The MySQL installation stands on its own, and has, what MySQL is concerned,
nothing to do with Apache or PHP. Your book is right when suggesting the
install order; as, typically, you want to compile Apache with something like
"--with-mysql=/usr/local"; and then, thereafter, PHP with something like
"--with-apxs=/usr/local/www/bin/apxs".
None of this, I suddenly realize, is actually relevant, as you are on
Windoze, and probably are not compiling much of anything. :)
What you need to be concentrating on, is making sure MySQL runs as a
service. If memory serves me correctly, you will, depending on your binary,
have to run that binary with the --install parameter; like so:
"mysqld-max-nt --install". After that, check that it exists as a service,
and start the service if necessary.
