Installing a new Web Server, Apache, PHP, MySQL

[fatetheory]

Are there any good tutorials out there for setting up one on your own computer. Most of the ones I have found are quite outdated. I need to use PHP5, and I will be installing this on a Windows XP Pro System.

A good way to get these installed quickly is using a package like XAMPP:

do yourself a favor and use linux. apache, php and mysql all run better under linux. I'd only use windows if asp is needed

yea, it's the classic proven combination - linux, apache, mysql, php.

If you are new to Linux, you can check SLAMPP out.

It is basically a live-CD Slackware distro with Apache, MySQL, and PHP preinstalled.

Having a familiar GUI available for your first try at setting up anything, especially server applications, as a safety net is important.
