Chitika is a popular pay-per-click advertising program similar to Google AdSense.
With Chitika eMiniMalls, webmasters are given a generous amount of control. Ads can be easily customized to display specific products or product categories in non-contextual mode, or highly relevant contextual ads based on your page's content. Payout is as high as 50-80 cents per click. I have added the Chitika on most of the pages on my site. Chitika can be used along with google adsense. Only ad network which pay as much as google does.
Let's start by installing apache (http server) . you can download
the apache installer on www.apache.org . download the verion
you like , even thought , in win systems i recomand version
2 (this tutorials is for apache 2) . here is a link for it :
After downloading the file (.msi installer) , run it .
The installation wizard is a next , next , finish 'work' ...
The installer will ask you some details like your server
name , your server adress and the admin's mail adress . if
you have a domain name or a hostname , enter the info's like
this :
Server Name : your_domain.org
Server Adress : www.your-domain.org
Admin Email : admin@yourdomain.org
if you don't have one , you should get on e free at :
Check the 'Run as a service for all users on port 8080' option
and click
next , finish to fiinish the instllation . Advice : Install
it in c: (he creates
a folder for it , don't worry) to make sure you configure
it easyer .
If you are finished , open up a browser and write in the adress
bar :
http://localhost/
If you will see a 'Test Page for Apache Installation' , everything
works .
2.)
installing PHP :
Let's install PHP . download the archives from www.php.net
. Here is a
direct link for verion 4.3.9 :
Make sure you download the archive and not the installer
. Ok! after downloading it , extract the archive in c:/php
(this is to simplify paths) . Now , open up c:/apache/conf/httpd.conf
and search for this line :
#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in
.htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination
of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride None
into :
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
MultiViews ExecCGI
#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in
.htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination
of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride All
This will allow .htaccess support on your server and make
sure you can
see the content of a folder without getting a 403 forbidden
error .
Now search for :
DirectoryIndex index.html index.var.html
and change it into :
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
Save the file and restart apache . (you can restart it by
pressing the
Restart apache server shortcut in the start menu or by writing
:
net apache restart
in a command prompt window . Ok!
you have php working for your server . Now let's configure
php and make sure it really works ! Open up c:/php/php.ini
(php.ini-dist renamed) and search for this paragraph
:
max_execution_time = 60 ; Maximum execution
time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 60 ; Maximum amount of time each script may
spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 5M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may
consume (8MB)
you should change this to whatever you want . here is an
option i use :
max_execution_time = 300 ; Maximum execution
time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 300 ; Maximum amount of time each script
may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 5M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may
consume (8MB)
Now search for :
register_globals = Off
and change it into :
register_globals = On
Search for :
extension_dir = ".\"
and change it into :
extension_dir = "c:/php/extensions"
assuming you have installed php in c: ...
Search for :
;Windows Extensions
;Note that MySQL and ODBC support is now built in, so no dll
is needed for it.
and uncomment (delete the ; in the front) the following modules
:
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = mail@your_domain.org
if you have a mail server ...
Save the files . Now let's finalize the php installation
. copy all the dll's from c:/php/dlls into
c:/windows/system32 . copy c:/php/php4ts.dll
into c:/windows/system32/ and copy php.ini
from your folder php into windows and system32 folder . restart
apache . open up notepad and add this into the file :
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
save this file in your htdocs folder (c:/apache/htdocs) as
info.php and
open up a browser . in the adress bar write :
http://localhost/info.php
you should see php's configuration in a table . a looong
file you can optionaly install zend optimizer . i am using
it ... it doesn't needs a tutorial . to install the PEAR modules
for php , just run the go-pear batch from the php folder and
2click the reg file to finish the instllation .
3.)
installing mysql :
let's install mysql . download mysql from http://www.mysql.com/
. this tutorial applyes to verion 4.0. here is a direct link
:
after downloading , extract the arhive somewhere and run
the setup.exe .
install mysql in c:/mysql and complete the installation .
open up command
prompt and write this :
cd mysql
cd bin
mysqld-max-nt --install
this will install mysql as a service . recomended . now you
would probably
consider downloading mysql control center . a gui tool to
administrate the
server in a graphical mode . here is a link :
install it like any other program and run the shortcut in
the desktop . a
window will pop-up . it will ask you to add a new connection
. here are the
info's you need to fill in :
name : localhost or main or whatever :)

pass :
click add , expand the databases menu and delete databse
text . now expand the users menu and delete all users except
root@localhost . right click it and select edit user . change
it's password to whatever you want now right click the server

for user root . as easy as that . mysql is installed !

bugy
download , unzip the contecnt into a folder in htdocs (phpMyAdmin)
and
open up config.inc.php with a text editor .
and change it to your mysql root password like this :
