The Secret of Installing PHP4 and MySQL under Windows 2000_PHP Tutorial

My php4 and mysql software packages are php-4.0.1pl2-Win32.zip, mysql-3.23.19-beta-win.zip.
Install mysql first, open the software package with winzip8.0 for complete installation, the default installation path is: c:mysql;
After the installation is completed, open "Run" in the "Start" button and enter the command: C: mysql inmysqld-nt.exe --install, and execute;
Open "Programs" under the "Start" button => "Management Tools" => "Services", find the "mysql" service, and start it;
At this point, the mysql installation is completed, restart win2000adanced server. You can also open C:mysql inwinmysqladmin.exe. When you use it for the first time, you need to create an administrator name and password. I set them to root and (yourpassword) respectively. After closing it, the program automatically creates a small "traffic light" icon under the status line.
Now start installing php4. Use winzip to unzip the software package to c:php4, then copy all the dll files in the directory to c:winntsystem32. Do not overwrite the existing dll files; then copy php in the directory Copy the two files .exe and php.ini-dist to c:winnt;
Rename c:winntphp.ini-dist to php.ini, open it and find; Windows Extensions, change extension=php_calendar.dll , extension=php_zlib.dll, extension=php_ldap.dll remove the ";" and close the file.
Open "Programs" under the "Start" button => "Administrative Tools" => "Internet Service Manager", select "Default web site", and open its "Properties" window. Under the "website" page, change "IP Address": "All Unallocated" to "(your machine's IP address, for example: 202.195.243.131)"; "TCP Port" to "80".
Next, select the "Home Directory" page, click the "Configure" button under "Application Settings", click the "Add" button in the new window; enter "C:WINNTphp" in "Executable File" .exe %s %s", enter ".php" in "Extension", and click "OK".

Next, select the "ISAPI Filter" page and click the "Add" button; enter "php" in the "Filter Name" and "C:WINNTsystem32php4isapi.dll" in the "Executable File" , click "OK".
Next, select the "Document" page, click the "Add" button; enter "index.php" in the "Default Document Name", click "OK", and raise it to the highest level. You can also add commonly used PHP file names, such as: "default.phtml", "index.php3", etc.
Close all windows, restart the system, and then open the IE browser for testing.
