PhpEnv 5.7 installation, use evaluation, and more new functions are waiting for you to experience

Weieis blog once wrote in phpEnv5.0 The first experience of phpEnv's elegant and powerful PHP integrated environment installation Through preliminary contact with Wei, I think this php environment package is pretty good. After continuous improvement over this period of time, phpEnv has been updated to version 5.7. Let's take a look at the new functions and changes.

1、 Detailed Introduction to phpEnv

The main function of phpEnv is to quickly build a php environment on the local computer for installing and debugging php websites. Of course, it can also be used to configure the server environment online if you want.

The UI interface of the current 5.7 version has not changed much, because the PHP environment package is mainly reflected in the function, and the UI and other graphical interfaces do not need to be specially modified. The installation package is several megabytes smaller than version 5.0, which is also an improvement. Smaller, faster, stronger.

After downloading, installing and debugging, Lao Wei went through the process of building a website, and found that compared with the last evaluation, there were great changes in functions. They are listed below.

1. With the integrated vc environment, all software is completely green, and users do not need to install the vc environment. Fast installation and user experience optimization;

2. In response to the voice of netizens, we added php 5.2, which takes care that many non updated php programs can only run in older php versions;

3. New software management, exclusive core functions, support online downloading of software, integrate common environment software in phpEnv, one click installation and use, very convenient;

4. Software settings are completely revised, with new functions such as changing theme colors, changing service ports, automatically generating hosts, and automatically restarting services;

5. Apache and Nginx site management add the function of configuring https certificates. https is now the standard configuration of mainstream websites, and Lao Wei strongly recommends that everyone add SSL certificates to their websites;

6. A series of acceleration and optimization measures have been taken for the software. For example, the software startup speed is accelerated, the software directory opening speed is accelerated, the software tray icon display is optimized, the message is optimized, and the download is optimized;

7. Memcached and Redis, two cache acceleration components, have been added to speed up website opening. These two components are well added. Even the Windows server can use the acceleration component. It is just necessary to optimize the website speed.

8. The IIS management mentioned in the last evaluation has been added.

It can be seen that the author has used a lot of thought. After all, it is personal maintenance software. Everything can only be pondered, researched and improved by himself. However, the speed of version update is also very frequent, which can quickly absorb experience and achieve rapid iteration.

There are still many shortcomings of this software that need to be improved. Of course, this is a step by step thing.

1. Compared with similar software, it lacks FTP server software and 301 redirection function. Some students still put this software on the server to deploy the website. If they want to grow, the corresponding functions on the server should be complete;

2. Timing function. Considering that many people do not have much time to maintain the server, the requirements of regularly backing up the website, database, and restarting the server should also be considered;

3. Nginx, Apache optimization and other functions also require users to manually add and delete code. Considering that users' understanding of PHP is uneven, it will be more popular if they can fill in the blank and choose a simpler and more stupid operation later;

Generally speaking, this software has more functions on the local computer test website, and its functions are more and more complete from the overall situation. The code iteration is also fast. I hope to see more new functions and changes in the later version.

2、 Recommended servers for installing phpEnv

If you use phpEnv for a Windows server server, it is suitable for 1-core 2G memory, 2-core 4G memory and higher configurations. The Windows server system itself takes up a lot of memory, and 1G memory is hard to run, let alone running php environment and website programs. Therefore, Lao Wei suggested to choose 2G memory or higher.

Our basic requirements for WordPress blogs are stability and speed. So the choice of server is very important. In addition to the above two points, the server also needs to be cost-effective. If you start with a personal blog, you don't need to spend a lot of money to buy a high configuration server. You can buy a server with 1 core, 1G memory, and 1M bandwidth at the beginning. If it is not enough, you can upgrade the configuration later. In China, we can first consider Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud and other cloud servers of large businesses. There is nothing wrong with using them for a long time. Don't worry about it. The price is also worthy of this configuration.

1. According to the official big data analysis results, Alibaba Cloud Server launched the following popular configurations for promotional activities:

2. The performance balancing configuration is divided into 1 core 1G, 1 core 2G, 2 core 4G, and 4 core 8G:

Shared instances are competing for system resources. Personal blogs and small flow websites are very affordable;

The computing network enhanced instance can enjoy system resources exclusively, also called exclusive configuration. You can enjoy system resources 100% alone, without CPU performance restrictions or resource contention.

Relatively speaking, the enhanced computing network has more powerful performance and higher cost performance, which is suitable for high traffic services and enterprise level services.

2. Tencent Cloud

Tencent Cloud also has a similar ECS configuration, which is more cost-effective.

A、 new user Click me to get it 2860 yuan free exclusive coupon for Tencent Cloud, which can be received in a limited time.

The following are the most popular S2 standard configurations of Tencent Cloud, and the bandwidth can be 1M/2M/5M/10M. Because this is a 30% discount price for Tencent Cloud's activities, and the cost performance ratio is very high, so Lao Wei recommends that you choose according to your business needs.
