• Binaries are the main factor of Bearsampp. Some require to be run as a service like Apache and others are used on demand like Node.js.
• Applications are third-party utilities used by some binaries like phpMyAdmin used by PHP and MySQL / MariaDB. Each application has its own Apache alias (see bearsampp\alias folder).
• Tools are useful utilities to make Bearsampp better and enhance your developments.
• Highlight is an archived module

Modules

For binaries

• Start Bearsampp
• Switch your binary to the downloaded version (Left click > {name} > Versions)

Otherwise,

• Edit the bearsampp.conf file and replace the key {name}Version with the correct version.
• Start Bearsampp

The changes have to be done in the alias configuration in alias\phpmyadmin.conf :

<Directory "C:/neard/apps/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin4p3/4.4.15.6/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride all
    # START switchOnline tag - Do not replace!
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.1 ::1
    # END switchOnline tag - Do not replace!

Bearsampp is a portable application therefore there is nothing to install except the prerequisites package.  This provides the various Microsoft code librariesthat are used.  If you already have them installed, and its possible you already do,  they will not be installed again.

For each release there are "Upgrade notes" provided to guide you on how to upgrade.

There are two ways to disable some services to launch on startup.

First you can edit the bearsampp.conf file and change the value to 0 for keys ending with enable = "1" below BINS.
Example: mysqlEnable = "0"

Or you can go to the Bearsampp menu.
Example: Bearsampp tray menu then Mysql then Enable / Disable

To turn off and disable Skype usage of and listening on port 80 and port 443, open the Skype window, then click on the Tools menu and select Options. Click on the Advanced tab, and go to the Connection sub-tab. Untick or uncheck the checkbox for Use port 80 and 443 as an alternative for additional incoming connections option. Click on the Save button and then restart Skype to make the change effective.

Open a CMD prompt (as Admin) and type
iisreset /stop

After the modifications have been made, restart Bearsampp for the changes to take effect.

Or you can change the port number of IIS by following the official Microsoft documentation.

By default MySQL is started on port 3306 and MariaDB on port 3307.
Here is an example using PDO to access a database named wordpress installed on MySQL and MariaDB :

$mysql = new PDO('mysql:host=127.0.0.1;port=3306;dbname=wordpress', 'root', '');
$mysqlStmt = $mysql->query("SELECT * FROM wp_comments");
var_dump($mysqlStmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC));

$mariadb = new PDO('mysql:host=127.0.0.1;port=3307;dbname=wordpress', 'root', '');
$mariadbStmt = $mariadb->query("SELECT * FROM wp_comments");
var_dump($mariadbStmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC));

Since Chrome 58, self-signed certificates generated with Bearsampp are no longer accepted and you will have the error NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID if you go to https://localhost.  To resolve this you can add the .crt files to the local trusted certificate store using the steps below.

• First go to the ssl folder of bearsampp and locate the .crt file then right click on the .crt file and select "Install certificate"
  
•  Next choose "local machine"
  
• Next choose "Place all certificates in the following store" and then select "Trusted Root Certificate Authorities"
  
• Now choose "finish"
  
• Repeats for each .crt
• Close and reopen the browser

Since Ruby 2.4, RubyInstaller is based on MSYS2 toolchain. If you want to compile C based ruby gems, you will have to download and install all necessary MSYS2 build tools by typing the command ridk install used by the official installer.

By default, the user is "root" with no password

The user is postgres and there is no password for this user.
