Instead of going thru all of the hassles, just get XAMPP http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html Quick, easy, and you won't have the issues most people have when installing a dev environment on Windoze. One drawback: It doesn't have ASP. Personally, if you want a local server environment and you just absolutely must have Windoze, dual boot XP for ASP and use Linux for everything else. I use Ubuntu Desktop(Kubuntu) and setting up a dev server took 10 minutes. --- In php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, srihari R <srihari_compking@...> wrote: > > Hi to everybody, > I am Srihar from India, I want to setup a localserver environment in my desktop (OS : Win XP)so that i could use ASP.Net , PHP , Ajax ,Mysql and SQL server in that local host. > I want to know wat are the things i should download? and from where it to be download? > If you have any idea or a simple tool for it sent it to me.I am availbale at sriharishine@... . > > Thanks and Regards > > > --------------------------------- > Unlimited freedom, unlimited storage.
