PHP/MySQL package for home

[YigiM]

Hi,

I want to use php/mysql at home to make a website. What's the recommended (easy to install/use) package or configuration? Or is it better to download each one separately (apache, mysql, php)? is it tricky to get it working then?

(I'm trying to get XAMPP (

http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html)

to work and it's not ;o(

I just installed the httpd, php and mysql packages for my Fedora distribution and it all works.

Here is a link that has a one-click setup with excellent documentation for apache, PHP and mySQL, for your own home based web server.

I think there is some problem with localhost.
In Firefox it's asking me for username/password, and in IE it open up the IIS welcome page. But it's supposed to open Apache page. Why does localhost refer to the IIS (on Win XP Pro)? How can I make it refer to Apache?

Thanks
