when trying to run apache, are you clicking through explorer ie c:\program files\easyphp ect? Or are you using the start menu?

I had a few problems getting mine to work with xp. Try reinstalling the program. It worked for me. Hopefully it will work for you.

Also, try looking at your apache log files they can be found at(as long as you did not move the directory at installation

Program Files\EasyPHP\apache\logs

I thought easyPHP was going to be easy but I had some problems myself.

So I installed them individually. Much easier and there are lots of tutorials around there that explain on how to do it.

If you cant get the apache/php/mysql to work using the easyphp icon... try this:

create a ".bat" file called run, right-click->edit

enter this:

cd apache
START apache.exe
NET START apache
cd ..
cd mysql\bin
start mysqld-nt.exe -a

then to stop the server and mysql, create a ".bat" file called "run",

Enter this:

cd apache
START apache -k stop
cd ..
cd mysql\bin
START mysqladmin.exe -u root shutdown

Then place both of them in your Easyphp main directory....

all you have to do then is create shortcuts to them 😃

if you dont know how to create .bat files and edit them i have included them as an attachment... 😉
