I've clearly done something worng but, novice that I am, I'm at a dead end to figuring out just where I've gone astray. I've scoured the help files and faqs locally and online but can't seem to find anything I recognize as relevant. Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction.
Have installed (actually twice) MySQL-PHP-Apache from CD included with Sams Teach Yourself PHP, MySQL and Apache in 24 Hours on Windows 98. Machine: Compaq Presario 5610, 192MBram Problem:#1 When I attempt to start Apache I get "The system cannot find the file specified" What file would that be? Service Status is dev4_423 (whatever that means). Problem #2: When clicking on MySQL stoplight icon in startup I get the MySql admin window AND a blank DOS window (MySqld)....the cursor slows to a useless crawl and properties shows only an entry in Cmd Line = c:\windows\system\conagent.exe. Cursor doesn't return to normal speed until I close the MSDOS window, which also closes MySQL. Haven't got far enough along to do anything about configuring PHP.
