Want to setup a localhost on my pc. What software would you recommend me to install (package)

Plain and simple. Install PHP and MySQL. Make sure you have IIS capabilities before though of course. If you're looking for a "package" to setup the only "package" that comes to mind is Zend. :2 cents:

Um... APACHE?

Oh ya duh wtf was I thinking lol. Make sure to setup Apache as well.

I mean something like this: http://netserver.hugosoft.net/
Everything combined in 1 package

Ahh well, I guess I'll try that and if it sucks I'll come back :)

Bizzar Server comes to mind... all in one package

edit: spelling

That looks pretty good actually. Good luck with that. :thumbsup

Don't sweat it dude, its already setup. :1orglaugh

lol :1orglaugh .... let me guess :1orglaugh the IP is :1orglaugh 127.0.0.1 :1orglaugh


cute




actually this http://netserver.hugosoft.net/ doesn't look bad at all. since i can't sleep i'm going to try and set it up on an empty box...thanks for the link

Ahh yeah wtf am i thinking lol

still half asleep here :1orglaugh

I wouldn't advise setting up a "packaged" deal. Yet install and config each separately. Apache httpd 2.x, PHP 4.3.x or PHP 5.x depending on your needs and MySQL if you want to work with something requiring a solid database backend.

got that netserver thing working :)

Xampp is a great package. It has Apache, PHP, Mysql, Perl and a bunch of other stuff in a nice and easy installable package. They keep it updated too :)
