As a Windows person I am going to install PHP 5, Apache 2, MySQL 5 and phpMyAdmin and this makes the acronym of WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP). The other acronym is LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) which won’t be covered here.

Install Apache

Firstly go here http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi and download the latest version, I am downloading 2.2.15 but you can download the newest that there is for you.

Download the Windows binary.

Click Next

wamp install

Wait for to finish installing.

Then goto http://localhost and if you see this

Then, guess what, it works.
