i got the apache running, mysql running, php installed all fine, indvidually working fine. i do all the development on my laptop, and i had reformated the and repartitioned the hdd recently and have to get these things working, and flex is a trial. its always a nightmare as apache/mysql/php have to be the same age group else they will misunderstand each other with somebody throwing up.
still getting these together.
For your reference:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phphome
well actually i forgot to add one little bit, the application(s) that i have must run and certain php commands such as mysql_pconnect dont like certain version of php and apache and mysql.
