How do I make some server program run locally (on my pc)

[Johnny|lucidcomposure]

Im using something called slideshowpro director and I do have it installed on my server but how do I go about setting it up on my computer?

It requires these things

Server Requirements

* PHP (4.3.2+, safe mode must be disabled)
* MySQL (3.23.23+)
* Linux/Unix server running Apache 1.3+
- or -
Windows server running IIS 5.0+ or Apache 1.3+


So anyone know how I can make it run locally?

If you have xp pro you can install IIS via the control panel -> add and remove programs -> add / remove windows components.

Php can be downloaded from www.php.net ensure you download php 4.4.x as this has an auto script map for IIS.

MySql can be downloaded from www.mysql.com

Hope that helps.

I do have XP pro but im just an average joe when it comes to this sorta stuff. I honestly have no idea what to do with any of it. Im not even sure it will work.

It will install Apache2 webserver onto your PC along with PHP and Mysql.
You'll end up with a webserver.

Try that or google Xampp - similar thing, will auto install apache, php and mysql (amongst other things)
