If anyone is having problems installing WAMP server on their computer, I know I did. Here is a good tutorial which shows you how.

Just follow the instructions exactly and you should be able to install it:

    Depending on your goals, you might not have to use WAMP. PHP, MySQL, WordPress, and mod-rewrite can all operate natively on Windows/IIS. Mod-rewrite functionality is provided by installing one of several ISAPI modules available for a reasonable price. When installing PHP, use the zip files and not the Windows installer version.

      Get the install from apachefriends.org

      It as simple as installing any standard windows app..
      It will install:
      • Apache
      • mySQL
      • PHP

      It works a dream, if you want to do development, but don't use it in a production environment.

      Hope this helps

        Another option to consider is Zend's Zend Server CE (community edition). Zend recently revamped their server line, and much of what they used to charge for is now free. The server install will install and configure PHP and MySQL. It will install Apache if needed, or if you're running on Windows, will integrate with IIS if it's already installed. It works the same on Windows/Linux/Mac and comes with its own basic control panel to control PHP. There's nothing to manage vhosts and stuff like that - you'll still need another control panel for all that good stuff.

        Finally, php dot iis dot net has instructions on setting up IIS and PHP together if you're on Windows. Once that's set up they've got a Web App Gallery with one-click installs of many popular PHP apps. (Sorry, I still can't post links just yet!)
