Hello peeps, thanks for looking!

I've installed the server OK
I've installed PHP (Installer for Windows) OK
I can install MySQL and get into phpMyAdmin, OK
I get the GREEN light on MySQL but only until I reboot my machine, then when it boots back up, it only gives me the RED light on MySQL and makes my PC VERY VERY SLOW!

This is my first problem...

My second problem is this...

I also need to install cURL, I mean I have unzipped it, but where do I put curl folder? in c:\curl?
in c:\server\htdocs ?
in c:\php ?

I'm lost!

Once I've got curl in the right place, the install script im trying to set up says that "Curl must be complied with PHP" ...??? What does all this mean, and how do I go about doing this?

I've spent 2 weeks trying to sort this out, and have drawn a complete blank.... does anyone here know where I could get some expert help in fixing my problems?

Thank you so much everyone :o)

Question 1: Kill all MySQL processes, and then re-open them. If that doesn't work, then reinstall.

Question 2: cURL is an independent application that has nothing to do with Abyss. Download the compiled Win32 binary, and run it.

This means that you must use the curl PHP extension (and not the standalone executable.) This extension is ready for use and available in the Zipped Windows binary package of PHP (and not available in the Windows installer version which contains only some widely used extensions only.)

To install it, download the Zipped binary packge, open it and copy the file php_curl.dll in your extensions sub-directory (inside your already installed PHP directory.) Create this subdirectory if it does not exist yet.

Next, open your php.ini file and locate the line starting with extension_dir =

and set it (if empty) to the full path of your extensions subdirectory. Scroll down and locate the line:

Code:
;extension=php_curl.dll


and uncomment it (remove the leading ; symbol). Save php.ini and retry your script.
