I just want to share my experience in installing all of this stuff to my PC.
- download and install Apache 2.0.40. Try to get MSI package, than you will not edit any config files on this stage.
link http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/
Test web server.
- download and install PHP 4.3.0 dev because PHP 4.2.3 DOES NOT work with Apache 2.0.40 as a module php4apache2.dll,
only as CGI binary!
Save your time!

Test PHP by watching phpinfo().
- uncomment in php.ini string with php_gd.dll. Make sure also that in php.ini you have a proper path for extension_dir. Under the path you mentioned in extension_dir you have to check whether you have php_gd.dll
you can get php_gd.dll either from http://www.php4win.de/ or http://php.weblogs.com/php_gd what is actually the same
if you receive the mistake that php_gd.dll can not be loaded try to put libsasl.dll into the same folder where php.exe is located.
- everything should be allright now. everybody is happy
ps if not, be sure to read http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php
very helpful as this forum actually it self.
