Hi,
I just noted in the download of Dupont's Practical Prototype and script.aculo.us that XAmpp is recommended as a test environment for his code examples.
So, I downloaded/installed XAmpp, where MySQL could could not be started because I already had MySQL installed as a service. I uninstalled my version using WinXP's add/remove pgm. Then I used XAmpp's Control Panel to start the new MySQL.
It doesn't seem I need any more info on XAmpp; if I do, where should I look?
I've used MySQL a lot, so I'm OK there.
I've used a couple of of local webservers, e.g. Mongrel, but I sense that Apache is a whole separate beast, so I'd appreciate suggestions about the best way to come up to speed with it. I expect responses from this newsgroup would be much better than the mechanical responses I'd get in a Google search. But if I don't have any luck here, Google will still be my friend
I don't expect to use PHP at all because I'm a Rubyist, but if PHP plays some important role in this package, I'd like to know about it.
Thanks in Advance for any advice you may offer,
Richard
