Working with BBServer

All previous versions of PHPBrowserbox before 6.0 have this server incorporated into them. But v6.0 has now made this server a separate application.

This is basically the web server equivalent of WAMP, XAMPP and other LAMP servers. This is what runs behind the scene to allow you run the php/mysql applications, phpmyadmin e.t.c

This server is started in the background whenever you start phpbrowserbox.

  2. By launching the terminal and doing bbserver status or bbstatus

5. Troubleshooting Server

The server is basically running Apache and MySQL as a service.

To troubleshoot you can do the following:

  1. Services check : from any terminal including the BBconsole, run the command services.msc this will launch Services checker. The webserver service name varies but should be something like BB_HTTPD_SERVICE611227314. That of MySQL should be something like BB_MYSQLD_SERVICE611227314.

  2. Check the actual service names by using the special Bbconsole command bbset to show you the current environment variables. This will help you in step 1.

  3. You can try restarting the server by using any of the means above e.g. bbrestart

  4. Check if the php is working properly: you can try running on the terminal command like: php --version, php -m

  5. Check if Apache is working properly: you can run apache commands on the terminal e.g. httpd -t, httpd -M

  6. Check if mysql is working properly: you can run commands like mysql -u root on the terminal.
