Setting up Apache, PHP and MySQL on WinXP just to tinker and test before I upload to my site.

Is there any reason to not download PHP 5 and Apache 2?

I've already downloaded MySQL 4.1.

I'd avoid Apache 2. Use the versions your webhost is using.

That's what I figured... you dont think people will start shifting to Apache 2 anytime soon?

I don't really know much about Apache or the differences between 1 and 2... but why do you "hope not"? Is it just not ready for mission-critical sites? Or is there some other reason?

The license change (which affects recent versions of 1.3) was unacceptable. It is unfree now.
The new threading stuff doesn't appeal to me, and apparently the PHP guys.
