IIS, PHP/MYSQL

message from pullover on 20 Jul 2004

hi,

I'm trying to set up a testing server on window xp.

i have installed MS IIS.
i have also downloaded php5 and mysql 5.
I then open up IIS and click on home directory.
Under configuration tab and mapping, i added the following:

Executable: C:\php\php5isapi.dll and extention: .php
Extension: .php
selected all verbs
checked script engine
checked check that file exits

I added another exact mapping but with extension: .phtml

Is this the right set up?

For MySQL, i typed the following in Notepad:

[mysqld]
basedir=c:/mysql
datadir=c:/mysql/data

how can i save this to my.ini in notepad?
another save option in notepad, i do not have option to save it with .ini
extension.
so i saved it to txt file in c:\windows

under command prompt, i did the following:
typed cd\mysql\bin

how can i set mysql server in standaline mode?
i tried typing mysql -standalone but it gave me an error message.

sorry for being so blur as i'm technically incompetent.

thanks
