I think, installing xampp will be easier that going thru all these steps!

Here is the link:

 

https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html

 

It includes: Apache, MySQL, PHP + PEAR, Perl, mod_php, mod_perl, mod_ssl, OpenSSL, phpMyAdmin, Webalizer, Mercury Mail Transport System for Win32 and NetWare Systems v3.3 etc..

 

It is easy to install and run!

All in just one click!

:)

 

And the main thing is its absalutely FREE!!

 

Just try It and you can feel the difference!

 

I'm using this for my localhost, for testing all my websites, and phpbb forum!

Yes, installing of XAMPP would be definetly easier. I am not sure though if it is production worthy. I am not sure - so people, correct me if I am wrong - but I thought I read it some where that XAMPP was intended for testing environment only and they recommend us not to use if for actual live server that would be accessed by the public.
