'''USCD1 Plugin'''

Currently we have a collection of files in folder '''uscd''' these I have listed below. During switching these files are copied to the location shown. While copying each file its name is changed back to the original. To perform this copying we use two batch files '''cd_mode_switch.bat''' copies only the new files and '''us_mode_switch.bat''' copies original (old) files, thus switching between CD and normal Uniform Server mode respectively.

|-

old_httpd.conf

old_my-small.cnf

old_php.ini

old_config.inc.php

old_Server_Start.bat

old_Stop.bat

|}

Before looking at the batch files an understanding of the commands used will make the whole process easier to understand.

!Batch Command

!Explanation

|

pushd %~dp0

....

....

popd

|

* '''pushd''' Pushes the Current Directory onto a memory stack (Where you came from).

* '''%~dp0''' This forces the current working directory to the current location of the batch file you are running. It includes the full path not just the drive letter (if its remote that’s included).

* '''popd''' Restores the previously pushed directory (effectively returns control back to whatever call the batch file).

|

COPY switches source destination

|

'''COPY switches source destination''' Copies one or more files to another location.

'''''Switches'':''' '''/Y''' Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file.

|

..\folder\file_name

..\..\folder\file_name

|

'''..\ not a DOS command''' Its a relative path name '''..\''' means move up one folder level '''..\..\''' move up two folder levels.

Double click on this file and you are back to a default installation of Uniform Server (Well the files we have been using). The above comments also apply to this file.
