This is a guide about Installing Apache 2.2, PHP 5.3, MySQL 5.1 on Windows Vista. Although setting up Apache, PHP and MySQL on Windows Vista is pretty much the same like setting up Apache, PHP and MySQL on Windows XP, with the only difference there is User Account Control (UAC) in Windows Vista that basically prevent you from writing / editing files inside Program Files directory if you aren’t opening that files you’re going to write / edit with Admin priviledge even if your account is in Administrator group.
But obviously if you want a more simpler way of doing this, then feel free to choose below option:
- Disable User Account Control completely so you there are no restriction for you … or …
- Install Apache, PHP, and MySQL to another directory other than C:\Program Files
But if you prefer to install apache, mysql and php to Program Files directory with UAC enabled, then you can continue reading ;)
As a note, when Vista prompt you whether you want to install / run / allow this program to run, make sure to choose Yes
