    I have a computer with windows Server 2003 enterprise edition 64 bit and I took the challenge to install the magnificent 3 on it (Apache-PHP-MySql). For anyone interested ,here is described what I've done in few steps. Actually,there isn't much difference between the installation of Apache-PHP-MySql on win 32 and this one on  64bit

    I read few articles on the net, saying that it was not possible to install Apache win 32 and PHP 5.2.6  on windows 64,well,it was definitely possible on my computer and without any issue  of abnormal usage of ram or CPU.

     Software you need as pre-requisites :
    For this tutorial I used apache_2.2.8-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi  that you find at http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/
    again PHP 5.2.6 zip package available at http://www.php.net/downloads.php
    Also  mysql-5.0.67-winx64  available at MySql website
    You can download All the software  for  free .Please make sure to get the versions  mentioned above, so the final result will be positive 100%.

    Steps to install Apache  

    1. Log on as Administrator
    2. Make sure to unistall any previous installation of Apache,.Go to Control Panel > Programs,Click on Apache and run the unistaller,then go to program Files and delete the Apache Foundation folder.
    3. Then check for any other service on your computer,using port 80 (i.e. IIS) and stop them.(to stop Windows  Service go here Stop_Service.html .Turn Windows Firewall off during installation.
    4.  Open Windows Explorer and browse to the folder where you  downloaded the Apache package earlier and double click on the icon.The installation wizard should begin its job.

    5.  Click next on any window,when you get to fig 1 above type localhost as domain name and server name any email address in Administrator Email ,make sure for All Users on port 80 is checked and click next

    6. Then,when you prompted with the installation directory ,change it to C:\webserver and click next

       



    7.  When the installation ends, reboot your computer. when it's running again you should see an icon like the one in the figure above,in the low right corner of the screen.

    8. InOpen your browser and type http://localhost in the address bar.If the installation went fine you should see IT WORKS on your screen.If you don't,just review all the steps and make sure you followed all the instructions.
