Hi Tony
I tried Apache2Triad and had quite a few problens with the installation.
I gave up with apache2triad and also tried xampp instead, this installed
like a dream apache mysql and php FTP.
Within 10 minutes my apache server was up and running.
What is rather interesting when I installed ache2triad no problems were found with zonealarm or AVG.
After an update to the free version of AVG 8.5 and a full scan of my system a virus was found in apache2triad zip file if you do go ahead with this double check with an up to date virus scanner.
The new version of avg is a considerable improvement.
I look forward to your progress with your site.
Regards Gabby
