Thanks, I'm on xp - followed your directions and it all worked perfectly despite knowing zero about Apache, MySQL and Php.

Forget the post.. it was an error on my pc..

you could do this but then you can always get a server with PHP, MySQL& perl preinstalled
http://bandit.myftp.org/gts
its called Fireserv...i use it...

i think it's pretty much useless to keep mentioning software that will do it for you. this thread is to tell users how, and provide support if it doesnt work.

Thanks Emma. :)

Btw Floren - remember sometime ago we trivialised on msn on how to get this working on my machine. It was to do with a proxy in internet explorer and my firewall. I actually installed apache2, php + mysql on my laptop the other week :)

THis might be the wrong place for this but we will see i followed you instructions and I think got everything setup right with apache, php, and Mysql. But then when I try to install forum i get errors

Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in C:\Network\Apache2\htdocs\forum\includes\db_mysql. php on line 333

Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in C:\Network\Apache2\htdocs\forum\includes\db_mysql. php on line 334

Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in C:\Network\Apache2\htdocs\forum\includes\db_mysql. php on line 133

I pretty sure i got config file set up right

$servername = '192.168.1.100'; <<< also tried local host
$dbusername = 'root';
$dbpassword = 'password';
$dbname = 'vbulletin';

Now the ? is what am i doing wrong
