Do, if you know how, and if you know how please tell me! I&#8217;ve used XAMP in the past and it was fine until I tried to add SVN to the mix.

Those of you interested in the great Windows versus UNIX debate can find literally<br \/>\nthousands of great pages of well&ndash;spoken denizens of <em>Slashdot<\/em>&hellip;<br \/>\nIt is, however, worth our making the following bold statement: &#8220;Windows is bad at being an Internet application server, just as UNIX is bad at being a workstation<br \/>\noperating system.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/blokquote><\/p>\n<p>\nThey said it, not me. In fairness, this book is devoted to PHP5 and not ASP.NET 2.0 or 3.0 or whatever they are selling in hotel conference rooms. So, I&#8217;ve tried and<br \/>\nfailed to get this thing installed properly because of some trailing slash or another and I&#8217;m admitting defeat. It is very nice to have a Windows box around<br \/>\nfor testing; but, it&#8217;s time for me to install some Linux or another to handle my meager hosting needs.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOf course, I am still pissed that I can&#8217;t figure out where I&#8217;ve gone wrong. I&#8217;m probably going to stay up another hour or eight trying to get it to work. Lord help me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well.
