okay,thanks to the devils at microsoft who simply must make the average comsumer's life a living hell, XP home edition, unlike NT or 2K, does not come with IIS or PWS. Nor do they allow you to install anything that wasnt specifically made for XP, such as NT4 SPK or 2k addons which come with PWS. So, I'm forced to learn apache. I installed mysql, I installed apache, I searched the forums on this site but they dont tell me much. Now for me to install PHP4 on apache, what do I do? My php4 book says I need to make a line in loadmodules for php4, but it doesnt say where and the config file says order is important, my book then says nothing more of the matter.
