Installing Apache, MySQL, and PHP with David Gassner describes how to install
and perform the initial configuration of Apache, MySQL, and PHP, known as the
AMP stack, on a local development computer. Chapters are devoted to multiple
installation approaches: installing the components separately on both Windows
and Mac, installing the pre-packaged Apache and MySQL distributions in WampServer
on Windows and MAMP on Mac, and installing the cross-platform XAMPP on both Mac
and Windows. Exercise files are included with the course.

Topics include:

* Performing Apache, PHP, and MySQL as separate installs
* Setting the MySQL root user password
* Installing WampServer
* Changing PHP versions with WampServer add-ons
* Installing MAMP
* Configuring Apache and MySQL server ports
* Installing Xampp for Windows and Mac
