Do i need to install mysql ??

[Anon]

I'm planing a WAMP (WIN2K-APACHE-MYSQL-PHP) configuration but having some questions
Which php binary 4.74mb or 755kb?
Do i need to download and install mysql seperatly or mysql is coming with the php binaries?
Apache New VER 2(they say it has better performance with windows 2k) is it stable or i must install 1.3... ?
Thanx in advance.

Get yourself a package like foxserv (www.fox-hunt.net).
That will setup apache, mysql and PHP for you.

Don't worry about performance, W2K doesn't know the word performance anyway.

the php binary found on php.net has 2 configs:

1) bare php with only mysql module installed. this can only be run as a cgi program, meaning more memory. if you're gonna run a non-public php/mysql only server this is recommended.

2) php with all current stable modules installed. has isapi features (loads php into memory) and is good for public servers.

and about mysql no, you have to download it yourself (unless you're using those packages). download it at http://www.mysql.com and install.

as for apache v2 i've not tried it yet but i think if you're willing to risk a bit of stability that v1.3.x offers for performance then go ahead with v2.
