Hi,

I have just installed, PHP, Apache, on my WinXP Pro machine. I then went to install MySQL 4.1.7, which appeared to go well...Apart from when I got to execute, and the services wouldn't start...so looking on this forum I followed someone’s solution. I re installed...services started when i selected execute...

But when I went into MySQL folder and opened up winmysqladmin, right clicked on the traffic light in my toolbar, the light was red, and selected start NT, and start services...the response I got was unable to start try again in 30 seconds...

I then went back to reconfigure, and once again i got to execute, and services wouldn’t start...

Don’t know if this has anything to do with it, but in the books and help pages I have got, they all mention a log on page, to enter username and password, I have not seen this.

Can anyone help? I am very confused by all this; I just want to learn PHP for some database web design....

heres what i think, im pretty sure that you need to directly be connected to a server/database. Then you need to install those programs on the server

Not neccessarily, you can install MySQL and PHP on a home computer you just need to know how.

PHPTriad is a very simple one click program that installs PHPMyAdmin, Winmysqladmin, MySQL, PHP and Apache all at once and configures them to work together.
