Hi Guys, I'm totally new to Apache and PHP. I have a VAIO Notebook with Vista Home Basic. I downloaded the PHP windows installer from PHP.net but when I tried to install it, it is asking for web server technology that I wish to use. I needed Apache for that purpose, so I visited apache.org I clicked download and got mirror download links. When I click on any link, I see some ftp page where I see different folders. I'm completely lost and don't know what to download and what not. Can someone give me a lead here please? Is there any all-in-one apache installer package? Any help will be much appreciated. Regards, Andy.
I wouldn't recommend using Xampp, if your planning to learn to configure apache or set up something specific for it your not gonna learn it using Xampp, anyway just go back to apache site and download the windows binary package and run it, its evry specific
