development environment for most we applications.. hope u enjoy and hope IT WORKS! (lol :D)

So before we actually start , the following are the software packages u need to have… the links are provided incase u don’t posses one..

Pre-requisites:

Windows – 98/2000/ME/XP – u can download it or buy a copy..

Apache web Server – apache 2.2.15 - http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

MySql - mysql-essential-5.1.49 - http://www.filehippo.com/download_mysql/

Installing Apache…

Step-3: Click next..

Step – 4: choose the “I accept ..” radio button and click next..

Step – 5 : Terms and conditions window will appear, after reading it click next..

Step -6: Enter "localhost" (without the quotes) for the Network Domain as well as for the Server Name and whatever email address you wish for the "Administrator's Email Address" field. The installer uses the information you enter to create a default Apache configuration file for you. You can always go back and manually change these values in your configuration file if you change your mind later. Leave the default setting of "for All Users, on Port 80, as a Service" as it is. Click "Next" when you're done.

Step-7 : choose the typical setting for installation, the installer will install with the default settings that are needed.. in case u want an indepth installation u can go for custom option and select ur own settings. Click next..

Step-8: choose the installation directory as per ur requirement, I personally recommend you to choose the default directory to avoid future problems.. , click next

Step-9: Finally click the "Install" button to allow the installer to set up Apache. When it is done, click the "Finish" button click the finish

Step -10: Upon successful installation you can see the apache service manager in the tray.. u can start , stop and restart the service from here …

You can test the installation by just going to your browser and typing http://localhost/ to get the following page..

Congrats! that completes our installation of the apache, so far so good, now if u want you can take a break before we move on to configuring the apache for your folder, this is optional and you could simply put your file in the default apache directory called htdocs. But if you want apache to load your mainpage upon typing http://localhost then you need to point the documentRoot to your directory..

Configuring for your website:

Step 1: open C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf in your notepad

Step-2: s earch for “ DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs" “ and change the path to your folder..

Eg: DocumentRoot "D:\My_website”

Step-3: now just move one page below you can see”

C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs

“ change this also to D:\My_website”

Thus you have completed Apache Installation Successfully………

Hari Sarvothama, Vayu Jeevottama

Prathamoh hanuman namaa,

Dwitiyoh bhimevacha,Poornapragna trithiyasthu, Bhagawat karya sadakah

Jai Srimad AnandaTheertha.

Sri Krishnarpanamasthu.

Hari: Om

Hanuma - Bhima - Madwa

Hari sarvothama, Vayu Jeevottama the maha manthra for the Madhva Vaishnavas , like Hare Krishna for the Gaudiyas,and Om Namo narayanaya for the vaishnavas.

The sole meaning of the life lies in the madhwa maha manthra.

Hari is one of the names of sri maha vishnu. Hari is Supreme. he is Sarvothama(Master). Hari is OMNIPOTENT. Hari is OMNI-Present. Hari is the Present, Hari is the reason for the Past and Hari will be the reason for the future.. whateever things we do, we think , we possess , which we wish , which we recieve , which we give is all hari.

Hari is everywhere , hari is in everything...

Vayu on the other hand , is a part of hari, who is responsible for providing the basic ingredient for the living beings to cherish hari. He is the jiva (life) or Air that is needed for everyliving being to live in this world.

Madhwa History:

When the evil pervasive influence of kali (i.e kali yugam) was corroding eternal vedic values, and deluding good souls into wrong paths, the Lord ordered vayu, his principal execution arm to take birth on Earth and show the correct path to good souls. Accordingly, vayu incarnated as Madhva, as foretold in the baLiThTha sUkta, and rejuventated sanAtana, vaidica, dharma.

Whenever vAyu incarnates, the rest of gods incarnate to serve him, and thus render their service to the Lord. This time too the same thing happened. The gods and heavenly saints incarnated as sanyAsis and haridAsas and propogated the concepts of shrimadAchArya.

It takes good deeds in hundreds of births to be born as a madhva. so as a madhva i am here with my first blog sharing the knowledge to everyone reading this
