Newbie questions...

It's noted that php-cgi.exe is missing from c:\php. Is this OK?

Also, how do I install "extensions"?

jon, as I told u on the mailing list, it is better you install a WAMP software to make sure everything gets loaded fine.

I suggest www.wampserver.com - especially if you want it for testing purposes. I do not suppost you will use this set up for working environment (I always suggest Linxu as OS for hosting, OR else, at least a Server version of Windows).

Extensions can be installed by downloading (normally they would come with the PHP package itself) dll files, and enable them from php.ini file Smile Also in the worst possible scenario, I'd suggest registering them using regsvr32 pathtodll - more info here : http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q249/8/73.asp

What DBMS are you going with? If its Mysql then I guess wampserver is the way to go - it ease alot of things for u Smile

Isn't Xampp a better application, yancho? You get PHP, mySQL, FileZilla and Apache all in one.. Smile Personally, I never used wamp so I could be wrong.

WAMP is almost the same i guess. Main difference is you don't have FileZilla but since it's a stand-alone free application it can be downloaded and installed easily so no problem Smile

still Xampp is good too, just a matter of opinion that's all. I always used WAMP and will continue using it since I find it good Smile

U sure Xampp has Filezilla not fileserver? In any way I prefer this set up on Windows: (FOR TESTING ONLY)

- Apache 2
- PHP 5
- MySQL / PostgreSQL (depends on the scenario)
- Bullett Proof FTP Server
- Filezilla (but on your own host you do not need an FTP client)
