Well now that I have my server running, I need to get a few things working on it. How would I get FTP, PHP and MYSQL working on a server running Windows XP with Apache web server? The address is http://216.232.188.11:8080/

For FTP I would recommend running the server version of FileZilla (google for it - I think it's on sourceforge).

For PHP - you can get this from php.net

For MySQL - get this from the mySQL website.

As you already have Apache running on your localmachine, it should be easy to setup the rest.  Just reply if you've got any trouble - the instructions that come with the individual packages are usually pretty clear.

I use:

FTP: Serv-U ( http://www.serv-u.com/ )
PHP: ( www.php.net )
MySQL: ( www.mysql.com )

PHP and MySQL are free and can run with Apache on Windows XP (i have it set up like that). Serv-U personal edition is free, for more you should pay. Read the manuals of PHP and MySQL to set everything uo right.

WEll for php and MySql, it doesn't support Apache for direct install so u have to manually configure

but thanks for the FTP sites

Lol, you have alot to learn my friend . Welcome to the world of servers. Setting it up isn't hard at all though, just take your time to read the readme/manual... it's how server software works. Guess you never used a unix/linux box either? No offence btw.

lol, I know all about unix/linux, but for some of my server applications to work I need it running windows. I don't know PHP and this is my first time setting up a server so ....lol

its coming, not comming

Anyway, cool image on http://216.232.188.11:8080/... I'm tempted to edit out the text and use it as wallpaper.

well there is easy php its like L.A.M.P for linux but easy php is for windows it sets up apache ,php and mysql.
i use it on my personal server and it took me less than 10 min to set it all up
