Starting to get very very frustrated Apache 2.2.17 php 5.2.17 MySQL 5.5.10

[Ghostcore]

So I have ready countless how too's

I have tried Different versions

I have uninstalled and reinstalled sooo many times

 

All Im trying to do is setup an apache web server for internal use with php and mysql capabilities.

 

I can get apache to play nice with php but no matter what I do or try I just cant get phpinfo(); to display mysql modules information nor can I get phpmyadmin to connect.

 

again Im using all updated stable binary's IS there a good verified walk trough for winxp/7?

 

Please help.

You could try using xampp or some other all-in-one package.  I use xampp on Windows 7, it took maybe 3 minutes to have apache/mysql/php up and running.

Honestly I don't see the learning ability of using a shotgun approach.

 

However an update

 

I have Mysql and Mysqli extensions loading and showing under phpinfo(); problem is I had to completely uninstall and start from scratch

 

Also i used Mysql 5.1 rather then the 5.5 which is NOT what im trying to get done.

 

The question now changes direction a bit and becomes: How would I go about upgrading the MySQL to 5.5.10 from a currently working 5.1 version?

Possible help tip: install MySQL before PHP module

 

It might be good to post what you tried in a nutshell.

I did find this old article: http://www.puremango.co.uk/2009/01/wamp_97/

 

good luck
