RapidPHP installing with Wine under Ubuntu Linux

Post by turicon »

Hello,

I'm working now with Ubuntu Linux as OS and have vmware installed for 3 Windowsprogramms I needed. One of this is RapidPHP 8.1. For all other I'm using Linux Software.

It is pedantic to start vmware, if I liked to work with RapidPHP. Now I have Wine tried, unfortunately functioned yet everything with RapidPHP. Perhaps does someone have a Workaround, how I configure Wine (or CrossOffice?) to working with RapidPHP?

I would be pleased, if someone could help.

WeBuilder under Wine (almost)

Post by GregAnd1977 »

Couple months ago I almost got WeBuilder to work under Wine in Debian (which is almost Ubuntu :-)

Everything but the "Find" dialog box worked. Very sad as I need the Find box so I'm still S.O.L. :-(

Maybe this would work for RapidPHP

backup shdocvw.dll
backup shwapi.dll
in your wine system32

copy shdocvw and shwapi from windows partition to wine system32
Set as native in winecfg

I'm using Wine & RapidPHP2007 on Ubuntu 7.10

Post by jbrunton »

So far, set-up has been easy although not as easy as a Windows machine but thats just because thats what I'm use to. I have Apache 2.2.4, Wine 0.9.58, PHP 5.2.3, MySQL 5.0.45, RapidPHP2007 installed and I'm working through the configuration - slowly.

It's a pain to have to use SUDO type commands to do stuff so saving a PHP file to the default web directory (/var/www) can't be done from within RapidPHP. I suppose it could when I either learn more about security under Ubuntu or learn more about changing the web directory for Apache.

I haven't used RapidPHP much on Ubuntu but I have on Windows. I like it a lot but wish the debugger was stronger. Hopefully, that will come later.

Hi all,

thx for your answers. But, I working the last months with RapidPHP and three other important Windows-Tools (Photoshop, EBMM and a Flash-Slideshow-Tool) in a vmware-maschine with XP. It's a good compromise. XP have no access to the internet and is save! For online access and all the remaining work I'm using Ubuntu. It's the future! :)

@jbrunton: I have also installed Apache, MySQL and PHP. And I installed Samba. In the smb.conf I integrated a readable and writeable link to var/www.

bye,
Turicon

Hit a snag

Post by jbrunton »

Ok, I hit a snag. Resolved the folder permission issue but now I see that the Find dialog doesn't work - won't accept typed input!

I hope this can be resolved!

ALthough. if you highlight text and then select Find, that works. Or, you can cut/paste text in the find box. This is a work-around.
