Start by getting yourself a copy of Apache’s HTTP Server 2.0.x by clicking here. At the time of this writing, the latest version from the 2.0.x series is Apache 2.0.63 with OpenSSL 0.9.7 (msi file).

Execute the .MSI file in order to launch the installation. Hit the “Next” button until you see this screen and fill in the information as below (except for the email address of course!):

On the next screen, select the custom installation type and hit next once again. Next select the installation path for Apache’s HTTP server. I prefer using C:\ since the installer will automatically create a folder named “Apache2″ anyway (this isn’t true for Apache 2.2.x though). Leave all other default settings.

Click the Next button and then the Install button. Go get a coffee, this could take a few minutes.
Once the installation is completed, click the Finish button.
Now open your web browser to http://127.0.0.1 and if everything went correctly you should see this page:

Once the download is complete, follow this procedure:

1. Extract the content from the MySQL zip file and launch Setup.exe.
2. Choose the Custom setup type and click Next.
3. Select MySQL Server at the top of the list and click on the Change button to modify the server’s installation path. Set it to c:\MySQL (or on any drive you want as long as you install it at the root).
