Hmm, I don't think you are in the right place for asking this. But I'll try to help.
First, I always start from the newest versions of "AMP".
AMP are easy to install standalone. But always use easy maps: C:\PHP\ and C:\apache\ and C:\mySQL (and C:\mySQLdata) this is much easier later. Use as web: c:\www\
Only use the msi install file of PHP and also download the zip.
At the php install, you can automatic edit the httpd.conf file.
It will add:
Code: Selecteer alles
PHPIniDir "C:\PHP\"
LoadModule php5_module "C:\PHP\php5apache2_2.dll"
After installing php open the zip file, and extract the dir "ext" and php5apache2_2.dll in the php dir.
Copy libmysql.dll from c:\php to C:\windows\system32
Now you need to edit the php.ini
Extension_dir = "C:/PHP/ext"
delete ";" before extension = php_mbstring.dll -- extension = php_mysqld.dll -- extension = php_mysqli.dll
(you also need to edit php.ini to use sessions and cookies)
Normally they will work now and you can install phpBB2 (and 3)
