Hi.
If you are using windows, you could simply download the individual .msi installation packages for
Apache,
PHP and
MySQL .
They are very easy to install on Windows.
Two things you got to look out for tho if you try this.
First... Install them in this order:
- Apache
- MySQL
- PHP
Second...During the PHP Installation, at the page where you can select which HTTP server to install it for, select the correct Apache version! (2.2 most likely (atm))
Later in the PHP installation, when you get the chance to pick which parts to install, remember to include the mysql and/or mysqli modules.
There are probably some all-in-one combo packages that take care of all this for you, I have just always like it better this way :P
