Title: How to Install Apache MySQL PHP and phpMyAdmin Author: Nathan Ota nota@kingkong.me.berkeley.edu This file describes the process required to install Apache, MySQL, PHP, and phpMyAdmin on a personal computer. The system was a Sony VGN-A270P with WindowXP with SP2. At the time of installation, no other server software existed on the computer. After the fact, I realized the website also has a tutorial for Apache2, PHP5, MySQL4, and phpMyAdmin. You may wish to use this tutorial as an alternate to the process described in this file.

At the time, 2.2.0 was not available for Windows. • MySQL 5.0.18 o http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html o Important: the desired file is “Window(x86)” and not “Windows Essentials(x86)”. o Note this is an installation zip file. Clicking on this will initiate a selfinstallation procedure. • MySQL PHP Connector o
