Hint: When asking for help, provide every bit of useful information. We
might have experience moving foobar.ini.distrib to foobar.ini, or we may
know that xyz123.ini gives some problems

Whatever.

And by "whatever", I mean "any plain text editor you like". Notepad if you
haven't got anything better, visual studio if you know how to set it up. I
currently work with Kate/Kdevelop in Linux, but if you use windoze, you
might like Ultraedit or Textpad.

Welcome to the real world.


As denis already said, you can use xammp to set "everything" up, with a
neat-o idiot-proof installer. I also know about people who like WAMP to do
the job.

Anyway, setting up and testing every component separately will give you a
taste of how the different parts (webserver, database, PHP) work with each
other. Do not think that WAMP/XAMMP is a magical bunhc of software that
works magically; Apache is one thing, MySQL is another thing, and PHP is
another thing, so they are administered separately.


Hope that helps,
