So here is the Apache bin folder
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  ab.exe
 
ApacheMonitor.exe
 
dbmmanage.pl
 
htcacheclean.exe
 
htdbm.exe
 
htdigest.exe
 
htpasswd.exe
 
httpd.exe
 
libapr-1.dll
 
libapriconv-1.dll
 
libaprutil-1.dll
 
libeay32.dll
 
libhttpd.dll
 
libmysql.dll
 
logresolve.exe
 
openssl.exe
 
rotatelogs.exe
 
ssleay32.dll
 
wintty.exe | 	  
 
Anyone see anything I can delete?
 
I've already cleaned up the other dirs, even pimped out the config   
 
 
I know enough about PHP to know what I can and cannot delete.
 
 
As for MySQL... I know NOTHING about it, is there an explanation of everything in MySql root dir? |

| All this files are needed. But you should copy libmysql.dll from Mysql\bin to this folder. Because the one in apache\bin is mostly older than the one from mysql it self |

ab.exe :: benchmark program, not needed on prod server but nice for testing.
 
ApacheMonitor.exe :: not really needed "net start apacheservice" works fine
 
dbmmanage.pl :: dbm password manager, can be delete if you don't use DBM password databases
 
htcacheclean.exe :: Clean the cache of mod_file_cache - I usually keep this one around
 
htdbm.exe :: is used together with dbmmanage.pl
 
htdigest.exe :: manager digest password files (same rule ad dbmmanager.pl)
 
htpasswd.exe :: text based password manager (same rule as dbmmanager.pl)
 
httpd.exe
 
libapr-1.dll
 
libapriconv-1.dll
 
libaprutil-1.dll
 
libeay32.dll
 
libhttpd.dll
 
libmysql.dll
 
logresolve.exe :: resolves IP addresses in logs to the DNS name - I keep this around but again not needed if  you don't use it.
 
openssl.exe
 
rotatelogs.exe :: pipe logger to rotate logs every x days, hours... can be deleted if not used
 
ssleay32.dll
 
wintty.exe
 
 
All the once in bold can be removed without harm if you don't use them.
 
I usually keep the around unless i'm making a very very lightweight 64mb mobile version for a specific project. |
