Hello

I think you'll have better luck if you auto install

Xampp. It installs Apache, php, mysql,
phpmyadmin
(graphical interface for mysql--easier to manage mysql--your db),

and and ftp. All files are stored in htdocs where you

can easily change files. I'm am running Xampp on my system

at home using localhost. Follow the link below for easy

download and install of Xampp.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/

thanks
