ToonMariner Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 IMO opinion it is always best to install manually - you get to know the system much better and can trouble shoot much more readily.Nothing worng with apache 2, php 5 or mysql 5. Especially if you go for the latest STABLE or RECOMMENDED release.

wildteen88 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Dont download Apache2.2 as PHP doesn't support this version, ubless I have missed something.Download the following versions:apache_2.0.55-win32-x86-no_ssl.msiPHP 5.1.5 zip package MySQL 4/5Dont download the inataller for PHP as its is not needed. All it does is extract the files to the installation folder you choose. So the zipped package is recommended you just extract the files top where you want pHP to be installed to and your done!If you're going to do a manual install. I would recommend you to install APache, PHP and MySQL in a file called server in the root of your HD ie (C:\Server\). That all of your Server related programs are centralised in one located and easy to get to. Thi is what your server shojld look like after install:Apache - C:\server\Apache2PHP - C:\server\PHPMySQL - C:\server\MySQL Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/7058-great-question/#findComment-25760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
