php-5.2.5-Win32.zip

In this part we install our Apache Server.

1. Just click “Next”

2. Accept the agreement then click “Next”

4. Set the “Network Domain” to “localhost”, Change also the “Server Name” to “localhost”, and lastly set your local e-mail address(you can use your real e-mail address). Then click “Next”

5. Select the “Custom”, then click “Next”

Note: Put also, “apache” as a sub-directory.

7. Click “Install”

8. Installing…

9. You’re done.
