I did so and have found myself with a working apache but nothing else. I got php working (it had not enabled loading of the module although I asked it to), and I haven't looked too hard at mySQL yet (phpinfo is not showing me anything to do with mysql though). Tomcat tells me it is running but does not load up its start page when I do localhost:8080 If anyone has installed this combination before and knows what has gone wrong Id appreciate the pointer =) ... this is how I am spending New Years Eve!
