First, I suggest uninstalling Apache, MySQL, and PHP, and then doing
this:

Install Apache version 2.0.x
Install MySQL Client 5.0
Install PHP 4.x

Then, open php.ini. Search for the line that says:
[Mail Function]

Under that, cange SMTP to your SMTP server, and sendmail_from to your
email address.

Now, open Apache's httpd.conf file. Search for the line that says:
#LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

Under that, add the following:
LoadModule php_4 "c:/php/php4apache2.dll"
change php/ to the root PHP directory

Now search for
AddType application/x-gzip .gz .tgz

Under that, add this line:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml

Then Apache, php, and MySQL *should* work.
