Will Xampp affect by log4j? - xampp

We have installed Xampp in D Drive at windows server 2016 suddenly that Drive changed its format from NTFS to RAW..
System admin suspect that it will affected by log4j due to the usage of apache service so that only Drives are encrypted.. But We were not use any log4j in our server because we use php and mysql..
Can anyone help me with this issue?

Just did a quick check on this and although log4j is part of the Apache foundation, Apache httpd is not written in Java so it does not include log4j. As far as I'm aware, none of the XAMPP components are written in Java.

Apache install on Windows, cannot find installer

I'm trying for a couple of hours to find a MSI or EXE install package for Apache in Windows, and simply could not find it anywhere. All i get is a zip file with the directory structure, but when i extract it obviously the service is not installed / configured.
Can someone please point me to a place where i can find a MSI installer pro Win 2008 / 64bit ?
Thanks in advance.
This is why there are several packages including WAMP, XAMPP etc because it must be compiled and Apache will not provide binaries.
The Apache HTTP Server Project itself does not provide binary releases
of software, only source code.
A quick search would reveal some sources where you can download load them. I suggest to go with one of these to make maintaining it easier for yourself.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/platform/windows.html#down
Here are some suggestions as noted in the docs.
ApacheHaus
Apache Lounge
BitNami WAMP Stack
WampServer
XAMPP
Edit:
I do not know specifically where you can get 2.4 msi and there may not be but 2.2 is still available if you have to have an installer. Which is still the most used version. Which is what I run on all my servers. Get 2.2.25
https://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/
If you want 2.4 for windows which is NEWER that is the correct package from Apache Lounge you don't need an installer. The package give you the exact layout for the web sever. You're looking for a pretty little msi that goes through a wizard like WAMP, you're not going to find that. Installing from that zip you downloaded is easy and only takes like 5 minutes to setup. You can also put httpd.exe in the windows startup to so that it starts when it boots. Watch this video, it walks your through setting 2.4 up.

Logstash and Kibana installers for Windows

I haven't found a pure Windows-only installation for Logstash and Kibana.
I am starting to dig into using Logstash to manage log4j logs as input.
Can anybody point me to pure Windows-only (using only Windows tools) installation for a standalone Windows developer machine?
Kibana can easily be installed in IIS on windows. (tested IIS 7.5, windows 7).
All you need to do is just extract the kibana root folder to your root IIS folder for your
default site (its in c:\inetpub\wwwroot by default).
You'll only need to add mimetype .json text/html in the IIS console for your site for loading kibana json dashboards.
Thats it! its no big deal really, 5 seconds of work.
Can't help you about logstash as i didnt use it myself. Instead, i'm planning to use a .net log4net ElasticSearch appender to write logs directory to ElasticSearch.

Adding a Banner/Message to all Pages on Web Server

I have two web servers, Windows machines running Apache.
One is a backup of the other, so if one fails the other can be used instead.
Does anyone know if it's possible to configure Apache so it displays a small banner/message on each page it serves to say that the user is running on the backup server?
I did find a 3rd party module (mod-substitute-append http://code.google.com/p/mod-substitute-append/) that may have done what I wanted, but there appears to be no documentation for it, and when downloaded looks like it was written to be installed on a Linux machine.
Does anyone have any ideas I can try?
Apache 2.2 ships with mod_substitute: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_substitute.html
Apache 2.4 ships with mod_sed: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/new_features_2_4.html
From the documentation, mod_sed does similar things to mod_substitute_append (which I have used, on Linux). It might be worth grabbing an Apache 2.4 Windows binary and seeing how you get on.

Localhost software for Windows 7

What is a good piece of software to be able to have a set of files hosted from a localhost on Windows 7?
IIS 7 - really easy to use and it comes with a default website already setup. Just drop your files in and right click the site, then click start.
If you are interested in a LAMP port for Windows (preferring Apache over the built-in IIS) check out XAMPP. It bundles everything you typically need on a web server: Apache web server, MySQL database with web admin UI, PHP and Perl languagues, FTP and mail servers.
There is also WAMP, but I have no experience with that.
I'm using apache. Using apache on windows
You can install it, then install php ect. as you need them...
If you're looking for ASP/ASPX then either use VS internal web server, or IIS.
Assuming that your looking for a PHP/Apache/MySQL environment, I would recommend EasyPHP. It comes with the latest version of PHP, Apache, MySQL, Phpmyadmin and a pretty easy to use admin panel.
easy php is good stuff, my problem with it is that its just toooo slow... but the features are nice, sometimes you'd not mind the slowness because of the features on the Admin Panel that comes with it... But if you're looking for speed... then XAMPP or IIS is the way to go...
if you install them both you gonna need to configure the Apache and give it a port that does not clash with IIS...

Joomla FTP problem!

Good evening everyone, I been workin' on Ubuntu server, and I work from a remote pc that uses Windows XP Pro and ubuntu 9.10 too...ok the thing is...I installed joomla 1.5 last version on the ubuntu server from my pc and everything was good until I had to fill the ftp information, never found the connection path so I installed without it...now I have my joomla but I want to install some extensions and here's the problem, with the FTP Filezilla runin' on windows I connect perfectly with the server as with SSH in Ubuntu, but when I try to fill the FTP information on joomla, it doesnt recognizes the path, any idea about it?...
If it's 1.5, you really don't need the FTP in the Joomla configuration set.
Try this: disable FTP in Joomla. (Global Configuration / Server)
Then try to install a component / module / plugin / whatever.
It's a bit counterintuitive, but will most likely work - or at least it does in my experience. Joomla's file system can manage files for you... it's that whole content management system thing.
If you're dead set on enabling FTP, then check the Global Configuration, and see what the :Path to Temp-folder: is set to. In 1and1's case, it'll be something like:
/homepages/26/d264424517/htdocs/english/tmp
Strip the 'tmp' and you'll see where '/english' would be the root path for the FTP setting, but again you most likely don't need it.
Please read the FTP Layer hints on the Joomla! forum. The info here had helped me resolved similar problems in the past.
