>There exists an application that installs PHP + MySQL + Apache in a simple and fast way, configuring your operating system to emulate a local Web server. This is very useful, as it allows us to experiment with PHP-Nuke and our modifications locally. </P

>, has reached version 3.0, but I recommend using version 2.0 which is much easier to use.</P
><P
>The installation is very simple, it is enough to launch the FoxServ-2.0core.exe file, proceed with the installation inserting any data (nothing is needed besides user and password of the DB) and then start using it!</P
><P
>When launching the foxserv control panel, you will have to activate apache and mysql, type in your browser the address http://localhost/and the web page will appear as if it were on any Internet server.</P
><P
>Suppose that you have installed everything in c:\foxserv. The PHP folders have to be inserted under the folder www. For example if we want to insert a nuke56 installation, we create the folder c:\foxserv\www\nuke56\ and load there all the content of the HTML folder of our PHP-Nuke (in the config.php of PHP-Nuke we will leave &quot;localhost&quot; as our host, &quot;root&quot; as user and nothing as password).</P
><P
>In order to reach PHPMyAdmin (even this is preinstalled), the address will be http://localhost/phpmyadmin/.</P
