What is the proper way to install PHP/MySQL as a service? In other words, how does one install these components so they run when a server starts, not necessarily when the admin logs in as though they were applications running in the 'Startup' menu? I always used the installshields and I don't think that installs them as services.
I assume you are talking about in Windows, if so it's installed as a service automatically (atleast for me it was), check your Services in Admin Tools. if ther service is not there start up WinMySQLAdmin, right click on it in the taskbar and under WinNT select Install the Service.
PHP doesn't run as a service, during setup you point the webserver to it and the webserver calls it when needed
Roger that, thanks much. That's all I wanted to know ;)
