Introduction: -- What are we creating extactly?
- A webserver in which you can host your own files
- Integrated with PHP
- Also, MySQL capabilities
- A new domain for your webserver
DISCLAIMER: By the end of this tutorial, your webserver is only online as long as your computer is!

Step #1:
Download XAMPP
What is XAMPP? It is a package with an autoinstall of PHP, MySQL, and Apache.

**This is a safe file, however I cannot check this with novirusthanks.org, it is 28MB and the limit is 20MB, sorry.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step #2:
a) Run xampplite-win32-1.7.3
b) Choose a destination folder (I chose C:/ for ease of use)
c) Allow it to extract all of its files.
Step #3: A command prompt should pop up after the install is complete.
# Question: Should I add shortcuts to the startmenu/desktop? (y/n):
a) Hit , make sure y is selected.
# Question: Should I proceed? (y/x=exit setup):
b) Hit , Make sure y is selected.
# Question: Should I make a portable XAMPP without drive letters?
c) Hit , make sure n is selected
# Press to continue:
d) Hit
# Press to continue:
e) Hit again
# Please choose (1-5/x)
f) Hit 1, then
Step #4: Customizing your webserver!
You may close the Command Prompt.
Also, the XAMPP Control Panel should have popped up.
a) Hit the "Start" across from Apache
b) Hit the "Start" across from MySql
Congratulations! You have now created a web-server, however it is currently local. (Not on the internet yet)
Now to customize--
a) Go to the directory you chose to install in.
(For me, this is C:\xampplite)
b) Find the "htdocs" folder, open it
**This is your website directory, this is where you would store files like viruses or your index.html**
c) delete index.php and index.HTML and the xampp folder, put in any files you wanted hosted into htdocs

d) Test the web server... Open a browser type http://127.0.0.1 or http://YOUR-INTERNAL-IP (Mine is http://192.168.1.108)
your files should show up :) However they are not on the internet yet.
