 * I am setting up WordPress on my Windows XP Pro server. This is not a server hosted
   elsewhere, but it is a box that I own and control. I have Apache 2.2.3 running
   successfully with PHP 5.1.6. I have installed MySQL 5.0.26, don’t really know
   if it is working since I am a DB novice. WordPress certainly doesn’t think I 
   have MySQL installed, but maybe that’s because I haven’t created a database or
   set the path right.
 * Is there a resource for setting up WordPress on your own server? If not, I’d 
   appreciate any tips like how to setup the config file for this situation. Thanks.
