Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP ([http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAMP WAMP]) install guide for a Windows 2008 64bit server.

'''Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP ([http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAMP WAMP]) install guide for a Windows 2008 64bit server.'''

For Windows, IIS, MySQL and PHP (WIMP) see http://blogs.iis.net/bills/archive/2006/09/19/How-to-install-PHP-on-IIS7-_2800_RC1_2900_.aspx

Whilst this guide intends to be as generic as possible, it is disingenuous to suggest that you can blindly follow the procedures below, for different versions of the software components than were used here, and expect it all to work. I have included the install package filenames that I used, which normally exactly identifies the variant and version I've used (Microsoft supplied packages are the exception, as they like to keep to guessing). Installing LAMP takes seconds (well minutes), installing WAMP constantly reminds you that you're trying to fit a round peg into a square hole, and that it would probably be quicker and easier to learn Linux (its what made me first tinker with [[:Category:Ubuntu|Ubuntu]]).

There are numerous [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_WAMPs install bundles] that can supposedly do the job for you, they're always a little out of date, and [http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php none are endorsed by PHP]. I'm not saying don't consider them, but just do it in a well thought out way.
