    I messed up big time I was trying to update mysql didn't go to well passwords all get messed up so tried to uninstall it worked to some point but was unable to reinstall it "it still detects the old version", I also tried to update the php to the latest version thinking this maybe a factor and that messed up.

    I need a tutorial on installing them all from the start php, apache, perl, mysql etc. I don't want to use wamp or any other quick solutions as upgrading and adding extensions becomes a problem.

    Anyone know of a site with a full tutorial?

    no I set it up using my home pc, I had apache, mysql, pyton, php set up, It was set up in a way that http://localhost showed all the scripts. I've un-installed everything but still stuck with mysql services running I can not remove them.

    Maybe try calling a hosting service like Hostgator and ask them. It would be an easy fix with Cpanel.

    I would recommend transferring your site to a host like hostgator for a month or 2 and see if they can fix it for you and if you want just cancel and move it back to your HomePC.

    Do that but before you do it, move the mysql directories to something like mysql.backup before hand.

    open the Services menu (still, inside the msconfig),
    untick the mysqld services and then reboot
