Goto your phpfolder

And copy the file libmysql.dll

Paste that one also in your Apache bin folder
C:\Apache\Apache2\bin\

MySQL and (optional) PhpMyAdmin:

Change rootpass to whatever you want.

If you want to use phpmyadmin download it here:

Extract it into C:\Apache\Apache2\htdocs\
Rename it to pma

Open the phpmyadmin config file.

Enter rootpass there (or the password you entered while using cmd)

Now start Apache and have fun!

I forgot to tell:

If you're going to use MySql in php, you MUST copy this dll aswell to your Apache\bin folder:

php_mysql.dll

And you must also add it in the php.ini

extension=php_mysql.dll

I've seen that one, but it didn't work out for some people i've referred to that one.

I'll give it a try and if it works, sorry for this post.

I walked through the one henry did when I did an install and it worked, though I use a little different conf so there were extra things.

I did run into some problems at some point and used this
Installing PHP5 Under Windows XP and Apache [webmasterworld.com]

wanted to try all these install threads we had

I found henry's worked well but for my particular needs I found coop's more poignant and I take nothing away from henry's high quality contribution. I can't remember what the specific issue I had was.

I also used docs more as well, as much as tutorials are great, they never can give all the info. I need many specific things. I think mysql was the only thing that I just slapped in, php and apache both got a more in depth config, some from memory, some from docs and some from those threads. Actually perl was just a drop in too, there were only apache changes to make.

actually I spent part of yesterday and then this morning reworking my local config, not too bad, moved a bunch of stuff around and set up some extras as most of my installation was in default dirs and things.

had a morning filled with regedit'y goodness, always a treat. ;)
