Forget about the individual installs, They can be quite challenging to install.XAMPP is a oneclick installer which gives you Apache, MySql, PHP, PhpMyadmin and several other packages which are pre-configured. I would recommend XAMPP for your local machine.

Forget about the individual installs, They can be quite challenging to install.

Run 3 graphical installers like any other applications - one each for Apache, PHP and MySQL. Each one detects eachother and they all work together straight away. I always wondered what the appeal of things like XAMPP was...

 

Anyway, PHPMyAdmin can be installed relatively easily by extracting all the files to the htdocs folder in Apache's directory. I would recommend creating a separate folder for PHPMyAdmin (such as htdocs/phpmyadmin/). Then open the config.inc.php file and set all the settings (address, username and password, etc...). Open your browser and it should run :) If not there are plenty of guides on the 'net.
