This is my first post here, so.. Hello, everyone!

Anyway, I managed to install apache2 and php5 without any problems, but when I came to MySql, the installation was so different from the tutorial that I didn't know what to do. I guess the tutorial was for an older version of MySql... I've tried the mysql server instance config wizard a few times, but i can't seem to get it to work... What should I do?

maybe for newbies, it's nice to try apache2triad, found it's so handy to configure. They provide apache2, php5, mySql, phpMyAdmin, phyton, perl, xmail server, slimftpd, and more.. just check it by yourself

Good tutorial!

Just in case people don't know, there are WAMP (an acronym standing for Windows, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) stacks that can be installed as a package:

XAMPP http://www.apachefriends.org/xampp-en.html XAMPP (GPL)
"XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl. XAMPP is really very easy to install and to use - just download, extract and start."
Uniform Server rated this one their highest competition.
They are part of [http://www.apachefriends.org/en/ Apache Friends].

Uniform Server http://www.uniformserver.com/
"The Uniform Server is the pre-packed popular web development software. It is a small WAMP package, and it is also very easy to use and setup. At the moment Uniform Server includes Apache, PHP, Perl, MySQL, PhpMyAdmin, ..."
This is the one that I (matt) have been using for over a year. The most recent version has had a lot of improvements done to it.

I personally prefer using Xampp.
it works really good and it installs without any prob.
I highly recommend using Xampp

Then of course, the almighty WAMP Server themselves...

http://www.wampserver.com/en/index.php

I don't know if they're the original, but I've used this package for all my windows dev boxes. Great and easy install, easy "control panel" in the system tray... Easy config, right from the system tray.

ya, all of these windows servers r best used for web development, when u want to test out all ur latest layouts and scripts.
also mods incase u dont want to make a fatal error on ur database.
