Install builder

Post by mistful »

Does anybody knows some php/perl/etc. written system to produce an automatic installation of another php/perl/etc. scripts? Installator with ability to import databases, copy files, create dirs, etc.

I'am looking for an analog of InstallShiled, Wise, etc. for web based applications.

I don't think It's possible.

You can build php apps that install php apps, and I'm guessing perl too. But i've yet to see a Windows/Mac/Linux app that will do what you're asking.

Who knows, maybe I'm wrong. :wink:

/me believes you are :)

So php doesnt run on windows any more?

Get the Pear installer - it is a great example imo.
It doesnt install any database items but i cant see this as a problem.

Also, easyPHP comes to mind. Installs Apache, MySQL, PHP on Windows (WAMP - just love that acronym :P) although I am not sure about the installation routine.

He said "php scripts" so i figured he maybe was refering to the web application itself, rather than the installer. :wink:


mistful, mind giving some more detail as to which one you were looking for?
