WEC-TYPO3 Server for PC

TYPO3 + WEC Starter Package + Full Web Server (for PCs with Windows only)

This install file is designed for rapid and easy installation to support WEC/TYPO3 testing and learning on your local PC. It contains a fully-functional web server with the WEC Starter package pre-installed and ready to run.

The installation contains:

  • Apache 1.3.35
  • PHP 5.1.4
  • MySQL 4.1.20
  • Perl 5.8
  • TYPO3 4.1.3
  • WEC Starter Package 4.1.5-1.1.0

The web server software and packaging is based on Server2Go.

This installation is designed for personal use on your local computer. It is not setup or secured for use on the public Internet as a public web server. Please do not use this installation as a public web server. Also, this installation does not support e-mail features such as user registration and prayer messages.

System Requirements:

  • A PC running Microsoft Windows
  • Approximately 350 MB of disk space (zip file + unzipped files)
  • PCs with lower memory and processor speed should run the software, but it may execute slowly.

To Install: 

  1. Choose a directory path that does not have any spaces in any directory names. Create a directory (without spaces in the name) on your local hard drive for the server files. Spaces in the directory name will disable graphics processing and the AWStats software.
  2. Click on the "WEC-TYPO3 Server Zip File" link at the bottom of this page to download the zip file. 
  3. Unzip the files into the newly-created directory. This zip file contains the many files and directories needed to run a web server and WEC-TYPO3.
  4. That's it!

To Uninstall:

  1. Delete the server directory you created to store the files.
  2. That's it! This install does not create any special installation files or Windows registry entries.

Running and Stopping:

  1. Go to the server directory and run Start.exe. This will start the server software and your browser will display the home page from the WEC Starter Package sample website. Below are the web addresses, usernames, and passwords.

    Website: http://localhost:4001/
    TYPO3 Backend: http://localhost:4001/typo3/
    Administrator - username: admin and password: wec
    Simplified Administrator - username: basicadmin and password: wec
    Simplified Content Editor - username: basicuser and password: wec
    Install Tool - password: wec
    PHPMyAdmin: http://localhost:4001/phpmyadmin/ (not typically needed)

  2. While the server is running, you will see a new round icon at the lower right of your screen in the system tray. If you move your mouse pointer over the icon then the popup text will say, "WEC-TYPO3 Server."
  3. Even though you may exit your browser, the server will continue to run on your computer. When you are done using the server you should right click on the icon in the system tray and select "Shutdown server." If the icon in the system tray is gone then the server is not running. You can also reboot your computer to stop the server.

Desktop Icon:

  • If you'd like to create an icon on your desktop to run the server, first, open the file explorer and go to the server directory.
  • Hold down the ALT key, then click on the Start.exe file, drag it to your desktop, and release the mouse button.
  • This will create an icon on your desktop that runs Start.exe when you click on it.
  • You can rename the icon (change the words below it) by right clicking on the icon, selecting "rename" then entering the new name in the icon name field.
