I have a complete, fairly straight forward outline how to install mySQL,
PHP, Perl and Apache 2 on a Win2k box.
http://torres.ws/dev/php/
It is not the standard "installer" method.
When complete, this gives you (nearly) the same file structure as a
Linux box.
I hope this helps. Please let me know either way, I'm trying to improve
this procedure.
