Personally, I prefer Apache over IIS (or PWS, as the case may be), even in a WinXP environment. Certain aspects of my work require that I use just such a configuration on a regular basis and, while not as stable as Linux/BSD might be, I think it's better than whatever MS supplies with the operating system.
I did a search on Google and was able to find a setup tutorial that may be helpful. Good luck. http://www.ricocheting.com/server/ Edward Dudlik Becoming Digital www.becomingdigital.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Blomstrom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Becoming Digital" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, 07 June, 2003 00:27 Subject: Color & Images + Installation Questions At 09:55 PM 6/6/2003 -0400, Becoming Digital wrote: >"Rather than let discussion here stray too far from strictly MySQL issues, try >subscribing to the PHP-DB mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and >re-posting there. We'd all be happy to help you. :)" Thanks. I just e-mailed that address with "subscribe" in the subject line. I've been wanting to learn about PHP, too. I have an installation question, too. I'm downloading MySQL right this minute. I was reading the installation instructions and found the server stuff pretty confusing. I think it said I have to log on to my server as an administrator and do something. I can probably figure out how to do that - my computer is running on Windows XP, which I understand has an IIS server, or something like that. But I just want to make sure I don't screw anything up when I install MySQL. I do a lot of work with webpages, but I don't understand servers that well. When I install MySQL, am I installing another server? If so, is there any way it can mess up my other server? As long as I can continue previewing my webpages, it's no problem. I'm just not sure exactly what I'm doing right now. Thanks! -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
