Good day.

Vista Ultimate, CS3 & mySQL/PHP.

I have just put Vista on my PC and had difficulty installing mySQL on
Vista. (It doesn't complete and leaves me frustrated.)

I use mySQL & PHP to develop & work on our Family's mySQL database.

Now, can I skip mySQL and install Apache server on my machine. Will it do
the same as mySQL and will I be able to run PHPmyAdmin?

Thank you for your help so long.

Ok, I was writing a lot of stuff not making sence. (It's either IIS or
Apache?!)

How can I get mySQL to successfully install on Vista?

Why don't you try one of the "all-in-one" suits out there. I'm running
easyPHP which comes with MySQL, PHP, Apache and PHPmyAdmin and it works
great. There are some help pages out there which can help you do a safe
install.

Hi Kim.

Now you're taling. Where can I get this suite from? Do I still need IIS for
my ASP or can this suite do ASP as well?

Regards,
Deon

No... it's apache, mysql and phpmyadmin. Not the best tools available
for doing asp!

If you still need it google easyphp

Excellent Kim, I have downloaded it - now it's only for the
installation. Is it easy to setup? I'm very cautious on installing &
uninstalling lately and only want something that can help me as a hobby
developer.

Thank you for putting me on the track of easyPHP!

Thanx again!
Deon

Hi Deon,

Yes it very easy to install. There is a bunch of site out there going
over installation. I recommend to follow one of these guides. (do a
search for easyPHP+install+guide or something like that)

Kim, thanx again for your help.
I have installed easyPHP but there's a problem with a port. I get an error
stating the following:

Apache cannot be runned: another Web server use the Web port or port is
blocked by firewall.

I have disabled my firewall and have even apache's config file so that it
listens to port 8080 and not for incase IIS has not fully uninstalled.

I tried to look for a support forum on easyphp but couldn't find any.
Do you have some help, please?

Regards,
Deon

Kim, I have installed easyPHP. But, Apache does not want to run. I get
this message:
Apache cannot be runned: another web server use the Web port or port is
blocked by firewall.

After this I have disabled the firewall and uninstalled IIS. Still no
luck.

Because I was so eager to get this up and running, I formatted my HDD
and did a fresh install. After som 47 updates and an anti-virus
programme, I installed easyPHP. Still no luck with Apache as I get the
same message.
What do I need to do more?

Deon (desperate!)

Deon,
Something is using port 80, to test, just type in http://localhost/ and
see what comes up, it may give you a clue as to what is using the port.
If IIS is uninstalled, something else is using it, finding it may be
hard, especially if its a clean install of Windows. I don't know
anything that would use port 80 apart from IIS that is installed in a
default Windows install.
