Apache/PHP/Mysql on XP

[mrdeeye]

i couldnt find anything searching on the forums so i thought id post this...i am tryin to get Apache/PHP/MySQL on my Windows XP system to start teaching myself.....are their any good websites to help me get them working....i tried about a month a go and i got Apache working but i couldnt get any of the others to work

i was also reading...and i read somewhere, correct me if im wrong, that you have to install php to WORK with apache? is that just edited the config file or something? so if i install php it wont work with apache right away?? i guess that would go with mysql? or even perl if i added that in as well?

Best option is to go to www.wampserver.com and download that and it installs it all for you preconfigured to work,

is it really going to be THAT difficult to install and configure it to work? or is my absolute best option to download wamp server??

How to get Apache/PHP/MySQL working under Windows:

1) Install Apache.
2) Install PHP.
3) Open the file install.txt that comes with PHP, follow the installation instructions for Apache, they usually involve copying a couple of lines to httpd.conf.
4) Install MySQL.
5) Make sure that Apache and MySQL services are running.

That's it.

It ain't that difficult, it just makes it a doddle! I keep moving my work from place to place so it's handier than installing em seperate.
