Hey, is Appserv compatible with Windows 98 SE? Because I plan to use my old Win98 comp as the server, instead of screwing around with my main WinXP desktop.i run two Arch LAMP servers. its not difficult to set up a lightweight linux/apache/mysql/php/openssh server and access it remotely on windows w/ putty. send me a pm if you're interested in instructions.
Hey, I installed Appserv on my Win98 comp, apache seems to work fine, but mysql doesn't seem to work. I logged in to phpmyadmin, and they wrote there unable to connect to server...
Wamp server is very nice and convenient. You could also try xampp, but that doesn't have mod_rewrite or something enabled by default, so I switched.
hello try xampp at www.apachefriends.org... it is a complete serverside for lamp hope it can help it.. it will give you the latest for php version and for mysql latest version.

Apache2triad is very good, it has all u need for a server including mail!
Is very simple to install, is very secure and it has a good feedback on ur problems....it is freeware allso
u can find answers on install problems in here http://apache2triad.net/faq.php XAMPP!!! it is great. Windows or Linux. It installs and configs everything for you. Comes with the following:
Apache
PHP + PEAR
PERL
MySQL
mod_php
mod_perl
mod_ssl
OpenSSL
phpMyAdmin
Webalizer
Mercury Mail Transport System
Netware System

FileZilla FTP Server

WEB-DAV + mod_auth_mysql
I use this and love it. Works perfect for me!
here is a link to their website
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html Why dont better use Uniform Server
is the best one i have tried
http://www.uniformserver.com The end all be all of the server combo packages is http://www.apache2triad.net/.
it has everything you could want in a server and some optional stuff on top of that. Starts you with Email, PHP, MySQL, Perl, Python, FTP, and a hundred other little tweaks.
Has a nice web based command center to change your settings as well. It is not so hard to instal Apache yourself and configure it to work with PHP. It is 5 click Apache instalation, 6 click php instalation and 3 lines copy and paste of configuration 
and you will not have many waste with it like

that you exactly don't want
I use this command to satisfy that
# USE="apache2" emerge php
and it was. No configuration. Everything done. I like my Gentoo.
There are variety of ready to install packages available for you to install...
I recommend Apache2triad for its features..
And Wamp/Xamp for their neatness..
Dont take risks.. Install manually!!!
I would have to say I agree with JayBee

this is true its so easy to install I dont know why people bother using other tools.
the advantage is if you go further down the line of servers etc etc a good solid standard instalation is allot more flexible.
cheers I use Arch Linux (http://archlinux.org), Apache, MySQL, PHP. Works like a charm. Go LAMP!!
