I've installed IIS on my WinXP machine. I need to find a copy of MySQL to download and install - any recommendations?

Is there anything else I need?

I want to demo my forums offline which is why I am wanting to do this.

Thanks

You mean running on your localhost?

I think you will need Apache, MySQL and Xampp.
I can get you the downloads.


Xampp (Apache) - http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html#641
MySQL Connector -http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/5.1.html#win32

You didn't really need to install IIS on your XP - XAMPP (and WAMPP) can install Apache, PHP, mySQL and a bunch of other useful things at once.

Check out the comparison...

Thanks for that. I tried WAMPP and it worked like a dream. It took a bit of guessing in places but the forum is now mirrored locally. Just got to figure out how to get those cookies working to log in...
