First time Managing own server....

[WizyWyg]

Well, Im trying to understand how to do everything on a server, looking to host my own site and all.

I currently have Windows 2000 Advanced Server installed, and need to add on other services so that I can run my website from this machine.

anyway, does anyone have experience in installing MySQL and PHP on this Server and if so, can give a nice, clean step by step on how to install both?

I've been to both mysql.com and php.net to grab the current software but their installation instructions just bites the dust, and would rather have someone who is familiar with the Server to lend me a hand in installing both.

TIA
Dani

Have you read the install.txt (

http://cvs.php.net/co.php/php4/win32/install.txt)

for Windows from the php.net yet? I think it is as explicit as anyone is bound to get.
