Greetings
I am trying to build a local server environment for my web development
projects (I also try to get oscommerce working) . In order to achieve this I
downloaded XAMPP but this software package appears to be still in
development, full of bugs and incompatibilities. I just simply don't have
time to hang around their forum for the next half year to hopefully get it
going.
Now I decided to download Apache/PHP/MySQL/Zend, etc, all individual and
build my local server.
Apache is on my Windows XP-Pro SP2 already and running just fine (very
simple and clean installation)
Next:
- I downloaded the Windows Binary
Installerhttp://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/php-5.3.0-nts-Win32-VC9-x86.msi[23.85MB]
sha1:
1d2c4e6aa5b3d308fb57dd0e2621b6db6d7167f2
This should have given me a window during the installation like
"attachment_1", in which I can choose Apache as my server but - it didn't
- Then I downloaded PHP complete source codePHP 5.2.10
(tar.gz)http://www.php.net/get/php-5.2.10.tar.gz/from/a/mirror[11,166Kb] - 18 June 2009 md5:
85753ba2909ac9fae5bca516adbda9e9
Now all I need is your assistance on how to build PHP (and possibly include
phpMyAdmin) so it would work with Apache and MySQL. Having said this, I
would appreciate if you could advice on how to go about it.

Since this is an installation problem rather than a development one, it should
be on one of the general lists ... php-windows or php-install

The 5.3-VC9 build does not support Apache ... you need the 5.3-VC6 builds for
that.

Why download the source? There is a binary for 5.2.10 which since it uses the
previous windows build structure it does support Apache 'out of the box'.
If you still have a problem post to php-windows@lists.php.net. There are also
a lot of past messages there on this area.
p.s. I'd suggest zencart rather than oscommerce, I'm using a port of zencart
myself as I need it integrated with the rest of the site.
