You don't need to worry about anything. Stick MySQL, PHP and Apache on there. Add something like this in your httpd.conf file: ScriptAlias /php/ "f:/z/php4/" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe" Voila! Of course, you'll have to use your paths, not my paths. > - Will sessions work with the cgi version of php4 ? Should. You'll just need to set the temporary directory properly, probalby in the php.ini file. But, don't take my word, I haven't used sessions in PHP.
