I think i'm probably at the wrong forums all together, but i'm sure you guys can help

I've been meaning to setup a website on my computer again. I have calbe so its a static IP

i remember I downloaded three three programs but i can't remember exactly what they were or where I got them

1.)I think i had a sql database: mysql I think

2.)Then i think i had php but where can i get that for free?

3.) finally i think i had some kinda of board program using the sql database bbforums or something


Finally, I think i found out latter that all three are available in one download that preconfigures everything (configuring the stuff was a real pain in the butt)

if anyone can help thanks

    Try this?
    http://www.easyphp.org/

    That SHOULD be the website, I honestly havent' tried it, but my Advanced Web Design class Lecturer told us it's great. From what I oculd see that looks like the same site he told us about, it has a downloadable file that includes everything you need.

    Also, there is phpBB and Invision Power Boards, I like them both, but I preferr phpBB....

    ditto... it is v easy and gives you php,, apache and mysql... all the basic things you need for a great website.. plus use a dynamic/static dns service so you can give people an easy address to remeber.. http://www.dyndns.org/services/statdns/ as a quick example
