how to prepare web server

Post by vilma »

I would like to buy my own web server, and install mysql. I would like to ask how to start install web server, do I have to install windows2003 first, and then apache, and then mysql?

I'd start off simply by installing a solution such as apachefriends.org xampp or easyphp. They have a windows installer that puts apache php and MySQL on your machine and sets up a website for you. You don't need server 2003. This will run on any Home or Pro Windows box. They're as simple as clicking through an install.

Hope that helps!

That means that I have to buy the hardware and just install apache, php and mysql?
