Answer
IIS or Apache ? Definitely Apache since your already doing unsecure things never activate IIS of windows is preferable. When you want to make your local server active for the www we advice you to NOT do that, only use it as test server. Back to top

Install Apache Start with download the following Apache 1.3 packages apache_1.3.29-win32-x86-no_src.exe apache_1.3.29.tar.gz You can also download the Apache 2.x packages but these docs are written for 1.3 Then install apache_1.3.29-win32-x86-no_src.exe After install start Apache and go to your browser and surf to localhost to check if server works Back to top

Apache works now what ? Download the following PHP 4.3.6 (or newer) packages PHP 4.3.6 installer PHP 4.3.6 zip package Install php-4.3.6-installer.exe and don't forget to choose Apache. Ignore the error when the installer says it can't modify Apache. Extract the php4apache.dll from the zip package and copy that into your c:\php directory Back to top

PHP installed but not working in Apache open the httpd.conf from Apache and start editing. find Code: `AddModule mod_setenvif.c` replace with Code: `AddModule mod_setenvif.c LoadModule php4_module c:/php/php4apache.dll` find Code: `<IfModule mod_dir.c> DirectoryIndex index.html index.php </IfModule>` replace with Code: `<IfModule mod_dir.c> DirectoryIndex index.html index.php </IfModule>` find Code: `AddType application/x-tar .tgz` replace with Code: `AddType application/x-tar .tgz AddType application/x-httpd-php .php` Save and close the file. Then open c:\windows\php.ini and read all info in there carefully and modify if needed. for example find Code: `error_reporting = E_ALL; display all errors, warnings and notices` and replace with Code: `;error_reporting = E_ALL; display all errors, warnings and notices error_reporting = E_WARNING & ~E_NOTICE` Don't forget to activate the GD2 extension so the graphics processor works! find Code: `;extension=php_filepro.dll ;extension=php_gd2.dll ;extension=php_gettext.dll` replace with Code: `;extension=php_filepro.dll extension=extensions\php_gd2.dll ;extension=php_gettext.dll` It could be possible you need to extract php_gd2.dll from the zip Back to top

How do i check if PHP works Restart the Apache server if you didn't do that already. Then create a file named index.php into "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs" or if you modified the 'DocumentRoot' in httpd.conf then put it in the new path. And index.php should contain PHP: `<?php phpinfo(); ?>` Go to localhost/index.php and check if it works Back to top

Cool everything works now what ? You need a database !! Download Mysql 4.0.18 installer and execute the installer afterwards. Execute c:\mysql\bin\winmysqladmin.exe to start the service You can use something like MySQL-Front 2.5 to control your databases fast and easy locally mysqlfront.phpsoft.it/hostname: localhost user: root pass: <empty> port: 3306 Back to top

How install DragonflyCMS locally now server works ? Extract cpgnuke package into "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs" or if you modified the 'DocumentRoot' in httpd.conf then put it in the new path. Thru MySQL-Front create a new database named 'dragonfly' or just something else. Modify in your documentroot 'html/config.php' so that PHP: `$dbname = "nuke";` reflects your new databasename. Surf to your browser localhost/html/install.php and if everything is correct it should install DragonflyCMS and you can run it locally to test it out. GOOD LUCK !!!! Back to top
