The best way to install Apache, PHP (with PEAR), mySQL, Perl (even
Python!), CVS (with ssh keys!) and SSH is...

web.torres.ws/walters_way

* Takes a little time to set up.
* Takes very little time to back-up
* Take even less time to restore!
* Gives you a real good understanding of how all this fits together
* Gives you virtual hosts
* PHP with PEAR
* Perl with CPAN
* Python, if you care
* command line CVS
* command line ssh/2
* CVS via SH keys to sourcesforge (if you care)
* mySQL
* phpMyAdmin is a drop in after all this
* many scripts and PHP apps (ex: Joomla) are drop ins!

And best of all!
* Nothing!!! in WINDOWS folder
* Nothing!!! in registry!
* and I mean NOTHING!
* OK, maybe if you count the ENV VARS you have to create

This sysem works on all Windows based OS's and Servers from 98 up!
