Hi,

when I started with Apache and later with PHP I went through the same 
problems....but didn't know of NYHP. I use XAMPP from apachefriends.org 
for development, testing, and also as production server. I never had a 
problem with installation or security. Apachefriend's XAMPP is really a 
nice package and darn easy to install on either Windope or Linux.

Since then I never had a problem and now even EngInSite PHP Editor works 
with Apachefriend's XAMPP. It can't get any better!!!

    I really recommend to just download the XAMPP and start with 
PHP....unless you really do want to get through all the manual 
configuration. I recommend to reserve that for a later point.
