I installed XAMPP server in a rackspace cloud server. Now I want to access it from my local PC, like accessing web server through IP and coding & executing. Any solution would be grateful received.
If you want to connect to remote server from local machine, then
you can use PuTTY - http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
Here is a brief tutorial on how to use it:
http://www.gamexe.net/other/beginner-guide-ssh/
or you can search for another one.
There are many articles about PuTTY.
How about using FTP to write your code and execute. I work directly off my server I use Netbeans as my IDE of choice and it has a ftp feature that lets you work with files directly off your server.
Is that what you meant when you wrote:
web server through IP and coding & executing

I have a localhost port forwarded SSH tunnel between an Azure Linux VM and Localhost PC using PUTTY. So when I localhost:8080 on my windows PC, I see my static website hosted on the AzureVM.
I need to upload some remote files to this website. At the moment when I click the file upload on the localhost website, it searches for files on my local windows pc.
Is there any way I could make it look for files on another server(Or the same azure VM) or maybe Azure Blob storage?
Thanks!
Ok to upload through putty is a tedious process as you need code running on the linux machine to do it .
We generally use putty to control the AWS machine and run commands directly on it and use another FTP program like File Zilla , WinSPC or somthing similar for uploading
To upload a program directly with putty you have to write the protocol yourself or use a putty add-ons but its a pain to work with .
here some choices

I have tried everything
Wamp and XAMPP only provide thier own local server and wont let me specify my own server
I have tried IIS and PHP but it doesnt work at all
I would like a simple way to get my SQL server to use PHP in my domain, i dont need it to be remote access yet
Appreciate some hand holding at this point :(
Thanks
Hi thanks for replying
I have explained below what everything meant by using xammp or want iis and php
The server I have is on the Microsoft SQL server management studio
All of the all in one installers will just user local Host and thier own server and database I want to use mine.
Whenever I try using MySQL connection it says it has activley refused connection.
I've added my credentials into the security section on the server. Allowed remote login and specified ports on the server manager program.
Why isn't there a simple step by step program to enable php use on my server and or connect it to my online site..
It seems like there are two ways to go, and the determining factor is whether you want to host on your own computer, or through a webhost.
If I have an IDE, a webhost server I subscribe to, and an FTP client to transfer my files to the server, then I don't need to install PHP, MySQL, and XAMP, right?
I know XAMP allows me make my computer website server.
When I install PHP, am I installing the intepreter for my computer/server to parse the .php files? (and same for MySQL?)
If I pay for web hosting, then their servers already have PHP and MySQL parsers, and all I need to do is upload my text files, right?
Thanks in advance
U just cant simply put the files in server without developing them.and if you want to develop any website or any webapp then u need to make your system a local server where you can execute your server side languages like php.XAMP is a short form for mysql,apache and php for windows.and 'website server' is not the proper word.use LOCALHOST instead because only u will have access to your server unless you are connected via LAN or WAN.so i can summarize the above in few points keeping in mind that you want to develop your website.
step 1:install XAMP
step 2:develop and test your scripts.
Step 3:if everything works fine than host your site in the webserver for everybody to see it.
Is there a solution that will allow my partner and I work on the same files remotely and using XAMPP? There will be not in the same network.
If yes, how do so ?
This can be done by setting up a network connection, between both parties. You can use LAN, or WLAN.
You could try downloading hamachi and setting up a virtual network that way. Downside to this is that it is only available as long as the "server" machine is connected. I have not tried using XAMPP in this environment, but it should work.
Not the desired solution, but you could also use a file repository site like basecamp to upload files you are working on and each of you install XAMPP separately. Not ideal because it would not be updated in real time, but beyond these two solutions, I don't believe it would be possible.
You just need to configure your PHP IDE to use FTP and the remote server. Everything else is handled by the IDE and it's like working on your localhost.
I build a webisite with wordpress and i want to show my website to other client computers
I run xampp server at server computer
How can i do for that?
plz answer quickly..**
Assuming the web server is accessible from the client's computer, you'll need to give connect from the client using the machine's IP address or hostname.
You will have to use a dynamic hostname, dyndns offers them.
Or put xampp it in sync folder of Dropbox. I'm using it like that. Synced from home, then when i open it from work, i got it there too.
