.timezone configuré (Europe/Paris par ex.) / display_errors = off / expose_php =off
  Configuration PHP : max_execution_time >= 300 / max_input_vars >= 50000 / memory_limit >= 256M / post_max_size >= 64M / upload_max_filesize >= 64M
  Settings specific IIS : fastcgi.impersonate = 1 / fastcgi.logging = 0 / cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1 / cgi.force_redirect = 0

• Configuration Serveur BDD MySQL / MariaDB /MySQL : min. 5.5 max. 5.7 or MariaDB : min 5.5 max 10.4
  Moteur MyISAM resquest
  Config my.ini ou my.cnf : character_set_server= utf8 / collation_server= utf8_unicode_ci / default_storage_engine = MyISAM / interactive_timeout = 300 /
  join_buffer_size = 4M / key_buffer_size = 1G / max_allowed_packet=64M / open_files_limit >= 10000 / query_cache_limit = 2M / query_cache_size =16M /
  sql_mode = '' / wait_timeout = 300

@totortroll : I don't have PMB to test but from your information, PMB should work well with Laragon. You can give it a try.

Hi: quoting from the PMB site, it says "PMB was developed around a LAMP/WAMP platform (Apache, PHP, MySQL, etc.) that can therefore run on Linux, Mac OS X or Microsoft Windows"....live long & prosper

[totortroll]

Thanks for your help, but it remains difficult to configure for me. I give up !

@totortroll Hi: I am assuming you are running Windows 10 and have Laragon in it's own directory, right? I will try my best to help you but I am doing a major project for a client right now and time is scarce. I will familiarize myself with the PMB installation requirements and await your response. Best I can do...Derek
PS: there is always Teamviewer, lol...
PPS: do you need Z39.50 for search function? If you do, then you will need YAZ. Also for direct archiving you will need bz2. You also need, besides MySql, GD and XSLT. I am assuming you want a fully functional standalone instance of PMB...
PPS2: the given install method uses EasyPHP. Just wondering why you would use Laragon, which for me is the way to go, and not EasyPHP. The install would have been a bit easier for you as PMB's install instructions are geared for EasyPHP. Regardless, this matter simply requires a clarification of facts and the implementation of correct server variables.

Hi,

The bigger problem it's the php extentions. A lots of thems aren't compliled for windows.

[totortroll]

I want to use laragon because is light and portable !

@totortroll : Which php extensions do you think they work ony on Linux?
If PMB uses them, they must not specify IIS as a web server

Configuration Serverr Web IIS Version IIS 7.5

[totortroll]

php-devel
php-dom (libxml >= 2.8)
php-iconv
php-mysqlnd
php-mysqli
php-session
php-yaz
php-zlib

I can't find her for php 7.3.x

But i'am not a pro... for sur.

@totortroll Hi: the only PHP extensions you need for the installation process are as follows and I quote:

"2.1.15. Important : PHP extensions

To function properly PMB needs various PHP extensions : YAZ, XML, GD ou GD2, BZ2.

XML, a must in order to display PMB messages on screen. Active by default in EasyPHP you don't have to do anything here.

XSLT, necessary for importing/exporting records.

GD ou GD2, needed for reminder letters or else for electronic documents.

BZ2 to allow for the compression of backups.

YAZ necessary for importing records in Z39.50 from other library servers.

The DLL corresponding to these extensions need to be copied in \windows\system32 : expat.dll, iconv.dll, sablot.dll, yaz.dll.

These DLL are available in the directory Program Files\EasyPHP\php for an installation with EasyPHP.

@derek57 For whatever reason the editor on Laragon is not showing the full editor page so I will have to correspond in Twitter like messages...

[derek57]

@derek57 If worse comes to worse, one can download EasyPHP and extract the dll files from it....lol. Making sure the versions match of course...

[derek57]

@totortroll Hi: I am going to have to stop helping your right now as using Laragon for PMB will require extensive time with compiling and configuration. If you only want to evaluate PMB then I suggest installing EasyPHP and follow the PMB directions. Otherwise, option 2: install Linux (whatever distro) and the dll files will be readily available. Sorry but time is critical for me...best of luck...

No problems, tanks a lot for the help
