I am not sure that this is the place to teach now to install apache or php or mysql or phpmyadmin on any platform.
But if you are having problems maybe I can help you through.
First ..
Do you have apache running? Do you have mySql running? Do you have PHP running?
At this point you should be able to create a phpinfo.php page and run seeing all that php sees.
<?php Echo phpinfo(); ?>
Then simply http://localhost/phpinfo.php
Does this work?

Thanks Gary. That's definitely a new link for me.
In all the 36,437 words there (among the many, many unanswered questions, I must add), did you find anything specific there to address my challenge, namely:
- *linking steps and confirmation checks* when installing - MediaWiki on - Apache, - PHP, - MySQL, and - MediaWiki - and PHPMyAdmin - on Microsoft-Windows-XP-Pro?
I'm afraid I didn't.
Thanks anyway. I'll keep looking ... and asking around.
