Apache, MySQL & PHP

[stuarttunstall]

Not sure if anyone can help, :confused: I purchase a book to get a better insight into the above 3. When I install Apache on a Windows ME or XP system, and set it as Localdomain & localhost, it should create a server named "apache2". But it just says no services installed:confused: anyone have any idea how I can get these to work? As far as I can see, PHP and MySQL have installed OK.

After I have installed Apache, I start my browser, and type in http://localhost/ and get an error message.

Thanks

Apache will not work as no services are installed, which should, acording to the instructions have been done automatically.
