On linux I had my web server up and running after my first boot. Seriously Soviut, what the hell makes apache so hard for you?I don't run a Linux server. You do. That about sums it up right there. You're familiar with it, I'm not. Just like I'm sure you'd have a tough time writing tools for Autodesk Maya and pipelining a 3D animation studio, but to me it seems "retardedly simple".
To clarify, it wasn't difficult to get Apache running. It was difficult to get the PHP module to be recognized, configured properly, and take requests.
Firstly, I dont run a Linux server. I run a linux desktop which has apache/php/mysql installed. It's for testing purposes and I am in no way an administrator and never have I claimed to be.
OK, so is it Apache thats a WTF or the windows PHP installer or what? This all started because you claimed that Apache is a WTF because you failed at making it work. That would be as stupid as me claiming Autodesk Maya as a WTF if I failed at writing tools for it. I would just admit I was the WTF not the tool I had difficulty understanding.

As I recall, I spent 3 days researching how to get the PHP module to actually run under apache, how to get requests piped to it, and actually return its responses. I poured over the configs, version conflict docs, etc. and I was sure I'd got every single setting just right, yet Apache wouldn't do the phpinfo() test page when I tried to browse to my localhost. Port 80 was clear, I checked that. Pinged the server, it appeared to be running. Browsed to the localhost and got the Apache test page. But PHP just wouldn't hook. So I finally gave up, and almost cried when IIS "just freakin' worked". But now I was 3 days behind on my project.
So it seems that you are trwtf. You spent 3 days trying to get something working for a project of yours, yet you didnt even have the prerequisite knowledge of how to setup the tools you needed for the project. A bit overambitious maybe? 3 days behind my eye! Sounds like a project you shouldnt have been a part of in the begining. Sorry if it souds harsh, but reality usually is.
