I have a serious backlog of months at the moment, so I'm going to make this one big. Four months.

This will not be easy however, and it'll also be incredibly tedious.

You must set up a WAMP. You may think wow, this sounds easy! Think again. Firstly, you must do it manually. Secondly it must be on windows. Thirdly the M doesn't stand for MySQL.. I hate you quite a bit so you have to use MSSQL instead. Also they have to be installed as services for verification reasons.

For an entry to be valid I need the following;

Screenshot of apache Config file as well as directory path
Screenshot of your services panel
Screenshot of PHP test page

For those who do not know, WAMP is an installation of (Normally) Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP. In this instance I am asking you to use MSSQL instead of MySQL.

Lucky 13 ;)

You said manually, I'll assume that meant installing PHP + Apache separately rather than compiling them and all that jazz ;)

MsSQL, you horrible man... none-the-less, here we go.

I'm surprised you did not develop an aneurysm from the mssql, nevertheless what colour would thou like?

You probably wouldn't have been so fast if I'd gone for MAMP instead...
