Install the latest Apache+PHP+MySQL guide under Vista

                  I recently started using the PHP program, configured a new machine, and moved the development environment to Windows Vista. So I installed the apache + mysql + php web development platform under Vista. I have encountered some situations when installing under Vista. I have been searching online for a long time. There are not many articles about Vista installation, most of which are written for Windows 2000/XP/2003. So I sorted out this article. This article is also suitable for XP/2003, not limited to Vista, some system parts can be modified according to the system situation, but it does not affect the entire environment system.

   • Installation directory structure planning
     
     In order to facilitate maintenance, As well as reinstalling the system, it is not necessary to install it twice. It is not recommended to install it on the system disk (the default is C disk). For example, I installed it on the D disk. It is also best not to include spaces and Chinese characters in the installation path.
     
     My directory structure is planned as follows:
     

     <D:\\>
