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 Installer[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)[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. -- Best regards Norbert Harms report broken links ____________________________________ Team GBTX LTD Global Business Trade Exchange Limited 1801 Wing On Central Building 26 Des Voeux Road, Central, HK Tel: +852 28927618 Fax: +852 30075132 infogbtx@gmail.com http://www.chinabiz21.com --- ## #45233 — Lester Caine — 2009-08-07T07:00:14+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/45232#45233 · In reply to: #45232 Team GBTX LTD wrote: > Greetings > > I am trying to build a local server environment for my web development > projects (I also try to get oscommerce working) .

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 > 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 > Installer[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 The 5.3-VC9 build does not support Apache ... you need the 5.3-VC6 builds for that. > - Then I downloaded PHP complete source codePHP 5.2.10 > (tar.gz)[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.

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. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
