Ok heres the deal. I love PHP and what it has to offer but have no knowledge of how to get started in it. I don't know if anyone here has guides that are detailed enough to step me through installing it successfully on windows 2000/2003 or helping me understand linux enough to get it running there. I am prepared to offer a brand new inbox Pioneer DVR-A05 dvd burner to someone who can step me through the install of PHP-Nuke. At said time I can have windows 2000 server up and running waiting to do whatever it takes. I have all the software (mysql, apache, phpmyadmin, dont have smtp server software but i have exchange 2000) non of the software is setup cause i don't know exactly how it should be configured to work with PHP. So theres the offer. You help me step by step and I will mail you a new in box working and under warranty dvd burner. Send all comments to concanrain@yahoo.com. Thank you in advance.

Umm..ok.
Why not just use this
http://academic.cmri.ac.th/appserv
It installs Apache, MySQL, PHP adn PHP-Nuke6.5 AND phpMyadmin to administer your Database.
VERY EASY to configure and get up adn running on a Windows machine. All you'll have to figure out is the email, but mine uses my Outlook Express (don't ask me how)

Then, if you box has a Static IP with an "always on" internet connetion, you can get yourself you .com domain name and point the name servers to your Static IP addy for your box. VIOLA.
