[thelist] Local server choices

[jsWalter]

Personally, I can't stand installers.

I don't like where they place things, I don't like registry settings all
over the place.

I have a complete documentation on how I installed Apache, Perl, mod_perl,
mySQL and PHP on my NT and 2k machines.

No use of installers, easy to do, and even easier to recover!

In fact, when I added new server to my (growing) farm, all I did was copy by
G: volume to the new machine, add some ENV vars, insert the services and I
was done!

Couldn't be simpler!

If your interested...

   web.torres.ws/dev/php

If you decide to try this, please let me know how it goes on your XP. I'd
like to know if it works as easy.

If you do try and have trouble, drop me a line and I'll help as I can.

Walter
