WinLAMP 4.0.0 installer
Yes, it is true there are now about
a dozen
LAMP installers out there;
each one has slight variations on what and how it installs.
Back in the early days, before there were lots of installers,
we built an NSIS
installer to make our installations easier, and
decided to make it available here for you to download. From time to
time we upgrade it.
It is available as is: no warranties implied. It works on Win2K and above.
It will not work on Windows 9x. The installer's
license is the same as the Apache license.
(Here is the WinLAMP license).
If you have questions or comments, please visit the
WinLAMP forums.
WinLAMP 4.0.0 installs Apache 2.0.58, PHP 5.1.4, and MySQL 5.0.22.
If you simply need to install Apache and PHP, download the Mini
version of WinLAMP. It is an 11MB file. It installs Apache 2.0.58 and PHP 5.14,
and nothing else.
If, however, you want the classic Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl, and GUI
options as described below, download the full version.
It is 60MB, and includes documentation options.
WinLAMP installs the most commonly used options into your
Start Menu, so you can start and stop your services easily,
or quickly edit your Apache, PHP, and MySQL configuration files
in notepad.
WinLAMP installs both Apache and MySQL as services running quietly
in the background. Use the Start Menu options (see image above) to
control these services.
This installer uses version 2.0.58. It prefers to be installed
in a directory named Apache2. WinLAMP prefers to install this
in your root directory: C:/Apache2, but you can put it anywhere.
Visit http://httpd.apache.org/ for
more information on Apache.
This installer uses version 5.0.22. Back in the old days, WinLAMP
installed and configured MySQL for you, but MySQL has finally
created their own installer.
So WinLAMP simply automatically starts the MySQL installer during
its installation. It also loads a browser window with tips on
MySQL installation.

more information on MySQL.
This installer uses version 5.1.4 of PHP; it is installed as an
Apache module.
Visit http://www.php.net/ for
more information on PHP.
This installer uses version 5.8 of Perl from Active State. It does
not install Perl, only the Perl installer: it drops the installer
onto your desktop, and allows you to go from there. You need to have
the latest Service Pack on your system to install it.

or http://www.perl.com/ for
more information on Perl.
This installer (optionally) drops the latest installer for this
graphical interface to MySQL onto your desktop.

There are plenty of other GUIs available:

This installer uses version 2.8.1 of phpMyAdmin, installed one level
above your htdocs directory for security. This may be all you need to
navigate through MySQL, so that is why WinLAMP installs it by default.

for more information on phpMyAdmin.
